To Come Out
To Fall Out
intransitive verb, ichidan verb
Remember how 抜く means "to pull something out"? 抜ける describes something coming out of where it was, so it means to come out or to fall out.
This can be used for air coming out of a balloon, hair falling out, or pages missing from a book. It also means passing through places or leaving a group you were a part of.
To distinguish this word from 抜く, imagine a bunch of kale (ける) coming out of the ground on its own! Nobody pulled it out, it just came out by itself.
The reading is the same as what you learned with the kanji. Also, it is the same as 抜く.
