To Be Profitable
To Yield A Profit, To Bring In Money
intransitive verb, godan verb
Remember how 儲ける means "to make a profit"? Well, this is the intransitive version — the version that doesn't take a direct object — so it means to be profitable. The かる ending is a hint, because verbs with かる as okurigana (kana added to the kanji) are usually intransitive.
Compared to 儲ける, which is about you gaining something, 儲かる is more about the situation itself bringing in money, like この店は儲かってる (this shop is doing well). It can also refer to some benefit coming in by luck, like 一日儲かった (I got an extra day).
Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You already learned this reading with the kanji, so you're all set here.
あの会社は最近すごく儲かってるらしい。
I heard that company is doing really well lately.
儲かるかどうかはやってみないと分からない。
You won't know if it's profitable until you try.
新しいサービスが予想以上に儲かったんです。
