Meaning

Primary

Paint

Mnemonic

A tsunami surplus will cover all the dirt with paint. The surplus of tsunamis will strike the paint factories first (everyone knows paint factories are built close to the ocean). Then the paint will flow over all the dirt and paint it a ton of rainbow colors.

Hints

Picture all of the different colors of paint being swept along by tsunami after tsunami, painting the dirt as it goes.

Readings

On’yomi

と

Kun’yomi

ぬ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

You touch the paint in the dirt with your toe (と) to see if it's still wet. It is. The paint is still very wet and now your toe looks like a tiny rainbow.

Hints

Imagine dipping each of your toes into the paint-dirt, one by one, to paint each of them a different color. Why are you doing this?
