Common readings
On
On readings
On (音) readings are based on the original Chinese pronunciation of a kanji. They are
typically used when a kanji appears as part of a jukugo (kanji compound).
For example, in 日本,
日 is read as に, one of the on readings.
Unfortunately that feature is not accessible here. Please contact support if you have any questions.
セツ ゼイ
Kun
Kun readings
Kun (訓) readings are uniquely Japanese. They are typically used when a kanji is used
singly as part of a Japanese conjugated verb.
For example, 行く is read as いく (to go).
In this case, the く of 行く is known as 'okurigana'.
In Kanshudo, okurigana are differentiated
using a dark gray color (versus black for the characters that represent the reading of the
kanji itself).
