facets-and-rainbows:Kanji: 乳In honor of Tumblr’s bot trying to ban all of myFilthyScandalousVerb conjugation charts,I figure I should give the people more of the titillating content that my blog is apparently known for. So here’s the kanji for milk (or boobs!) 乳 comes from a picture of a hand 爫 holding a child 子 up to (gasp!) a female-presenting nipple. It’s pronounced ち or ちち by itself and にゅう in compounds.乳 can refer to all things milk:牛乳(ぎゅうにゅう) cow’s milk (牛 cow)豆乳(とうにゅう) soy milk (豆 soybean)乳製品(にゅうせいひん) dairy products (製 manufacture, 品 goods/products)哺乳類(ほにゅうるい) mammal (哺 nursing/suckling, 類 type/species)乳糖(にゅうとう) lactose (糖 sugar)Including the organs that produce milk:乳房(ちぶさ or にゅうぼう) breast (房 chamber/room)乳(ちち) milk/breast (more of a “baby talk” word than 乳房 which is the Very Official Thing that Wikipedia etc call them)乳癌(にゅうがん) breast cancer (癌 cancer)乳首(ちくび)nipple (首 neck. Let’s all appreciate that. Boobneck. Refers to both male and female nipples)巨乳(きょにゅう) HUGE GAZONGAS (巨 giant)There, wasn’t that educational? -- source link
