Meaning

Primary

Pond

Mnemonic

The poor alligator was taken far inland by a tsunami. Now his only source of water is a tiny pond that barely fits his body, and doesn't even provide much food.

Hints

Imagine the alligator riding the tsunami in. When he hits the ground, and the water recedes, he's all alone in a pond, but it doesn't provide much for him. Imagine him looking for food in the little, shallow pond. Imagine him trying to stay wet... it's just not a great situation to be in, unfortunately.

Readings

On’yomi

ち

Kun’yomi

いけ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

The worst part about this pond is that the only thing for the alligator to eat is cheese (ち). Cheese may be yummy for humans, but alligators hate it. They'd rather eat the cow the cheese came from. Sadly, this pond is full of cheese.

Hints

Picture an alligator crying in a pond full of cheese. It's eating a piece really slowly and weeping.
