Meaning

Primary

Animal Cry

Alternatives

Animal Sound, Animal Noise, Chirp, Tweet, Roar, Bark, Meow

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The chirp voice is a sound an animal makes. Sure, it works for birds (which chirp), but it also works with most other animals as well. So, we call this an animal cry.

Reading

なきごえ

Explanation

The readings are those that you learned with the kanji. 声 gets changed to ごえ, though, so take note of that in your head. Perhaps you can imagine an animal that does a "GOEEEEE" cry.
