Meaning

Primary

An Epic

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The big make! What is your big make? Bigger than anything else. It is your epic (as in an epic that you write). Also could be an epic, epic saga, and masterpiece.

Reading

たいさく

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. Since 大 has two on'yomi readings, here's a mnemonic to help you remember which one to use:

Did you know that there's an epic about a tie sack (たいさく)? It's a masterpiece about a magic sack that produces tie after tie after tie. A bit like The Magic Porridge Pot, but with a sack and ties instead.
