  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

To Earn Income

Alternative

To Make Money

Word Type

intransitive verb, godan verb

Explanation

Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means earnings and the verb vocab version is to earn income, because you can't "to income" something. Can also be to make money.

Reading

かせぐ

Explanation

You earn your income, and every time you're paid, you're given your money in a briefcase (かせ). Imagine getting your income from a briefcase, opening it up, and grabbing the money from within. Then, you have to give the briefcase back at the specified dropoff.

Context

Context Sentences
