Hello all, I have recently been learning Kanji from this book:
Amazon.com: Basic Kanji Book, Vol. 1: Chieko Kano, Hiroko Takenaka, Eriko Ishii, Yuri Shimizu: Books
I have a question about the Kanji readings. For example, you have 日, and the kunyomi reading is ひ while the onyomi reading is ニチ. How do I know which one to use? I get confused about this because in the book it has:
門, with the kunyomi reading as かど and the onyomi reading as モン. In the two examples it gives me, it has this:
門（もん） a gate
専門（せん・もん） a specialty
In both of those cases, it is using the onyomi reading. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
I am not sure how to know which one to use.
