1. tree A picture of a tree.
2. inter- 木 tree + 目 eye I hate interacting with people, so I climbed a tree and kept an eye out for anyone approaching.
3. book 木 tree + 一 one I used a whole tree to make just one book. This kanji also means ‘root’ or ‘origin’, so you can view it as a picture of a tree with the last stroke emphasizing the single root.
4. plan 安 safe + 木 tree You’re being chased by a bear! You’re probably safe on top of this tree, but now you need to think of a plan.
5. not yet This tree has not yet finished growing; the upper branches are still short. “Have you cut off those short branches on top of the tree?” “Not yet...”
6. conclusion That tree has reached the conclusion of its growth. Look how long the upper branches are! When I tried to set up my Christmas tree, the top branches were too long, and it fell over. In conclusion, never buy a top-heavy tree.
7. flavor 口 mouth + 未 not yet You can only taste a food’s flavor when you have put it into your mouth but not yet swallowed it.
8. younger sister 女 woman + 未 not yet My younger sister is a woman who has not yet grown up.
