Kun'yomi readings
Kun'yomi readings are one of the two main types of readings used in the Japanese writing system, the other being on'yomi readings.
Kun'yomi readings are native Japanese readings of kanji characters, meaning they are derived from the original Japanese language before the introduction of Chinese characters. These readings can vary depending on the context and the specific kanji being used.
Kun'yomi readings are often used when a kanji is used independently or at the beginning of a native Japanese word. They are also commonly used for grammatical particles, adverbs, and other function words in Japanese.
Here are some examples of kun'yomi readings:
1. 山 (yama) - mountain
2. 水 (mizu) - water
3. 林 (hayashi) - woods
4. 花 (hana) - flower
5. 道 (michi) - road
It is important to note that kanji characters can have multiple kun'yomi readings, depending on the word or phrase they are used in. This can sometimes lead to confusion for learners of the Japanese language.
