Hey /jp/, can i take 2 minutes of your time?

Long story short, i'm begining to lear Japanese, and i'm making myself a Kanji notebok i can bring with me everywhere in order to constantly have a look at them.

So i understand the principles of On/Kun yomi, which is fairly easy, but i have a problem when it comes t osome lectures.

I'm going to take an exemple:

for that Kanji:

出

Lectures:

シュツ
*スイ
で
で・る

So 2 On Yomi lectures and 2 Kun Yomi, great.

For the lecture で・る, what does the dot between で and る is supposed to mean?

Do you have to make some kind of pause when you read?
Is this a way to tell that this Kanji is always being read で when followed by る?

I can't realy understand, please enlighten me!

The dot separates the kanji and the okurigana.

Yes, so it does not realy belong to the kanji, doest it?

It kind of does.

Start by learning grammar first.

Okay thanks, i try to balance between kanji/vocabulary and grammar, but i'm just starting so have not heard of Okurigana yet.

But i get it now.

Is it safe to say that for my exemple, whenever i read 出C it will ALWAYS be pronounced で・るC?(if 出 is followed by る, it will be lectured で, the okurigana る being the "lecture modifier?)

I have no idea what a "lecture modifier" is and I've been learning Japanese for 6 years. You should look at sentences rather than trying to memorize these readings in a vacuum.
