Readings

カイ
Kun
あや(しい)

Examples

suspicious, monster, injury

Note

On-reading (カイ) is used in compounds; kun-reading (あや(しい)) is used standalone or with okurigana. Appears in many compounds — memorize the key ones rather than the kanji in isolation. Has multiple meanings (suspicious; mystery; monster). Context determines which applies — pay attention in reading passages. This kanji forms verbs/adjectives with okurigana. Practice both the word form and compound forms.
