JLPT N5 kanji. Readings, meaning, and how the character is built.
出 means to exit, go out. It is a JLPT N5 kanji written in 5 strokes, read でる or しゅつ. It is built from 2 parts: 山 (foot (a distorted 止; it only looks like a mountain)), 凵 (cave, pit). It appears in 出す (to take (something) out) and 出口 (an exit).
出 is written in 5 strokes, in the order numbered below. Order matters: it is what makes handwriting legible, and it is how the character is looked up in a paper dictionary.
出 breaks into 2 parts.
| Word | Reading | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 出す | だす | to take (something) out |
| 出口 | でぐち | an exit |
| 出る | でる | to appear / to leave |
These use 山 or 凵 too. The part keeps its job from one character to the next, which is what makes it worth learning once.
