習う
ならう · narau · JLPT N5 · verb-godan
to learn
🪶 習 = wings (羽) + white (白): a chick flapping over and over to learn
Etymology: 習 stacks 羽 (feathers/wings) on 白. A young bird learns to fly by repeating the same wingbeats, so the kanji means learning by practice. Sound hook: narau is learning from a teacher, and what you narau, you get to know-now.
