Ume
Japanese Plum
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
The reading is the same as what you learned with the kanji. It's also the same as the meaning of the kanji / vocab, though you can think of this as Japanese plum as well if you want.
私は梅の花が大好きです。
I love Japanese plum blossoms.
この時期には、毎年庭で取れた梅で、梅ジャムを作るんです。
Every year around this time, I make plum jam from the plums harvested from our garden.
「こんなにたくさんの梅の実、どうしたの？」「今日、梅園に行ってきたんだよ。」
"Where did you get this many ume?" "I visited an ume orchard today."
