訓読くんよみ: さげる

画数かくすう: 12 strokes

部首ぶしゅ: 扌(てへん)

Meaning

To carry, present, or suggest something — often with the hand.


  • 提案ていあん — proposal, suggestion
  • 提供ていきょう — offer, sponsorship, donation
  • 提出ていしゅつ — submission
  • 前提ぜんてい — premise, condition
  • 提示ていじ — presentation, showing

The left side radical 扌 (てへん) indicates hand or action, showing that this kanji is about a physical or metaphorical act. The right side is phonetic and contributes the sound テイ. Originally, it had the idea of raising or offering something with the hand — which naturally led to meanings like presenting, submitting, or suggesting.

提案ていあんれました。
The proposal was accepted.

書類しょるい提出ていしゅつしてください。
Please submit the documents.

On-yomi readings テイ and ジョウ are mostly used in compound words. The kun-yomi さげる means “to hang down” or “carry in hand,” but it’s less common in modern expressions.
