鼻血

Nosebleed


Meaning

Nosebleed, Bloody Nose

Word Type

noun

Explanation

A nose with blood is a nose with a nosebleed. It is a bloody nose.


Reading

はなぢ, はなじ

Explanation

The readings are the kun'yomi vocab readings. You already know 鼻's reading from the kanji and vocab, and you should know the vocab reading of 血 as well. Put them together and you have はなち, though you want to change the ち to ぢ. Alternatively, it's possible (though less common, but it doesn't matter if you're turning it to kanji via an IME anyways) to write it as はなじ. I guess that blood added a little tenten (it represents the blood coming out of that nose!). Spurt spurt spurt.
