Meaning

Primary

Starve

Mnemonic

You’re so hungry that you eat a table so you won’t starve. If you don’t eat this table, you will most definitely starve, so you eat the table to stay alive.

Hints

You don’t want to starve, do you? Feel your tummy gurgle in pain. You gotta eat this table. Taste the dry wood taste on your tongue as you eat the table and get splinters in your tongue and gums.

Readings

On’yomi

き

Kun’yomi

う

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

After you finish the table, you still feel like you might starve so you decide to eat every key (き) off your key ring. One by one, you eat each and every key so you don’t starve.

Hints

Imagine eating every key. Taste the cold metal on your tongue. After you swallow each key, you hear it clink against the other keys already in your tummy. Clink!
