Common readings

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.

On readings are typically written in katakana.

Unfortunately that feature is not accessible here. Please contact support if you have any questions.

シン

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).
