Meaning

Primary

Clumsy

Alternative

Unskillful

Mnemonic

You have to use your fingers to make an exit because you're so clumsy. You can't seem to get the door to open, your hands just slip around on the knob uselessly. Instead, you take your fingers and stick them into the door frame, pulling the whole thing off the hinges so you can leave.

Hints

Of course, you're too clumsy to do that right either, you accidentally threw the door backwards and hurt some people...

Readings

On’yomi

せつ

Kun’yomi

つたな

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

After you make your clumsy mistake you realize that these doors come in sets (せつ). And now you have to try to open another door. And another door. So many sets of doors!

Hints

Imagine trying to use your clumsy fingers all over the sets of doors. You keep falling over and hurting yourself. Why is it so hard to leave?!
