10 起きる To Wake Up

  • Go to
  • Meaning
  • Reading
  • Context
  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

To Wake Up

Alternatives

To Get Up, To Occur

Word Type

intransitive verb, ichidan 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 wake up so the verb vocab version is to wake up or to get up.

This word also has a secondary meaning of to occur. Think of it this way: when an action "wakes up", in a way it is occurring as well.

Reading

おきる

Explanation

The reading is the same as the one you learned with the kanji, so tomorrow when you wake up you hopefully won't have to relearn this vocab's reading.
