14 待合 Waiting Room

  • Go to
  • Meaning
  • Reading
  • Context
  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

Waiting Room

Alternative

Meeting Place

Word Type

noun, する verb

Explanation

The place you wait to join other people is a waiting room or a meeting place.

Reading

まちあい

Explanation

The readings for this word are both kun'yomi readings, but it's like the hiragana that normally sticks out is stuffed in. 待ち → 待, 合い → 合 and is pronounced the same too. I know it's confusing, but once you get it down you'll never forget!

Context

Context Sentences
