sentence

On-Yomi: ブン、モン — Kun-Yomi: ふみ、あや

Elements:

sentence, plaid, kilt, Billy Connolly

Heisig story:

Under the familiar top hat we see a crisscross pattern or design, like that found on woodwork or garments. This should make an ugly enough image to help remember it. It can be associated with sentence by thinking of a sentence as a grammatical pattern.

Heisig comment:

* The primitive meaning for this character will be plaid, the familiar crisscross pattern frequently used in textiles.

Koohii stories:

1) [mhheie] 4-1-2007(183): A twist on greenapple: The teacher puts a tophat on all pupils with gramatically correct sentences, while the rest are left with a big red X on their homework.

2) [greenapple] 2-5-2006(60): The teacher in the tophat puts an X on all the grammatically incorrect sentences.

3) [nest0r] 31-3-2008(34): I celebrated finishing the Heisig books by buying myself a plaid top hat (top hat with criss cross pattern to symbolize the crisscrossing flashcards) and then I began the AJATT sentence method.

4) [Nukemarine] 26-10-2007(14): It should not be a problem to see this as SENTENCE. For the primitive, think in a Scottish accent and say "PLAID kilt". Guess it can look like a Beret wearing scot.

5) [meredithcat] 28-7-2010(10): I'm making sentence/plaid into a new primitive: Catholic schoolgirl. (This should be fun.) // All of the Catholic schoolgirls wear uniforms with top hats and plaid skirts, and sit in school practicing their sentences.
