How do you know which kun reading to use?
On-reading is usually used when the kanji is a part of a compound (two or more kanji characters are placed side by site). Kun-reading is used when the kanji is used on its own, either as a complete noun or as adjective stems and verb stems. This is not a hard and fast rule, but at least you can make a better guess.
Do I have to know onyomi and kunyomi?
Onyomi and Kunyomi are how you read a particular Kanji. The onyomi are based off Chinese pronunciations, and the kunyomi are the Japanese pronunciations. You need to learn both. And you need to use them both at the same time.
Do you need to know onyomi and kunyomi?
Japanese people use both onyomi and kunyomi readings all the time. It’s useful to know both of them because otherwise you will never be able to read the language fluently.
How can you tell onyomi and kunyomi?
The kunyomi is the Japanese reading of the kanji. The Onyomi is the Chinese reading of the kanji. When multiple kanji appear in the same word it’s typically read with the onyomi pronounciations, and typically when kanji appear as a single kanji in a word it’s read as kunyomi. However there are a lot of exceptions.
How to determine onyomi and kunyomi of each kanji?
Thank You. Frankly speaking, I do not think there is any simple way to determine onyomi and kunyomi of each kanji. As you know, 音読み (onyomi), which literally means “sound reading”, is the Chinese reading of kanji. 訓読み (kunyomi), on the other hand, is the Japanese reading of kanji.
What is the difference between 音読み (onyomi) and 訓読� (kunyomi)?

What is the difference between on’yomi and kun’yomis?
On’yomi 音読み: Readings derived from the Chinese pronunciations. Kun’yomi 訓読み: The original, indigenous Japanese readings. Notice how I said the on’yomi were derived from Chinese pronunciations? The Japanese didn’t bring over the Chinese pronunciation for kanji wholesale.
When to use kunyomi reading?
Kunyomi reading is generally used when a Kanji character appears with hiragana or when a Kanji stands alone. Following this rule, most verbs and adjectives will use Kunyomi. For example: 楽しい – “Tanoshi”, means “Fun”.
