Outside
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
そと
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it should use the kun'yomi reading. When learning the kanji, you didn't learn that reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you with this word:
You look outside, it's totally frozen. You throw salt (そと) outside to melt the ice.
外でまちましょう。
Let’s wait outside.
ねこたちは、まどの外にいるとりをジーッとみています。
The cats are staring at the bird outside of the window.
今日は一日中外であくびをしていた。
I kept yawning outside all day today.
