Use of kanji 有

[Sewhorsey]

I don’t often see this kanji in my reading. I’m still starting on my reading journey, but i typically see あります not a conjugated form of 有る.

Is it a kanji usually used in conjunction with other characters? Any insight appreciated.

ありがとう

[Saida]

有難う？

But seriously, ある is usually written in kana. Probably when strictly the possession meaning, you might see 有る

[Leebo]

Yeah, the word ある is typically written in hiragana. But yes, you will see 有 in a variety of common words, like 有名 or 共有.
