For example, pronunciation of 7k in (ancient) Chinese was "sui". So sui became one way of reading 7k. In many cases, pronuncaton of Japanese onyomi and modern Chinese language are different. Because Japanese incorporated the pronunciation of ancient Chinese. In general, onyomi is indicated in Katakana in the dictionary. Kunyomi Kunyomi< lll? > is the pronunciation of Japanese word which has the same meaning as the Kanji symbol. For example, Kanji 7k means water. Japanese word for water was "mizu". So mizu became another way of reading 7k. In general, kunyomi is indicated in hiragana in the dictionary. How to learn the reading It is recommended to learn the reading of each word, rather than memorizing all onyomi and kunyomi of a Kanji. For example, you should know the following general rules: When A is after the country name, the reading is UA. When 4 is after numbers, it reads IZA. When 4 is by itself, it reads Oe.
