飛ぶ
とぶ · tobu · JLPT N5 · verb-godan
to fly
🐦 tobu sounds like toe-boo: a toe-boo hop launches you off the ground
The kanji 飛 began as a drawing of a bird with spread wings, so its core sense is flying. Japanese extends the same verb to hopping and jumping, since both mean leaving the ground. Sound hook: push off with your toe, boo, you are airborne.
