Radical Combination

  • 口 Mouth

Readings

On’yomi

こう, く

Kun’yomi

くち

Nanori

None

Meaning Mnemonic

The mouth radical and the mouth kanji are exactly the same!

Hints

If you learned your radicals–which the WaniKani system forces you to do (unless you're cheating)–you'll already know the meaning of the kanji.

Reading Mnemonic

Do you remember seeing the construction worker こういち earlier in the 工 mnemonic? If you haven't yet, not to worry!
For kanji with こう readings (there are a lot of them!) we will use the character こういち every time. He's one of the people who started this website, so we'll do our best in the mnemonics to embarrass him as much as possible. Anyways, remember that whenever you see こう, think こういち.

Everyone agrees, (こういち)'s mouth is his best feature. You stare at it lovingly as he whispers sweet kanji readings to you.

Hints

You just can't forget all the cool things about kanji learning he said from that mouth. What a great mouth こういち has. How are the lips of his mouth both so skinny and fat at the same time?
