Random Kanji Knowledge: Kanji is a complicated means of conveying language. With literally thousands of symbols that have different readings depending on context, the layers of complexity can prove overwhelming. However, beyond the squiggly lines lies sophistication to those patient and diligent enough to learn. Kanji is really cool in this regard.

Today’s kanji is 元気, which is read as genki (gehn-key).
元 means “origin.”
気 refers to the “spirit/mind/mood.”
Combined together, you can think of 元気 as the “original mood” in the sense that humans are supposed to default to being healthy, right?
In fact, one of the first things you’re taught in Japanese class is how to ask if someone is feeling well.
元気ですか? (Genki desu ka?) —> How are you (feeling)?
元気 is also used in the context of someone who is lively or full of energy.
The stroke order for 元気 is shown below.
I hope you are feeling 元気 today.
