Meaning

Primary

Desk

Mnemonic

A tree combines with a table to make a desk. When you think about it, a desk is just a table with more stuff. To make this more stuff, like drawers and such, you need more wood, and wood comes from trees. Add materials from the tree to the table and you have a desk.

Hints

Chop this tree into pieces to transform this table into a desk. Hear the sounds of construction in your head as you make this desk with your bare hands.

Readings

き

Kun’yomi

つくえ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

When you finish the desk you turn to your friend and say, “It’s cool, eh (つくえ)?” Your friend looks at you and says, “S’coo’ eh? What?” “This desk, it’s cool. It’s cool, eh?” “Aw, yeah man. S’coo’ eh.”

Another way to remember this reading is to think about where you find lots of desks. That's right, in a school (つくえ).

Hints

Just imagine someone slurring “It’s cool, eh?” While you think about how cool this desk really is. Run your hands over the finished project as you say it.
