Reading

ちえ
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. You didn't learn 's on'yomi when you learned the kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

Your wisdom tells you people should eat cheese () on a regular basis. Yes, in your infinite wisdom, you know that a calcium-rich food like cheese is just what humanity needs. It is your duty, O wise one, to share this wisdom with others. Go forth! Spread the wisdom of cheese consumption with all mankind!
