感じ
かんじ
- flat (heiban)
How to read it: a line over a kana means the voice is high there, and ↓ marks where it drops. A kana with no line is low. With no ↓ the pitch stays high to the end and does not drop even on a following particle (が, は).
feeling, sense, impression
Kanji is the continuative stem of the verbs 感ずる (kanzuru) and 感じる (kanjiru, “to feel”).
