Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it uses the kun'yomi reading. Here's a mnemonic to help you to remember it:

Since you have generations of people making up this world, think of the rapper generation. What do they say all the time (obviously I don't know anything about rap)? They say "Yo yo yo!" (よ).
