19 非常口 Emergency Exit

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

Meaning

Primary

Emergency Exit

Word Type

noun

Explanation

You know how 非常 means emergency and how 口 can be some kind of doorway (like in 入り口, for example)? Well, if that's the case, then you have an emergency doorway. Usually you run away from emergencies, though, making this an emergency exit.

Reading

ひじょうぐち

Explanation

The reading is the words 非常 and 口 combined together. The thing that makes this weird is that it's a mix of the kun and on'yomi readings. I guess things get all jostled up when you have yourself an emergency.

Context

Context Sentences

非常口はそこの通路を左に行ったところにあります。

You will see the emergency exit when you turn left at that corridor.
