Reading

Reading help

The Japanese language has three different alphabets:

Kanji: Ideographic alphabet of Chinese origin. Every character represents an idea or concept.
Hiragana: Phonetic alphabet used mostly in combination with kanji.
Katakana: Phonetic alphabet used to represent foreign words, places, onomatopoeias, etc.

If the word is represented in kanji, the reading section shows how this word is read.

Words having multiple readings will be ordered by popularity.

Furigana

Furigana are the smaller kana characters, printed over the kanji to indicate their pronunciation. If the word has one or more kanji characters, its furigana will be written on top of them.

Transliteration and pitch accent

There is also the transliteration written in kana (hiragana or katakana) and romaji (using the Hepburn method).

The transliteration can also contain the pitch accent representation for the pronunciation of this word. In some cases, the same word may have different pitch accents, and sometimes the pitch accent depends on the part of speech of the word. If that's the case, it will be represented beside it.

Audio

Words indicated by the symbol have computer-generated audio that can be listened to by clicking on it.
