9 受ける To Receive Something

  • Go to
  • Meaning
  • Reading
  • Context
  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

To Receive Something

Alternatives

To Accept Something, To Catch Something, To Take Something In

Word Type

transitive verb, ichidan verb

Explanation

This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb.

The kanji itself means receive, and this verbs means just about the same thing: to receive something!

This is a transitive verb, so it takes a direct object. You receive something, like an education.

Reading

うける

Explanation

You want to receive something more than anything else in the world. It's a ukelele (うけ), of course. Then you can live your Hawaiian paradise fantasy... after you learn to play of course. By the way, you better say ukelele the correct way, like "ooh kay lay lay," not the Anglicized way!
