Explanation and Etymology - (土台) dodai
The Japanese word 土台 (どだい) consists of two kanjis: 土 (つち) which means "earth" and 台 (だい) which means "platform" or "base". Thus, the literal meaning of 土台 is "earth base". In the Japanese language, this word is commonly used to refer to a construction base or foundation, such as houses, buildings and bridges. It can also be used figuratively to refer to a base or foundation of ideas, concepts or arguments. The etymology of the word 土台 dates back to the period Nara (710-794), when the word was written with the Kanjis 土 (つち) and 堆 (たい), which meant "mound of land". Over time, writing has evolved into Kanji 台 (だい), which was used to refer to a platform or base. Thus, the word 土台 represents the union of the concepts of "earth" and "platform", which together form the idea of a solid and stable base for constructions and ideas.How to Write in Japanese - (土台) dodai
