To Be Born
intransitive verb, ichidan verb
Since this is a kanji with hiragana attached that ends with an う sound, you know that this word is a verb. What's the ultimate verb version of the kanji 生? That would be to be born, the very beginning of life as we know it!
うまれる
You have to remember the う part of this word to read it. To remember that, let's use a mnemonic:
Just imagine someone being born. All they do is scream: UUUUUuuUuuUUUuuuUUUuu (う) the whole time. Go ahead and imagine yourself being born and doing the same thing. Say UUUuuUUuuu out loud to help you to remember.
