# 体 - からだ - [Body](https://www.wanikani.com/vocabulary/%E4%BD%93) - Level 5

@koichi’s Mnemonic: You have your **body**. It’s nice - looking good! What would really mess up your body? It would be a **car raider** (からだ). I’m talking about a dude who is a raider of some kind driving a car. If he runs into your body, you’re done for, so watch out for the car raider!

ok, here i am again with some fuel-based mnemonic.  
here is 増える means “to increase”. and read as ふえる  
first kanji looks like a fuel-pump to me.  
in my country, usually fuel prices increase regularly so…

That fuel pump actually looks remarkably like the kanji. It’s even got those two little horns on top.

I like it too! And I also know the feeling of regularly increasing fuel prices 🌝  
(I’ll embrace it for when I reach level 21)

I use Gai for 外 and also for 害. He’s so powerfull he can do many damages. He incurs damage if he goes to far too.  
I also think of Sai for several kanji like 才 (he’s a kind of genius) or 妻 (not for the wife but because of the brush radical)  
I remember 常に tsuneni because I think of Tsunade 😃

When you’re making an exchange and the other person seems a bit どうじ (dodgy)…

I mostly just want to make people cringe, but I guess I’ll put in some actual effort 😛

This Cr行おこなう must **do**  **a** very important **task**. What **task** must it **carry out**? You see, this is actually the Wani part of WaniKani. WaniKani is simply a Cr行う and a Krabby tied together, and this Cr行う has to find his Krabby or else the WaniKaniers will figure out the trickery.

It’s a big leech for a lot of people, that’s why I focused on it. I myself only know it because I failed it about a dozen times on Memrise 🙂

In fact my mnemonic was “What’s the most annoying Japanese word for a beginner?” because it came to mind instantly 🤣

Yeah I’m completely out of the poke loop…

Sorry for long response times btw.  
While uni is in I have little time for the forums.

But I will still occasionally pop my head in, so please feel free to continue posting new ones, I’ll add them to the list eventually. ^ \_ ^
