  • 土 Dirt
  • 也 Alligator

Meaning

Primary

Earth

Alternatives

Ground, Land

Mnemonic

A dirt alligator lives in the earth, not the water. They can swim through the earth itself! Which is pretty scary.

You can think of this word as ground too, because that's kind of what earth is made of.

Hints

Imagine seeing the earth moving as a dirt alligator rises out from the ground. You should run.

Readings

On’yomi

ち, じ

Kun’yomi

None

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

The only way to keep this dirt alligator from dragging you under the earth and eating you is to feed it cheese (ち). That way it won't lead you to a horrific death under the earth by dragging you under and spinning you around until you eat dirt (literally).

Hints

If you ever see someone throwing cheese on the ground, now you know why. They aren't crazy, they're saving us humans from what's lurking under the earth.
