Utau

Aug 31, 2016 21:22
Today, I will talk about the Japanese word "utau," which has several different kanji.

"Utau" is normally written as "歌う" in kanji, and it means "sing" in English.

Basically, there is no problem if you can read/write this kanji.

There are two other kanji that mean "sing": "唄う" and "謡う."

"唄う" is often used for traditional Japanese songs or twitters of birds.

"謡う" is often used for Japanese nursery rhymes and folk songs.

Also, "詠う" is used for waka and tanka (traditional Japanese poem).

"謳う" is also read as "utau," but this is used when you praise something, or you want to emphasize your words.
うたう

今日は複数の異なる漢字を持つ「うたう」という言葉について紹介します。

「うたう」は通常「歌う」と書き、英語の "sing" に相当します。

基本的にはこの漢字だけ覚えていれば問題ありません。

"Sing" を意味する漢字には、他にも「唄う」「謡う」があります。

「唄う」は日本の伝統的な歌や、鳥などの動物が発するさえずりなどで使われることが多いです。

「謡う」は日本の童謡や民謡に対して使われることが多いです。

また、和歌などに対しては「詠う」を使います。

「謳う」も「うたう」と読みますが、これは何かを褒め称えるときや、言葉を強調したいときに使います。
