To Be Different
To Be Wrong, To Be Mistaken, To Vary, To Differ
intransitive verb, godan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means different so the verb vocab version is to be different... and of course, to be different is also to be wrong in Japan. Don't be different!
The reading is the same as the reading you learned with the kanji. It's not different at all.
