Meaning

Primary

Cold

Mnemonic

The roof, even though it's almost spring, is still covered in ice so it's cold. Inside the house is cold, outside the house is cold. Everything is cold!

Hints

Picture the entire roof covered in ice. It's supposed to be spring right now, but it's too cold for the ice to melt off your roof.

Readings

On’yomi

かん

Kun’yomi

さむ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

You can't stand the cold anymore, so you hire a samurai to come try to hack the ice off of your roof with his sword. You stand outside shivering, and watching as the samurai tries to stab the ice off of your roof.

Hints

The samurai isn't doing a good job stopping the cold, and soon he and his sword have frozen into your ice roof. So now it's cold and you have a dead samurai stuck to your house. Great.
