Meaning

Primary

To Move Something Close To

Alternatives

To Pull Something Over, To Contribute Something

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.

This is a transitive verb. That means it takes a direct object. The kanji itself means approach, and the verb version is about making or letting something approach. That's why it means to move something close to, to pull something over, and also to contribute something.

Reading

よせる

Explanation

You want to move something close to you, but it's out of reach. The solution, of course, is to take out your trusty yo-yo (よ) and lasso that thing and pull it closer!
