Meaning

Primary

Villager

Word Type

noun

Explanation

You have a village person. That isn't someone dancing while wearing construction worker clothes, that's a villager.

Reading

むらびと
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

This word uses double kun'yomi for its reading, probably because it's like two separate words (village and person) put together into one big word. You should know these two kun'yomi readings (it's the main reading for that you learned and you should know by now), though you will need to look out for the rendaku'd びと reading.
