春休み "haruyasumi" is "spring break" (more literally, "spring vacation"). When you're talking about the season, you might say 冬より春のほうが好きです。("fuyu yori haru no hou ga suki desu", I like spring more than winter). You only use the "shun" reading in compound words derived from Chinese.

I have heard of haru much more then shun... in fact i have never heard of shun... :eek:

I like how kuruma looks in kanji!

The only place I'd seen "shun" is in Sakura's attack names from Street Fighter. :P

春らい

spring thunder. :3 using shun

its the one they teach on japanese pod 101 lesson "spring into action"

*sits and watches conversation*

Didn't know that word. :P But as a compound word it does make sense that it would use the on'yomi.

explain compound ono

As in, multiple kanji stuck together to make one word without using any kana.

but that has kana in it oxo rai.. shunrai


is this game any good? oxo

It doesn't -- it's 春雷 and you just haven't learned the second character yet.

For the record: 雷 is かみなり / ライ and means "lightning".

i'm going by what the japanese lady said on the podcast xD

I think we all forgot about the game dk asked about...

~flail~ I'm soooo excited to go to Japaaan

"101"-type lessons frequently simplify things to avoid shoving too much at you at once.
