宅 residence
ONYOMI: TAKU
as in, "I TALKED TO the homeless guy about what kind of residence he would like. "
They say that “A man's residence is his castle." So that explains why I put on a crown and kick up my heels when I get home from work.
DESCRIPTION: yeah, this is the taku from "otaku." (BOOBOO: In fact, that "otaku" is 99% of the time written as オタク, so you don't get to use the kanji.)
JUKUGO:
- 帰宅 する ( きたく する)
-
go home. (a little formal)
帰 (go back home) + 宅 (residence) = 帰宅 (go home. (a little formal))
- 自宅 ( じたく )
-
a slightly formal word for one's own home (BOOBOO: most people just say うち！）
自 (my own) + 宅 (residence) = 自宅 (one's own home )
- 宅急便 ( たっきゅうびん )
-
home-delivery service (pizza, sex)
宅 (residence) + 急 (urgent) + 便 (convenient / poop) = 宅急便 (home-delivery)
