Meaning: Right
The Narwhal mouths. These are a group of people who speak on behalf of the narwhals. Strangely, though, in terms of political party, it’s the right that’s representing these majestic animals.
The right are protesting gun rights and lower taxes for narwhals. Make sure you think it’s strange that the right would even ask for these things for narwhals, let alone try to represent the narwhals… something’s fishy here.
Reading: n/i
No on’yomi reading for this one (at least no important one). Let’s skip it for now and move on to the vocab.
Vocabulary
Try to learn the meaning of this word before moving on (and the reading too, if you can).
a 右（みぎ）＝ Right (Direction)
- Meaning: Same as the kanji.
- Reading: Same as the kanji.
a 右手（みぎて）＝ Right Hand
- Combo: 右 (right) + 手 (hand)
- Meaning: Should be pretty self explanatory.
- Reading: The reading is the two kun’yomi readings put together. Remember how 手 likes to use the kun’yomi reading, even when it’s a part of a combo kanji? 右 does that too.
