hey my japanese friends asking a srs question here: why the hell does 下 have the on readings of か, げ and kun readings of した, さが, くだ, お, but when it's put into a word like this 下げる it suddenly fucking is さ? How the hell am i supposed to memorize and know that for every word? and in 下手 it's suddenly へ??? How does your writing system even work??? wtf? explain
trying to use wanikani.com to learn this shit, and the pronounciation just has literally no rhyme or reason... wtf

Our kanji is to show what a word means not its pronunciation.
Logan Long
then how do i figure out the pronounciation you're saying i have to learn 2500+ kanji and the 2-10 pronouciations of each character?
by the time you learn online translators will be good enough

乙 さすがポルちゃん 素敵な画像だ さげる means you lower the degree of something. For example, スイッチを入れて温度をさげる means Turning on the switch to lower the temperature. 頭をさげる means you lower the height of your head. (or just bending down). くだる means you move in order to lower your height. For example, 山をくだる means going down a mountain. おりる is almost the same as くだる。 But おりる also has several other meanings such as getting off a vehicle, etc.
The On readings of 下 correspond the pronunciation in two Chinese dynasties, Han dynasty and Wu dynasty. KA is in the former, GE is in the latter. The Kun readings support three nouns and seven verbs. した しも もと
We can distinguish each pronunciation by contexts and 送り仮名 declensional kana endings. For example, only when we use that word as conjugations of 下がる, the transitive verb, and 下げる, the intransitive verb, we can pronounce this SA.
畳ペッドというのもあるんだぜ >数々の流行が次々と現れては疾走し、あげく暴走したまま消滅するという現代の若者の中で、退屈なまでに学生という形を維持し続けた貴重品だ。 いかにも、ラノベの文体だね。 In current youths who have various fashions which appear in sequence and become extinct with running at full speed with driving recklessly, he is the valuables that stubbornly continued maintaining the form called the student. 「したまま」というのは現在または過去の進行形だよ。近接未来は「しつつある」。
