Meaning

Primary

Edge

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well. This refers to a literal edge, not a figurative one.

Reading

はし
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you to remember:

If you're on edge, just eat some hash (はし) browns to feel better! And if you're going to the edge of the world, hash browns will probably help you make it there too. Hash browns are so useful!
