Meaning

Memorize, Awake

Mnemonic

Viking see, Viking memorize. That’s how Vikings learn things. They see something, and then they memorize it. Quite simple, really. It can also mean awake. Just remember that Vikings can't see if they aren't awake. There won't be anything to memorize if their eyes are still closed, after all!

How else would a Viking memorize something? Imagine having to memorize sea charts for your Viking navigation. Look and see the maps in your brain as you memorize them.

Every morning, a cock (かく) crows and rouses the Vikings. Seeing this, one of the Vikings memorizes the cock crow so that he can mimic it and play pranks on his fellow Vikings.

Imagine yourself memorizing the sound of a cock crow and using it to play jokes on your fellow Vikings. Cock-a-doodle-doo!
