庭

Garden

Meaning

Garden, Yard

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well. You can add the meaning yard to your memory bank as well, if you'd like.

Reading

にわ

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: You look at your garden. It doesn't meet your expectations so you decide it's time to get a newer (にわ) garden. Tear it all down, folks! Getting a newer garden, here!
