Meet 容 in 内容, 容量 and 容器. Read each complete word in its context.
The idea
容 has 10 strokes; follow the linked KanjiVG diagram. Compare 内容(ないよう) and 容量(ようりょう): learn each reading with the whole word.
| Japanese word | Reading | Example in context |
|---|---|---|
| 内容 | ないよう | I checked the contents of the email. |
| 容量 | ようりょう | This bag has a capacity of twenty litres. |
| 容器 | ようき | I put the leftover food in a container. |
Examples
- メールの内容を確認しました。I checked the contents of the email.

- このかばんの容量は二十リットルです。This bag has a capacity of twenty litres.
- スマートフォンの容量が足りません。There isn’t enough storage space on my phone.
