For this week, the word of the week is:

た
(ta)

Rice Field

た (ta) is the Kun-yomi of 田. The On-yomi is でん (den).

The name 田中 (with the Kanji 田, read as たなか (Tanaka)) is among the top 10 most common last names in Japan. In some names, 田 can be read as だ, like in the case of 山田 read as やまだ (Yamada).
