お風呂

Bath


Meaning

Bath

Word Type

noun

Explanation

Let the wind in from the window above your bath so the water is cool enough for you to take a bath! If the water is too hot, you'll get all dizzy and that's dangerous!


Reading

おふろ

Explanation

This is a jukugo word that uses the on'yomi readings of the kanji. This isn't the same on'yomi reading you learned for 風, though. It's a little different: ふ. If you're taking a bath you'd be a fool (ふ) to bring food in there. Drop the う or you'll end up as soup!
