And while we're on that track, how can I tell when to use きる, くる, and こ? All from the 来 kanji.
Must use with the rest of the kanji/kana in the sentence to determine the correct pronunciation.
- I found jisho.org to be very helpful.
- on/kun readings.
（Kun） reading is used when the kanji alone is used. But if you were to see a bunch of kanji's put together such as a compound like 最善、uses the ONYOMI reading. If the word is- If it is the (KUN) reading, then it would look like this such as 皆さん、the kanji 皆 means everyone in which the (KUN) reading is みな。So, it is chinese or (ON) when the kanji's are used in a compound structure or combined with other kanji's and (KUN) when it is used alone as in okurigama.
- Ah, okay. That helps a lot, thanks.
