🎉 Explanation

English Explanation

The correct reading is じふ (jifu). 自 (ji) and 負 (fu) are both on'yomi readings, common in compounds meaning 'self-confidence.' Incorrect readings like じほ (jiho), じぶ (jibu), and じふく (jifuku) are misreadings of 負. It means 'pride,' 'confidence,' or 'self-esteem,' signifying a strong belief in one's own abilities or achievements.

日本語解説

正しい読みは「じふ」です。自も負も音読みで、熟語として一般的に使われる読み方です。「じほ」「じぶ」「じふく」はいずれも負の読み間違いです。意味は「自信」「自負心」「誇り」で、自分の能力や成し遂げたことに対して持つ、確固たる自信や誇らしい気持ちを指します。
