The topic for this lesson is the word 気 Ki.

Another example would be 気分 Kibun which means feeling or mood. And there is also 気圧 Kiatsu which means atmospheric pressure.
However, in this lesson, we’re going to focus more on how 気 is used in conversational phrases related to thinking, your mind and your attitude.
