🔤 Reading: げんき (genki)
1. Genki desu ka?

🇬🇧 Meaning: 元気 = healthy, energetic, lively, doing well
1. "How are you?" / "Are you doing well?"
2. "I go to school energetically every day."
元気 is one of the most common words in daily Japanese conversation! It describes being in good health, having energy, or generally doing well.
💡 Tip: Think of 元 (origin/source) + 気 (spirit/energy) = your original energy is strong! When someone asks 元気ですか?, you can reply 元気です!(I'm good!) or まあまあ元気です (I'm doing okay). It's more natural than just saying "good" — it shows you have energy and vitality!
