誘う = casual invite, like “Hey, wanna hang out?”

招待 = formal invite, like “You’re cordially invited…”

招待 is "more formal, like inviting to a wedding or birthday party."


誘う - "is used in more casual settings, but there is no limit on time element (can be immediate, or next week etc.). So asking someone out to go to a movie, or on a date, would be described by this verb. Can often be associated with spur of the moment"

招く - "is more formal than 誘う, but often (not always) used for invitation of non-human kind (e.g., invitation of fortunes or happiness)"

When you get an invitation to a public event you know it's just a matter of time until it's shoutai (show time)

For an invitation first you beckon 招 and then you wait 待

You've heard of a black-tie event? This is an invitation to a show-tie event.

I'm gonna send you an invitation (しょうたい) to my presentation (しょうかい)

You need to wait 待 to be INVITED 招 to the show, Tai しょうたいする. It’s very exclusive.

I got an INVITATION for a Show（しょう) in Thai-land (たい)

Pitch accent: しょ＼うたい¹.

大 has the meaning "Big". So in this context, it means that something means alot

大切 and 親切 are easier to understand if you understand 切 like part, aspect, "cutoff" (of a whole). Then, like セヴィ said, 大 mean "Big" and figuratively, "important". So, put together, you get the meaning of "Big/important part/aspect". For 親切, 親 has the meaning "relative", "close", "friendly". So put together, you get the meaning of "friendly/close/relative part/aspect". And that, in context, could refer to diverse aspects of friendship like kind, friendly, considerate, etc.

It's used for things which are to be treated as if they can't be replaced, or a state where something should be valued and given heed to, (...) but I believe that 大切 is more about the 心 /sentimental/emotional sense and is more subjective and 大事 more about being fundamentally important/valuable and is more objective.

重要 - important for a certain purpose (objective)

大切 - emotional importance (subjective)

大事 - very similar to 大切 but more obejctive

It's IMPORTANT that my VALUABLE ties are in sets.

My most valuable thing are my tie sets

The most VALUABLE sword in your collection is the one that makes the large 大 cuts 切. It must have been owned by an IMPORTANT person before.

It's important because tai set su (I said so)!

Rock Lee cannot do ninjutsu or genjutsu, only taijutsu, which is important and valuable to him. Taisetsu is similar sounding to taijutsu.

IMPORTANT. If seven big swords (大切) cut Sue, be sure to tie (たい) and set Sue (せつ) wounds.

Something important to you is a big 大 'cut' 切 of who you are; to lose it is to lose a big peice of yourself.

You need a tie (“tai”), maybe even a tie set for an important event.

It's a little known fact that THAI SETSUmas are actually an *important, significant* part of the Thai economy.

You wear your best たい (tie) and せつt (suit) for a very (important) meeting.

Tie and suit shows important. ta i se tsu

To distinguish 大切 from 親切:
THAI (たい = 大) people are *important* and CHINese (しん = 親) people are *kind*. But they both *cut* the lines. Et puis C'EST TOUT ! (せつ = 切)

Because this is so IMPORTANT, it is たい-me (time) せつ-tive (sensitive).

The second kanji reminds me of carrying a baby on your back in one of those baby carriers or a young child riding piggy back. So you have 2 people and their most important, most valuable and most precious child. You can also add tie Seth (baby) to Sue (mom) for Taisetsu.

Its important to remember that 切 as a kanji has many more senses than “cut” it can also mean “urgency or eagerness” among other things. Which is why the compound makes sense.

賢者 (kenja) refers to a wise person, often with a deep, philosophical wisdom and experience. It carries a classical or literary nuance and is used to describe someone respected for their profound insight, like a sage or a philosopher.

賢人 (kenjin) also means a wise or intelligent person, but it’s slightly more modern and general compared to 賢者. It emphasizes intelligence and good judgment but doesn’t have as strong a mystical or spiritual feeling.

賢い人物 (kashikoi jinbutsu) literally means a “wise person” and is a straightforward, everyday term. It describes someone who is smart or clever, but without the formal or respectful undertone that 賢者 and 賢人 carry.
