Word Type

noun

Explanation

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

Reading

いもうと

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: Your younger sister is really into emotes (いもうと). Look up this word if you're not a teenage girl. Just imagine her sending you these on your phone over and over. You tell your younger sister: "HEY, STOP SENDING ME EMOTES."
