Meaning

Primary

Cliff

Mnemonic

There is a mountain on top of a bunch of dirt with a steep cliff. This is a bit redundant, but the mountain and the dirt just make the cliff even bigger and steeper and scarier.

Hints

Imagine a cliff. Now add two big helpings of dirt and a mountain to the top. It's still a cliff, it's just more cliff than before.

Readings

On’yomi

がい

Kun’yomi

がけ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

As you’re peering over this tall cliff, somebody behind you shouts, “Hey, guy (がい)!” This startles you and you tumble down the cliff. Apparently so did he, because you can hear him saying, "Hey guy! OOF! Are you okay? OOF! Guy? Guy!!!” as you both fall.

Hints

Imagine falling down this huge cliff and the last words you have to hear before you splat on the ground is someone yelling "Guy" at you over and over. What a way to go.
