Meaning

Primary

Chinese Reading

Alternative

On'yomi

Word Type

noun, する verb

Explanation

The sound reading. What could this be...? Wait a sec, think to Japanese and kanji. What's the reading that uses sounds from another place, specifically China? That's the Chinese reading, aka the on'yomi. Sounds familiar?

Reading

おんよみ

Explanation

The reading for 音 is the 音読み. 読み uses the kun'yomi, though, strangely. Way to mess up the one word that should be all on'yomi, Japan. Way. To. Go.

Context

Context Sentences

この漢字の音読みって何だっけ?

What was the on'yomi for this kanji again?

初めて見た地名はふ通は音読みしちゃうよね。

We usually read place names that we see for the first time with on'yomi.

日本語の音読みと訓読みの違いは何ですか?

What’s the difference between the Chinese reading and the Japanese reading in the Japanese language?
