よく混同される語
The kanji for 'bird' (tori) looks very similar to 'island' (shima), but 'island' has the mountain radical (山) at the bottom.
This word is also pronounced 'shima' but means 'stripes' and uses different kanji.
使い方のコツ
When used as a suffix in geographical names (like Hiroshima), 'shima' often changes its pronunciation to 'jima' due to rendaku.
よくある間違い
Learners often misread the kanji for 'bird' (tori) as 'island' (shima) because the only difference is the bottom strokes.
覚え方のコツ
