To Cross
To Cross Over, To Go Across
intransitive verb, godan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means transit, but when you think about "to transit" this doesn't make too much sense. When you "transit" something, though, you're going across it. That's why this word is to cross or to cross over.
The reading is the same as the one you learned with the kanji.
橋を渡り終わったところで、右に曲がって下さい。
After crossing the bridge, please turn right.
