Turtle Shell


Radical Combination


Meaning

Turtle Shell, A

Mnemonic

The turtle shell radical and the turtle shell kanji are exactly the same! Oddly, this can also be used to talk about the first item in a list, so to mean A out of A through D, for example.

Cowabunga! You get an A!


Reading

On'yomi

こう, かん

Kun'yomi

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

With a turtle shell on his back, imagine こういち.

Because this is WaniKani, こういち has probably set the turtle shell on fire, too. "Burn those turtle shells, burn those kanji!" he yells.
