sai
If you have sai for something, you have a talent for it.
When you say your age, you use sai, too. If you are 3 years old, you say san (3) sai.
When it is combined with another character, it means talent most of the time. For example, tensai (genius), saino (talent) and bunsai (literary talent).
Here is how to draw this character:
- Draw the horizontal line from left to right.
- Draw the vertical line from top to bottom. Don’t forget the upward turn at the bottom. We call this technique hane.
- Draw the final stroke and end it with a sweeping motion. We call this technique harai (a sweeping stroke).
