Practice Question

🎉 Explanation

English Explanation

均衡 (きんこう) uses both characters with their On'yomi. 均 (キン) means 'even' or 'equal,' and 衡 (コウ) means 'balance' or 'weigh' (related to measuring). Incorrect readings like ごうこう or ちんこう mispronounce 均. It means 'balance or equilibrium,' a state where forces or elements are evenly distributed and in harmony.

日本語解説

均衡(きんこう)は両方とも音読みです。均(キン)は「等しい」、衡(コウ)は「はかり、つりあい」を意味します。ごうこうや、ちんこうは誤り。二つ以上の力が「つり合って安定している状態」のことです。
