Kawa means 'river'; learners often mix up these two basic nature kanji during early study.
Shima means 'island'; while both refer to geographical features, 'yama' is strictly an elevation on land.
Notes d'usage
When '山' is used as a suffix for specific names (like Mt. Fuji), it is usually read as 'san' or 'zan' (e.g., Fujisan). The standalone reading is almost always 'yama'.
Erreurs courantes
Beginners often mistakenly say 'Fujiyama' instead of 'Fujisan' because they only know the standalone 'kun-yomi' reading.
