Reading

あやまり
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

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:

When you make a mistake, you need to admit to it. When someone asks, "Who's responsible for this mistake?" You say, "I am (あやま)."
