13 着く To Arrive

  • Go to
  • Meaning

  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

To Arrive

Word Type

godan verb

Explanation

This word is tough, because there's another word in this level (着る) that means "to wear" that is so similar. This word, however, means to arrive. You should have seen that meaning with the kanji 着 as well, so I hope that helps. To differentiate between this and 着る, though, zoom in on the く. You want to be cool (く) so you arrive to the party late.

Reading

つく

Explanation

This uses a different kun'yomi reading than the one you just learned (sorry). To help you, think about this:

You wanted to arrive on time but you showed up late. How late were you? Two (つ) hours and two minutes late, to be exact.

Context

Context Sentences

今、成田空港に着きました。

Let me know when you figure out what time you will arrive.

電車が時間通りに着かなかったんです。

The train didn’t arrive on time.
