Explanation and Etymology - (対) tai
The Japanese word 対 (tai) is composed of a single kanji character, which represents the concept of "opposition", "confrontation" or "reciprocal relationship". Its etymology dates back to the Chinese ideogram 对, which has the same pronunciation and meaning. 対 is formed by two graphic elements: the radical 寸, which represents a unit of measurement, and the character 立, which means "to stand" or "to rise". Together, they suggest the idea of "measuring oneself standing up", that is, confronting oneself with something or someone. 対 is a very common word in the Japanese language, being used in various contexts, such as politics, sports, interpersonal relationships, and mathematics.How to Write in Japanese - (対) tai
