Meaning

Primary

Demand

Mnemonic

In the rain I take my rake and shake it, making a demand that the rain stop! I demand this rain stop right now! Don’t make me shake my rake more violently than I am currently shaking it!

Hints

Go out into the rain and shake your rake. Imagine shouting your demand at the sky as the rain pelts you from above.

Readings

None

Mnemonic

Now imagine the rain changing. Wait a second, this isn't rain, it's juice (じゅ)! You shake your rake harder, and demand that the juice rain continues. It doesn't listen to your demands and stops as soon as you start bottling it. Well, at least you have enough for one, really small juice box.

Hints

Picture yourself demanding more rain from the sky, trying to fill up your tiny juice box with what little juice rain you were able to get.
