Meaning

Primary

Crotch

Alternatives

Groin, Fork

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The kanji means crotch and the vocabulary also means crotch or groin.

Note that is a little less specific than 股間, and can also be used for a fork in a road or path, which makes sense when you think about it, doesn't it?

Reading

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

Explanation

You learned the on'yomi for this kanji, but like many kanji it takes the kun'yomi when used by itself. You haven't learned the kun'yomi yet, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

You've spilled something on your crotch again, but your pants are so stained at this point that it doesn't even matter (また).
