To Indicate
To Show Something, To Demonstrate
transitive verb, godan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means indicate so the verb vocab version is to indicate or to show. This is used in contexts like "a study shows that learning Japanese is fun" and "I demonstrated my willingness to learn kanji".
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:
