Limited Express Train
Limited Express
noun
Something that's special and in a hurry must be special indeed. This refers to limited express trains in Japan. They go fast, they stop at fewer stops (because they're special!) and they hurry. Look out for these if you want to get somewhere in a jiffy.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well. Just note that the とく goes to とっ.
