Ride


Radical Combination


Meaning

Ride

Mnemonic

You put a grain in your mouth and let it take a ride. This kanji has the same radicals as 和, but this time the grain is in your mouth, which is why there's little pieces of grain sticking out of the 口 part ;)

Just imagine you're a car or a train and the grain is a person. It's going for a nice ride in your mouth!


Reading

On'yomi

じょう

Kun'yomi

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

You decide the grain is probably lonely on this ride alone, so you add some nori (の) seaweed, so it has a friend.

Now the nori is going for a ride too, woohoo!
