眠る
ねむる · nemuru · JLPT N4 · verb-godan
to sleep
🛏️ nemuru: need more rest? Nemuru. Kanji 眠 = eye 目 + people 民
眠 pairs the eye radical 目 with 民 (people), which here gives the sound min: the eye part signals shut eyes, so sleep. Same kanji as in 睡眠 (suimin, sleep). Sound hook: ne-mu-ru starts like need more rest.
