一ヶ所

One Place


Meaning

One Place, One Spot

Word Type

noun

Explanation

Remember the small ヶ acting as a counter? Together with one and place, it makes this one place or one spot. Just like 〜ヶ月, you'll also run into this being written as 一箇所, 一か所, or 一カ所.


Reading

いっかしょ

Explanation

Just like before, the little ヶ is actually read as か. The rest uses the on'yomi you already learned with the kanji. Just watch out 一 here is いっ instead of いち as it makes it easier to pronounce the whole word. Now, read it aloud and try yourself!
