rouse oneself

Practice Question

🎉 Explanation

English Explanation

ふんき combines the on'yomi 奮 (ふん) meaning "rouse/stir up" and 起 (き) meaning "rise/start." ぶんき misreads 奮, and ふんぎ incorrectly applies rendaku to 起. It means to rouse oneself, to gather one's spirits and resolve to take action, often in response to a challenge or setback.

日本語解説

ふんきは、奮(ふん)と起(き)の音読みです。「ぶんき」は奮の誤読、「ふんぎ」は起の読み間違いです。意欲を奮い起こし、気力を奮い立たせて何かを始めること、または困難な状況で自分を鼓舞することを意味します。
