Hey /jp/ I got a question.

So there are kun'yomi and on'yomi readings when you read stuff.
My question is: How do you write it in hiragana? All in japanese reading?
And when you talk with somebody, which ones do you use?
HELP /jp/

Sorry, too busy trying to find Waldo to read your post.

I don't quite understand your question, but single kanji are usually pronounced in kunyomi while combinations are in onyomi.

>>3710568

If I talk, how do I say phone for example?
Denwa would be onyomi but I'm not using kanjis when speaking, so how?

You use the one that's right. No, it's not always obvious, especially when it comes to names. Think of it like homonyms in English, only not really.

So I only say it the way I would write it?

>> No.3710646

Basically, pretend there are no such thing as kun and on readings except when it helps with memorization. Just learn a word, and remember its kanji. Eventually, you'll see patterns in how certain kanji are pronounced in different situations.

Some words with two or more kanji will use the on reading. Some won't. There are some exceptions though. Think of those exceptions like learning how to spell.

>> No.3710662

>>3710634
Yes, you would. 電話 is pronounced denwa, not denhanashi, that might be a bit confusing if you only learned the kunyomi.

>> No.3710671

Even adults have trouble with onyomi when they see unfamiliar/uncommon words.

>> No.3710673

memorize vocabulary, not individual kanji.

>> No.3710699

So If I got it correctly, I should study vocabulary, not individual kanjis, and I say it how I would write it? Thanks.
