To Give
To Grant, To Bestow
transitive verb, ichidan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means give so the verb vocab version is to give or to grant.
This is a relatively formal word that is generally used in writing. In conversations, people commonly use more relaxed words like あげる or くれる.
Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You didn't learn that reading with this kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you:
You go to give a bone to your dog. Atta (あた) boy, Sparky! Atta boy.
犬にえさを与える前に座らせてください。
Please make the dog sit before giving it food.
