12 登る To Climb

  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

To Climb

Alternative

To Ascend

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 climb so the verb vocab version would be to climb (or to ascend), if that's the kind of thing you're into.

Reading

のぼる

Explanation

Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. This has the same reading as 上る which you learned all that time ago in Level 1. If you can remember that, you can remember this one!

Context

Context Sentences
