Does anyone notice a pattern when learning Kanji? The answer's probably obvious. By that I mean some of you probably do.
I notice a pattern in the on-readings while I was learning Kanji like:
- 各 KAKU
- 客 KYAKU
- 落 RAKU
- 略 RYAKU
We're able to guess the on-reading by using the radicals. But how do you get a grass and water radical to change the k to an r? What about the kun-reading? How are you supposed to guess it at first when you encounter a Kanji you've never seen before? I'd like someone with a lot of knowledge to explain this for me. Thanks.
