Inside


Meaning

Inside, Within

Word Type

noun, の adjective

Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well. When this kanji is a word on its own, it's actually very often written in hiragana. Still, the kanji version of the word is worth knowing, too!


Reading

うち

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it should use the kun'yomi reading. When learning the kanji, you didn't learn that reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you with this word: There's something inside and you wanna get to what's within. Look inside. Ooh, cheese (うち)! Your favorite. Ooh cheese, how I love you.
