Meaning

Primary

Past

Mnemonic

If someone tries to dig up private dirt on you, tell them no thanks, that stuff is in the past. Some things should stay in the past. Not everyone needs to know everything about your life and your past.

Hints

Keep your private dirt in the past. It's better for everyone.

Readings

On’yomi

きょ, こ

Kun’yomi

さ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

To remember the reading きょ, we'll use "Little Kyoto." This will differentiate きょ from きょう, which is regular-sized Kyoto. Get it? You decide to bury all this private dirt from your past in Little Kyoto (きょ). That stuff is from when you were just a little 子 (こ) and you don't like to think about it.

Hints

Imagine physically, literally burying your past 子 self. If you hide it in Little Kyoto, no one will ever be able to dig it up.
