🎉 Explanation

English Explanation

The correct reading きんあつ uses the standard On'yomi for both kanji: 禁 (キン) for prohibition and 圧 (アツ) for pressure. Misreadings like きんさつ mistake 圧 for 察. It refers to the forceful suppression or prohibition of activities, speech, or thought, often by authority.

日本語解説

正しい読みは「きんあつ」で、両方とも音読みです。「禁」は禁止、「圧」は圧力を意味します。誤読の「きんさつ」は「圧」を「察」と間違えるケース。「きんあつ」は、権力によって活動などを強く抑えつけることを指します。
