| on’yomi | kun’yomi | Radicals |
|---|---|---|
| n/i | した | 舌 |
Meaning: Tongue
The tongue radical and the tongue are exactly the same. How lucky for you!
Just know the radicals well and you’ll know the kanji well!
Reading: n/i
The on’yomi reading isn’t very useful (body parts love their kun’yomi). So, we’ll be learning the kun’yomi instead.
Vocabulary
a 舌（した）＝ Tongue
- Meaning: Same as the kanji.
- Reading: There’s only one word that goes with this kanji, and it’s the word for tongue. Perhaps you can remember this one’s reading by thinking about the tongue and what’s hidden below it (下… as in した). What’s below it? Well, that’s for you to decide. Make sure to make it scary / weird, though. Also make sure you remember the word 下!
