Word Type

suffix

Explanation

The kanji and the word are almost exactly the same. When you see this word after a number, it’s for physical bills of money.

Reading

さつ

Explanation

This is a suffix that takes the on’yomi reading, which you’ve learned already!

You'll also see this pronounced ふだ, but that's when it's a standalone word or part of a compound, rather than a suffix. So if you answer with that reading, you'll be prompted to enter the suffix reading instead.
