Meaning

Primary

Blue Sky

Word Type

noun

Explanation

Reading

あおぞら
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

You'd think that this word would use on'yomi readings to read it, but it doesn't (shake that angry fist at the kanji gods!). Instead, it's double kun'yomi, probably because this word is really like two separate words put together, "blue" and "sky." In the previous level you unlocked these two separate words, learning their readings. That means you should be able to read this as well.

One quick note is the rendaku-fication of as well. It becomes ぞら.
