16. What would happen if you made these kanji more flowery? 田 古 化 何 成


Answer: 

田  DEN, ta - rice field

古  KO, furu(i) - old

化  KA, KE, ba(keru) - transform

何  KA, nan, nani - what, which, how many

成  SEI, JO, na(ru), na(su) - become, consist, form

Adding the "flower" radical (艹 kusakanmuri) makes them all into different characters!

苗  BYOU, nae, nawa - seedling, sapling

苦  KU, kuru(shimu), niga(i) - suffer, bitter

花  KA, hana(su),  - flower

荷  KA, ni - load, cargo, baggage

荿  MO, shige(ru) - grass
