The Body
Health, Body
noun, の adjective
Somebody's body. This refers to the very general word the body. As in, "the human body" or something like that. This can also refer to health as well.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
This word can also be read からだ, which is irregular but shouldn't be too hard to remember because it's the same as the reading you already learned for 体! You'd usually use this reading in casual contexts, and when the word is on its own, rather than in a compound word. In formal situations and compounds, you'd want to stick to the regular old on'yomi reading.
身体は元気ですが、心はボロボロですよ。
My body is fine, but my heart is tattered.
母は生まれた時から身体が弱いんです。
My mother has had a weak constitution since she was born.
スポーツも大切ですが、身体を休めることはそれ以上に大切です。
Doing sports is important, but resting your body is even more important.
