To Call, To Call Out
transitive verb, godan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means call so the verb vocab version is to call or to call out. As in "HEY, YOU!"
よぶ
The reading is the same as the kanji, so you should be good here. Just imagine yourself calling out to someone: "YO (よ)! You!"
