Meaning

Primary

Float

Mnemonic

A tsunami knocks a cleat off a child and the shoe begins to float away in the water. This child was just out playing soccer, minding his own business, when the tsunami crashed in and knocked his cleats off his feet. Now the cleat is floating away with the tsunami.

Hints

Your cleat is floating away but you’re floating too. The water is really deep now, but you try and float towards your cleat to retrieve it. Imagine floating in this wet water reaching for your lost cleat.

Readings

On’yomi

ふ

Kun’yomi

う, うわ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

While you float in the water, an uni (う) jabs into your foot. “Uwaaa~ (うわ)” you cry. That uni really hurts. They’re all spikey and painful and junk. “Uwaaaa~”

Hints

Say “Uwaaa~” out loud a few times while you imagine an うに stabbing you as you float along with the tsunami water. What a day you’ve had.
