Meaning

Primary

To Become

Word Type

intransitive verb, godan verb

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 become so the vocab verb version would be to become.

While the kanji version is worth knowing, be aware that you'll usually see this verb written in hiragana.

Reading

なる

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 are starting to become something else. You're transforming, but you're not sure what it is. First, you get fins... uh oh, something in the water. Then, you gain a tail and rubbery skin... hmm, something sea mammal-like. Oh, and then a huge horn flies out of your nose. You are going to become a narwhal (な).
