Gutter


Meaning

Gutter, Ditch, Drain

Word Type

noun

Explanation

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


Reading

みぞ

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you: What goes in the gutter? 水. But, the reading isn't exactly right. It's みぞnot みず, but close enough to create a hook.
