Explore 景 in views and in words about the economy. Learn each reading with a complete word.
The idea
景 has 12 strokes; follow the linked diagram. Read 景色（けしき）, 風景（ふうけい）, 夜景（やけい） and 景気（けいき） as whole words. 景 is pronounced け in 景色 and けい in the other examples.
Examples
- この窓からの景色はきれいです。The scenery from this window is beautiful.

- 街の夜景はすてきです。The night view of the city is lovely.
- 景気がだんだん良くなっています。The economy is gradually improving.
- 景色は季節とともに変わります。The scenery changes with the seasons.
- 電車からの景色を楽しみました。I enjoyed the view from the train.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic Japanese voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Japanese device voice is available. You can still read the text and use the linked listening resources.
Watch out
景色 and 風景 describe scenery, while 景気 refers to economic conditions. 京 resembles part of 景 but lacks the 日 above it.
