気 Expressions

気 (き/ki) is a word that means “spirit” or “mood,” but it is used in many different expressions.  Here are some of the expressions:

気に入り (ki ni iri)  =  favorite

気に入る (ki ni iru)  =  to be pleased with

気にする (ki ni suru)  =  to mind, worry, care about

気にするな！(ki ni suru na)  =  Don’t worry about it!

気に掛ける (ki ni kakeru)  =  to way on one’s mind, to trouble one’s heart

気になる (ki ni naru)  =  to worry, be anxious, uneasy

気に障る (ki ni sawaru)  =  to offend

気に座る (ki ni suwaru)  =  to hurt one’s feelings

気に留める (ki ni tomeru)  =  to heep in mind, give heed to, pay attention to

気を付ける (ki wo tsukeru)  =  to be careful, take care

気をつかう (ki wo tsukau)  =  to pay attention to another’s needs

気を悪くする (ki wo waruku suru)  =  to take offense at, feel hurt

気を許す (ki wo yurusu)  =  to let one’s guard down

気を散らす (ki wo chirasu)  =  to distract a person’s attention

気を取られる (ki wo torareru)  =  to have one’s attention caught, to be preoccupied with

気を静める (ki wo shizumeru)  =  to calm feelings, compose oneself

気を配る (ki wo kubaru)  =  to pay attentnion, be watchful

As you can see, these expressions that use 気 often have to do with one’s feelings or mood (and many of them are very similar).  So, I’ll say to everyone today:

みんな、気を付けてください！

Everyone, take care!
