To Sleep
To Lie Down, To Go To Bed
intransitive verb, ichidan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means sleep or lie down, so the verb vocab version is to sleep or to lie down—just like what you do when you decide to go to bed.
The reading is the same as the reading you learned with the kanji. So, you can go ahead and lie down for a moment before moving on to the next item.
よし、そろそろ寝るね〜。おやすみ〜。また明日〜。
Alright, I’m gonna go to bed. Sleep well. See you in the morning.
