Meaning

Primary

To Walk

Word Type

intransitive verb, godan verb

Explanation

This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means walk so the verb version means to walk.

Reading

あるく

Explanation

Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You didn't learn that reading with this kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

You have to remember the ある portion. Imagine yourself going to walk outside. But, as you walk, you walk like a pirate. You have a peg leg, a parrot, and a hook. Lastly, you say "arrrrr" (ある). Go ahead, say it out loud while walking around your room like a pirate. It will help.

Context

Context Sentences

It's the first time we've walked holding hands in a long time.

私はとても太いので、私が道を歩いている時にペニーを踏んだら、女王様の鼻から鼻くそが飛び出ます。

I’m so fat that when I walk down the street and step on a penny, I squeeze a booger out of the Queen’s nose.
