6 行う To Carry Something Out

  • Go to
  • Meaning
  • Reading
  • Context
  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

To Carry Something Out

Alternative

To Perform Something

Word Type

transitive verb, godan verb

Explanation

The meaning of this word is pretty strange, having very little to do with the kanji meaning you learned. This word means to carry something out. Maybe you can think of it like someone is saying "You (う) go do that task!" to get yourself to carry something out that task. Whatever you do, just know this is a weird exception word, so you may have to do some extra work to remember it.

Reading

おこなう

Explanation

The reading is also a strange exception. You have to remember the おこな portion. Maybe this mnemonic will help: You have to carry out a task but you're not too excited about it. Then you find out the task will bring you to Kona, Hawaii. "Oh, Kona!?" (おこな), you shout. In that case, you'll get right on it.
