This is the 196th most frequent Japanese word.
持っ
The word "持っ" (motsu) is a conjugated form of the verb "持つ," which means "to hold," "to have," or "to carry."
The word '持って' is used here to indicate that someone is holding or physically having an item.
彼はペンを持っています。
He is holding a pen.
In this sentence, '持って' represents holding or having a responsibility or attribute, not a physical object.
彼女は重要な役割を持っている。
She has an important role.
Here '持ち' is employed metaphorically to describe maintaining or holding onto an abstract concept like a dream.
