5 米 Rice

  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

Rice

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.

Note that this word refers to the grains of rice more than something that's a meal. If you're eating rice at a meal you'd call it ごはん. This is like when you're talking about the rice in the fields or rice grains or something like that.

Reading

こめ

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it should use the kun'yomi reading. When learning the kanji, you didn't learn that reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you with this word:

"Everyone, we have rice! Come (こめ) and get it!"

Context

Context Sentences

米をかうのをわすれてしまいました。

私の一番好きな朝ごはんは、生米と味噌汁です。

My favorite breakfast consists of uncooked rice and miso soup.
