Food
noun
An eat thing (aka "a thing you eat") is food. Eat those things. Eat that food. Because it's a "thing" you know it's a noun. Interesting how this kanji can turn a verb like this into a noun, right? Look out for it because this pattern will show up with other verbs as well!
This word uses the kun'yomi readings for both kanji, but you know them both now, so you should be able to read this too!
安田さんは、食べ物をおねがいします。
Please bring some food, Ms. Yasuda.
これは本当に食べ物ですか？石みたいですが。
Is this really food? It looks like a stone.
食べ物を粗末にするとバチが当たりますよ。
When you waste food, heaven will punish you.
