Meaning: Talk
When you say something with your tongue you’re obviously talking.
The logic of this one is almost too good, so don’t let that fool you!
Reading: わ
What (わ) are you talking about? You’re talking about walruses.
Or, if you’d like, you can come up with some other “wa” starting word to use to think about what you’re talking about. Just be sure to actually imagine yourself talking about that thing.
