Explanation and Etymology - (単位) tani
単位 It is a Japanese word that can be divided into two characters: 単 (tan) and 位 (i). The first character, 単, means "simple" or "unique" while the second character, 位, means "position" or "place". Together, these characters form the word 単位, which can be translated as "unity" or "measure". In the Japanese language, 単位 is often used to refer to units of measure, such as units of length, weight or volume. In addition, the word can also be used in academic contexts to refer to credit units in a university course. The complete etymology of the word 単位 dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when the Japanese language was going through a period of great change and foreign influence. The word 単位 was created from the combination of Chinese characters 単 and 位, which were adapted to the Japanese language. Since then, the word has been used in a variety of contexts, becoming an important part of Japanese vocabulary.How to Write in Japanese - (単位) tani
