Usage notes
In print, 人 may have symmetric legs. However in handwriting, to distinguish from 入, the right leg will be shorter, the shape looking like a backwards λ (lambda); in 入 the left leg is shorter.

Noun
人 (traditional and simplified, POJ jîn or lîn)
Usage notes
- When by itself, 人 is always read as lâng. For compound words, Min Nan resembles Japanese, in that there does not seem to be a consistent rule for when to use the vernacular vs. literary pronunciation. Certain compounds will always use the vernacular (ex. siàu-liân-lâng young person), whereas others will always use the literary pronunciation (ex. Hàn-jîn ethnic Han Chinese).

Q. Why does e e a mean adult? I'm looking for an explanation about this kanji combination. one-person-befo re just seems odd to mean adult. Thanks!

A. e e a has an another meaning, that is, serving for one person. In the same way e e a means serving for two person. So if you get adult and you can eat as much as adult you are served as one person. Therefore Teenager is often called a e a .
