Word Type

transitive verb, ichidan verb

Explanation

Remember how 載る is "to be placed on"? This one is to place on something, like a mug on a table. 載せる is transitive, and you know this because you do it yourself (せる). Like 載る, 載せる also often refers to putting something in a written document or publication, so it can mean to put on record.

Note that 載せる is never used to refer to putting clothing or accessories on. That's 着る or 着ける respectively, which you've learned already.

Reading

のせる
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

The reading is shared with 載る, so as long as you remember that you can remember this.
