Meaning

Primary

Low Voice

Alternative

Whisper

Word Type

noun, の adjective

Explanation

A small voice is so small that you can hardly hear it. It's a low voice or a whisper.

Reading

こごえ

Explanation

The readings for this word are both kun'yomi readings. You've learned both of these readings by now so you should be able to read this on your own. Just watch out because, like in 大声, the こえ becomes ごえ thanks to our old friend rendaku.
