Meaning

Primary

Star

Word Type

noun

Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.

Reading

ほし

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

A star is just a whole sheep (ほし) floating in the sky. If it wasn't a whole sheep, it wouldn't shine so brightly and you wouldn't be able to see it from Earth. Don't let anyone tell you stars are made of gas. The whole thing is sheep, okay?

Context

Context Sentences

I hope we can see a lot of shooting stars tonight.

お父さん、どうして今日は星型のメガネをかけているの?

Dad, why are you wearing star-shaped glasses today?
