First-Year Student
noun
You'd maybe think this just means one year of life, but it actually means first-year student. A second-year student is a 二年生, and so on. Just think about how crazy the Japanese are about school. You can see why school is life, and not life itself, making this vocab word "first-year student."
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
