ビエトは、うらないしから今年中に幸せがおとずれると言われました。

A fortune teller told Viet that happiness will come to him within the year.

「私はお金で幸せは買えると思います。何故なら、私は花火を見ていると幸せな気持ちになるからです。もし私が大金持ちだったら、毎日花火を楽しんでずっと幸せな気持ちでいられることができます。」彼女は幸せそうな口調でそう言った。

"I think money can buy happiness because watching fireworks makes me happy. If I had a lot of money, I could enjoy fireworks every day and feel happy all the time," she said happily.

Meaning Explanation

This is the noun version of the kanji 幸. Kanji means happiness and the vocab word means happiness.

Reading Explanation

Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You didn't learn that reading with this kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

On your quest for true happiness, you meet a happiness guru. She always says (しあわせ), "just be happy!" She always says that, and you always listen. You can't believe how simple yet profound her approach is!
