Meaning

Primary

Underworld

Alternatives

Hades, Realm Of The Dead

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The underworld world is the underworld, Hades, or the realm of the dead.

This word is a bit poetic, and mostly used in writing, particularly in contexts like Buddhism, spirituality, and ancient mythologies. It's usually interchangeable with 冥土 (which is also in this level), but 冥土 is used more in certain set expressions, which we'll mention in the page for that word!

Reading

めいかい

Explanation

This is a jukugo word that uses the on'yomi readings of the kanji. You learned those with the kanji, so you should be able to read this on your own.

Context

Context Sentences
