10 求める To Want Something

  • Go to
  • Meaning

  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

To Want Something

Alternatives

To Request Something, To Demand Something

Word Type

transitive verb, ichidan verb

Explanation

What's the verb form of request? It's to request. It also is for when you want something (to want something), because if you're going to request something, you probably want it.

Reading

もとめる

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: What is it that you want? You want a moat (もと) around your home. Your neighbor's cats keep pooping on your lawn, but if you had a moat they wouldn't be able to get to your lawn in the first place, since cats hate water (and alligators). You request a moat!
