Meaning Explanation

This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means think so the verb version is to think.

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:

You have to remember the おも part to read this word. To do this, though, you'll have to think about that guy... hmm... what was his name? He's on The Simpsons... he's the bartender? I think? Oh! Moe (おも) is his name! Thank you. Now I remember.

If you don't know Moe from the Simpsons use a different Moe, perhaps the one from the Three Stooges? You should be able to come up with one.
