Meaning: Soup
Ten tsunamis is a lot… but that’s how many you needed to make the most giant soup ever made. You filled a pot the size of Tokyo with tsunamis after causing them artificially… and now you’re going to break the world record for soup size.
Imagine ten tsunamis coming in and filling up your pot. Count them out as the come in, each filling approximately 1/10th of your pot. That’s a really, really big pot of soup you’re making.
Reading: n/i
The on’yomi reading isn’t important enough to learn – so, you’ll learn the kun’yomi one in the vocab.
Vocabulary
a 汁（しる）＝ Soup Suffix
- Meaning: Same as the kanji. If you have a soup, you can add this to the name of the soup. For example, Miso Soup, the oh-so-famous Japanese soup, is みそ汁.
- Reading: The reading is the kun’yomi reading. Think of using soup to seal (しる) your leaky windows. Doesn’t make sense, and also doesn’t work, at all, getting things really messy.
