Kanji in this term

Grade: 1
kun'yomi
Alternative spelling

⟨ne2 → */nəɨ//ne/

From Old Japanese. First attested in the Kojiki of 712, with the phonetic spelling .[8]

The original meaning appears to have been "a sound or cry, as made by an insect, bird, or beast".[8] The verb for making such a sound is 鳴く (naku, to make a sound; to cry out), cognate with 泣く (naku, to cry, to weep). It remains unclear if this noun ne ("sound") might be related to the verb naku ("to make a sound").

Pronunciation

Noun

() (ne

  1. a sound, voice
  2. the cry of an animal
Usage notes

Ne is used for relatively soft sounds and voices that appeals to human emotions, as opposed to the oto reading.
