To Excel
To Surpass
intransitive verb, ichidan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means excel so the verb vocab version is to excel.
Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You didn't learn that reading with this kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you:
"He-e (ひい) is going to excel," you stutter. "He-e is!"
