Practice Question

🎉 Explanation

English Explanation

The reading しょうけい (shōkei) is fully On'yomi, combining 承 (shō - to receive) and 継 (kei - to succeed). 承 (shō) should not be read as じょう, nor should 継 (kei) be confused with きゃく or けつ. It signifies the act of succession or inheritance, typically referring to taking over a position, business, or property.

日本語解説

承(ショウ)継(ケイ)のOn'yomiによる読みです。「承」をじょう、「継」をきゃくと誤読しないように注意しましょう。地位や権利、事業などを引き継ぐことを意味します。
