Meaning

Primary

Eyeball

Word Type

noun

Explanation

What is an eye ball? Oh wait, that's easy. It's an eyeball!

Reading

めだま

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. 目玉, however, is an exception. Perhaps this is because it includes a body part (the eye) in it, which often makes a word switch to kun'yomi readings. Either way, it doesn't matter too much. Both the readings you learned for the kanji in this word are the kun'yomi, meaning you should know how to read this one. Just make sure you watch out for the rendaku.
