細い
ほそい · hosoi · JLPT N5 · i-adj
slender
🧵 細 = thread 糸 + field 田: fine as a single thread; hosoi sounds like hose-oy
The left side 糸 is the thread radical, which marks many words about fineness. A thread is the classic thin, slender thing. Sound hook: hosoi starts like hose, a long, narrow tube, so hose-oy = thin and slender.
