Memory Hook

Imagine 'sand' on a beach — it's 'suna' (砂 suna) that you can run your hands through. 'Suna' sounds like 'soon-a' beach day!

Cultural Note

In Japan, sand is often associated with beaches like those in 『沖縄』 (Okinawa, 'Okinawa') or traditional 『砂遊び』 (suna asobi, 'sand play') for children. 『砂時計』 (sunadokei, 'hourglass') is a common symbol for time.
