Examples

Note

On-reading (トウ) is used in compounds; kun-reading (す(く)) is used standalone or with okurigana. Appears in many compounds — memorize the key ones rather than the kanji in isolation. Has multiple meanings (transparent; penetrate; see through. Transparency (透明)). Context determines which applies — pay attention in reading passages. This kanji forms verbs/adjectives with okurigana. Practice both the word form and compound forms.
