Meaning

Inquire

Mnemonic

Wolverine is doing a construction job and he’s using his mouth to measure so he knows how many folks he needs to inquire about helping him with the job. Using one’s mouth is a strange way to measure something, but that’s just how Wolverine does things. Once he measures it all out, he’ll know how many construction workers he needs to inquire about working for him.

Hints

Imagine Wolverine going around, measuring the construction site with his mouth. Look at him with his mouth wide open, wandering around the site deep in thought. What a weirdo.

Readings

On’yomi

じん

Kun’yomi

たず, ひろ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

You decide to inquire as to why Wolverine is using his mouth to measure out this construction site. As you get closer you notice his cool ripped jeans (じん). Instead you inquire how he got such a fresh style. He looks you up and down, pulls out his claws, and tears yours up to match his. You’ve completely forgotten what it was you were asking, but who cares! Look how great you look!

Hints

Look down at your ripped up jeans. You’re so fashionable now! Just like good old ‘90s Wolvie.
