扇ぐ

To Fan


Meaning

To Fan

Word Type

transitive verb, godan verb

Explanation

Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means folding fan and since you don't "to folding fan" something, this word means to fan instead.


Reading

あおぐ

Explanation

Imagine yourself trying to fan yourself with an 青 (あお) fan. For some reason blue fans feel cooler. Maybe it's because they're the color of ice/water?
