- Question from the comments! "Why are There Different Ways to Read a Single Kanji Character?"
Japanese kanji characters have two different ways of reading them called “On-yomi (On-reading)” and “Kun-yomi(Kun-reading).” On-yomi is the way of reading that is derived from the original Chinese pronunciation, and Kun-yomi is the unique way of reading it in Japanese.
Generally, On-yomi is used when there are two or more Kanji characters combined together to make a word, and Kun-yomi is used when it’s independent or combined with Hiragana.
However, this is the “general” rule. Just like in any language, there are tons of exceptions. For example, combining the On-yomi and Kun-yomi together in one word, or two kanji characters put together but still use the Kun-yomi. In the end, you would have to properly study Japanese in order to fully understand the differences.
