Explanation

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

Reading

ゆか
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

You look at the floor. It's disgusting. Dirtiest and nastiest floor you've ever seen. You say yucka (ゆか) because it's covered in yucca (ゆか). Plus, it's all rotten.
