Meaning

Primary

To Injure Something

Alternatives

To Hurt Something, To Hurt Someone

Word Type

transitive verb, ichidan 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 pain, and this verb is transitive, so it means to inflict pain. In other words, it's to injure something or to hurt someone.

This verb focusses on the pain involved in an injury, so it can only be used for things that feel pain, like people and body parts.

Reading

いためる

Explanation

Since this word has okurigana (hiragana attached to the kanji) you know that it's probably going to be the kun'yomi reading. You learned that reading with the word 痛い.
