Remember usually  words with kanji attached to kana (Okuri-gana) are kunyomi and compound kanji (side by side Kanji) are onyomi

But that isn't always the case. There's quite a few words that have an onyomi-kunyomi kanji combination, or vice versa.

Hi Everyone
Lets Learn Kanji Every Tuesday!

╩╩╩╩╩╩╩╩╩╩╩╩╩╩╩╩
Kanji (漢字) are Chinese characters imported from China. Some of the kanji characters have been modified to fit the Japanese language, while some of them are totally new characters created by the Japanese.

Kanji have basically two types of reading, 

① ONYOMI (音読み) and 
② KUNYOMI (訓読み)

Onyomi is the Chinese reading of kanji, while kunyomi is the Japanese reading of kanji. Some kanji have both onyomi and kunyomi. For example, in the word 山  which means mountain, the onyomi is san and the kunyomi is yama.
However some kanji have only onyomi. For example, the word 秒 which means second (second as in hour, minute, second), has only onyomi byou

At a glance, Kanji can be fretful but with the help of plentiful reading exercises you'll be able to figure out how Kanji are pronounced based on the meaning that it implies .

You can think Kanji as pieces of puzzles that make sense when put together in a sentence. Lets have fun while solving these puzzle together in our next session! Open / Comment
