53 西瓜 Watermelon

  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

Watermelon

Word Type

noun

Explanation

Melons that grow in the west are round and striped and green and wait a second. That's a watermelon. I guess they come from the western part of Japan.

Reading

すいか

Explanation

The reading for 西 here is an exception. Here's a mnemonic to help you remember it:

Watermelons taste best after you swing (すい) them around. Whether you tie a rope to them or swing them on an actual swing, it mixes up the yummy watermelon insides and they end up tasting the best this way. So always remember to swing your watermelon before you crack it open.

Context

Context Sentences

夏といえば西瓜ですよね。

When it comes to summer, watermelon's the first thing that comes to mind.
