Onion
noun
ねぎ means "onion" in Japanese. But, there are different kinds of onions, right? This happens to be a "ball onion," which is just one of those round ones, like a Walla Walla Sweet Onion. Do you know?
たまねぎ
Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can guess it will probably use the kun'yomi reading. Luckily, that's the reading you learned with the only kanji in this word, so you should be able to read it!
その丸い玉ねぎ下さい。
Please give me the round onion.
玉ねぎをきっていたら、なみだが出てきた。
When I cut the onions, I teared up.
玉ねぎが入ってないカレーはカレーじゃない。
Curry without onions is not curry.
