| 高いみ/meaning: new くんよみ/Japanese reading: あたら-しい [atara-shii] オンヨミ/Chinese reading: シン [shin] かくすう/stroke count: 13 Example words: 新しい (あたら・しい) [atara・shii] new 新車 (しん・しゃ) [shin・sha] a new car 新聞 (しん・ぶん) [shin・bun] a newspaper 新年 (しん・ねん) [shin・nen] a new year Note: We're starting into some adjectives now. There are 2 types of adjectives: い type [i-type], and な type [na-type]. This affects conjugation. So when you see adjectives you will see the kanji and an ending in hiragana, either and い or な type ending that is used in conjugating the word. Thus, for "new" we have the kanji and a い type ending: 新しい. An example of a conjugated version would be 新しくない [atarashikunai], which means "not new". | |

The various Japanese readings are due to the odd changes in pronunciation with the verb. The other 2 irregular verbs are 行く (due to the irregular "-te" form) and する. There really aren't any other irregular verbs. It's not like some languages where half the verbs in the language are irregular. | |
