Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.

Reading

ひだり

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it uses the kun'yomi reading. You haven't learned this reading yet, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

Imagine hearing someone to your left saying, "Hi Da'ri!" (ひだり) which is supposed to be "Hi There," or "Hi Dearie." You turn left and there's no one there. You hear it again, "Hi Da'ri!" Keep turning to the left until you find the person saying hi to you.

Context
