12 合う To Suit

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

Meaning

Primary

To Suit

Alternatives

To Come Together, To Meet, To Match

Word Type

intransitive verb, godan 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 suit so the verb version is to suit.

This word also means to come together as well. Presumably when something suits something else, it comes together with it flawlessly. That's why this word also has this other meaning (and it will be important for future vocab as well).

Reading

あう

Explanation

You want to find a pet to suit your personal style, so you get matched with an aardvark (あ). An aardvark will match the ant mounds you use for chairs and couches, it's the perfect match.
