# Reading kanji
|
|
|
|
each character has two readings: japanese (onyomi) and chinese (kunyomi).
|
|
|
|
kanji that appear togeteher are usually read with onyomi
|
|
|
|
kanji by themselves are read with kunyomi
|
|
|
|
some chars can have more than one onyomi or kunyomi
|
|
|
|
kunyomi is also used in adjectives and verbs as well as stand alone chars. they often also have a string of kana (called okurigana) that come attached to it.
