Shop


Meaning

Shop, Store

Word Type

noun

Explanation

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


Reading

みせ

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 of your favorite shop. Okay, now imagine yourself going to it. When you arrive, the entire shop is totally missing (みせ). Feel the shock and awe of this. It's as if it picked up and left overnight. No building, no anything. Just missing.
