Memory Hook
Imagine losing money in a game — you feel a 'son' (損 son sounds like 'sun' but with loss). 'Son' → 損 (son, 'loss'), like the sun setting on your advantage.
Cultural Note
In Japanese business and daily life, avoiding 『損』 (son, 'loss') is important. The phrase 『損をしない』 (son o shinai, 'not to incur a loss') is common in negotiations and financial decisions.
