Burn


Meaning

Burn, Scald

Word Type

noun, verbal noun

Explanation

A fire wound is a burn or scald you got from fire (or other hot things). Ouch!


Reading

やけど

Explanation

The reading for this is unlike anything you've seen with these kanji. Try to think about a burn (on your arm) being caused by a yakky dodo (やけど) bird (which is a dodo bird that has yak-like features). Take a look at how weird it is, and wonder why it is burning you. Feel the pain.
