せっし

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

Context Sentence

今日の最高気温は、摂氏二十五度です。

Today’s highest temperature was twenty-five degrees Celsius.

Meaning Explanation

Okay, so this is a stretch but stay with me! In addition to your family name, the first thing you need to learn as a child is how to understand centigrade. If you can't tell what temperature it is outside, or in your house, or in your body to tell if you're sick, you won't do so well with this living thing. So when you think back to the first things you learned in addition to your own family name, think centigrade!

Reading Explanation

This is a jukugo word that uses the on'yomi readings of the kanji. You should be able to read this on your own.
