申 humbly say/god radical
(right radical)
ONYOMI:
The line goes above and below the rice field, because rice fields represent Earth, but God goes from Heaven (above) to Hell (below).
Simple.
DESCRIPTION: The kunyomi is only used on formal occasions, but you should learn it anyway because it is like one of the most common formal words!
On the other hand, as a radical, it means "god",and it is seen really often.
STRONG RADICAL for the ON-yomi of SHIN.
KUNYOMI:
- ( と ) もう＊す
-
When you're talking to a superior person, you use 申す instead of 言う to describe your own speech. (Instead of saying, 'My name is Ruttiger', you'd say 'Ruttigerともうします！’）

USED IN:
| Meaning | Hint | Radical | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 甲 | turtle shell | line goes DOWN | |
| 由 | freedom / reason | line goes UP | |
| 申 | humbly say | LINE GOES UP AND DOWN |
The turtle's head(甲) goes DOWN into its shell.
But you have the freedom to reach UP(由) to the stars.
GOD (申)is infinite so the line sticks OUT ON BOTH SIDEZZZ.
