Whisper In Ear
Whisper In One's Ear
noun, verbal noun
You feel your ear getting… hit? This is the feeling of a whisper in your ear; perhaps a secret, or some other confidential tidbit of information. Whatever it is it has impact, which is why it feels like a hit!
Note that this word is more often used in writing than in casual speech.
This word uses the kun'yomi readings for both kanji, but you know them both now, so you should be able to read this too!
