## Onyomi

SUI | the SWEET ice cream cone dripped on to my hand.

## Mnemonic

| 垂 ALSO looks like car (車) but the horizontal lines poke out, and the verticals do NOT poke out. So we can say . . . "The new car's paint job dripped off the sides, creating a mess." LO...!

## Kunyomi

( を ) た＊らす | I dangle it. 1/2 KANA ★☆☆☆☆
( が ) た＊れる | it drips, dangles. Also used as the action verb for piss, shit, fart. Seriously, even fart. A fun curse to use when frustrated is is ウンコ垂れ！(literally, "Dangling turd!") 1/2 KANA ★★☆☆☆

## Jukugo

垂直(すいちょく) に | vertical, but also means perpendicular. ☆☆☆☆☆ 垂 (drip, dangle) + 直 (correct a probem / direct contact) = 垂直 (vertical, but also means perpendicular.)
