English Explanation

説諭 (せつゆ) uses the standard On'yomi readings: 説 (せつ, explain) and 諭 (ゆ, instruct/persuade). It means persuasion or exhortation, often implying a gentle but firm instruction or moral guidance given to someone to correct their behavior or way of thinking. Misreadings like ぜつゆ incorrectly apply rendaku to 説, and せつゆう or せつう incorrectly read 諭.
