Floor
Story, Storey
suffix
You know that the kanji refers to a floor (as in the "fifth floor"). This word represents the version that comes after a number, shown with a 〜. Essentially, this has the same meaning as the kanji you learned, making it nice and easy.
The reading is the same as the one you learned with the kanji. Don't type in the 〜 or you'll get it wrong!
