Meaning

Primary

Prison

Mnemonic

You have an animal and you say it’s a dog to prevent it from going to prison. Dogs are the only animals that don’t have to go to prison. Your animal is not a dog, but you say it is to prevent it from going to prison.

Hints

Imagine any animal that’s not a dog. Now imagine dressing it up like a dog so it doesn’t have to go to prison. Practice throwing your voice by saying “woof woof” aloud to help convince people that your animal is actually a dog.

Readings

On’yomi

ごく

Kun’yomi

None

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

What is the name of your animal? Your animal is named Goku (ごく). Yeah, like Goku from Dragon Ball Z. You don’t want your little Goku to go to prison, so you say that he’s a dog.

Hints

Poor little Goku doesn’t want to go to prison either so Goku does his best to act like a dog even though he isn’t. How adorable.
