🎉 Explanation

English Explanation

被害 (ひがい) means damage or harm. Both 否 (ひ, denial/harm) and 害 (がい, harm) are on'yomi. びがい misreads 否, which is ひ, often seen with the 手 radical on top. ひかい is incorrect as 害 is がい, not かい. ぴがい is a voiced sound error. It refers to suffering loss or injury due to an incident.

日本語解説

被害(ひがい)は「否(ひ)」と「害(がい)」の組み合わせで、両方とも音読みです。「否」を「び」と読んだり、「害」を「かい」と読むのは間違いです。事故や事件によって損失や損害を被ることを指します。
