Meaning

Primary

Struggle

Mnemonic

At this gate you're trying to get some beans through, but the measurements were off and you're starting to struggle. No matter how you push or pull these beans, they're just too big to get through the gate.

Hints

"I'm really struggling here, I thought you said you measured these beans?" you ask the bean seller. "I did! I mean, I struggled with the measurements, I'm not very good at math..." Ugh.

Readings

On’yomi

とう

Kun’yomi

たたか

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

You continue to struggle because you need to get these beans to the other side of the gate and into とうきょう. You usually struggle a little when people want to bring things through the gate to とうきょう, but this is ridiculous.

Hints

"How am I supposed to sell my beans if you struggle this much just to get them into とうきょう!" the bean seller shouts. It's making you struggle more, and beans start falling on your head, ripping their way out of their sack.
