懲りる

To Learn By Experience


Meaning

To Learn By Experience

Word Type

intransitive verb, ichidan verb

Explanation

The kanji means chastise but the verb vocab version is to learn by experience. I guess these are kind of similar. When you make a mistake, someone will chastise you, and then you will learn by experience (either via the experience or via the chastising).


Reading

こりる

Explanation

As a child (こ) you got a lot of chastising, I bet. A lot of learning by experience (of chastising).
