Husband


Meaning

Husband

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.


Reading

おっと

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: Think about your husband even if you don't have one. What's his name? It's Otto (おっと), and he's always leaving you at home because he's working at the auto (おっと) shop.
