Example Word
響き: echo or resonance. The Japanese noun '響き (ひびき)' primarily refers to the concept of 'echo' or 'resonance'. It describes the sound that reverberates or lingers after the original sound has been made. This word can also metaphorically describe the impact or influence of something, such as an event or idea, that continues to affect people or situations. For example: The echo of the bell was beautiful「鐘の響きが美しかった」(かねのひびきがうつくしかった). Her words had a deep resonance「彼女の言葉は深い響きがあった」(かのじょのことばはふかいひびきがあった).
