PK STRONG
Although the onyomi for this is KO, it is STRONG FOR 'KI', - which is to say, most of the kanji using this as a radical have the onyomi of KI for some reason!

## Onyomi

KO |

## Mnemonic

| The sound of the word KO makes you think of kodomo(子), and 己 looks like a snake, so you could say: I myself, am a baby snake.

## Kunyomi

おのれ | myself- a very LITERARY way of saying 私 F ★★☆☆☆

## Jukugo

自己紹介(じこしょうかい) | introduce yourself to a group. ★★☆☆☆ 自己 (one's own) + 紹介 (introduce ) = 自己紹介 (introduce yourself to a group.)
自己(じこ) | one's own ★★☆☆☆ 自 (my own) + 己 (myself) = 自己 (one's own) One's own (as in, self-control, self-hate, self-help books, one's own discretion)
