清涼

Refreshing


Meaning

Refreshing, Cool, Fresh

Word Type

noun, な adjective

Explanation

A pure cool is refreshing and cool, isn't it.


Reading

せいりょう

Explanation

The reading is all on'yomi, and you know how to read 清. You didn't learn 涼's on'yomi (りょう) with the kanji though, so here's a mnemonic to help: You want a refreshing and cool drink really badly. Why? You just had to row (りょう) across a huge lake. With the wind in your face. Imagine how refreshing a cool soda would be after rowing all day!
