Memory Hook
Think of 'nai-shi' as 'nigh-she' — a connector that bridges two points. Imagine a sign saying 'from A nigh-she to B' to remember it means 'from...to'.
Cultural Note
『乃至』 (naishi) is a formal connector often used in legal, technical, or written contexts to indicate ranges or alternatives. In casual speech, Japanese speakers might use simpler terms like 『から』 (kara, 'from') and 『まで』 (made, 'to').
