a lot of textbooks and flashcards write down 2 onyomis or even 3 onyomis per kanji! but usually the kanji in question uses onyomi #1 90% of the time, and only uses onyomi #2 with one specific jukugo.
we don't play that. we'll only list the top 1 onyomi, and if a jukugo has a strange, exceptional pronunciation, we'll warn you.

ILL PAIR: this is an example of japanese kanjis where - as if 1,000 synonyms aren't bad enough - they seem to have changed the APPEARANCES as well, so the kanjis look as similar as the meanings are.

na keyoshis have na written but you don't always say it. if you for instance just say kirei! and hta's your whole sentance.
FP don't neccesairly mean that the kanji you're studying now is pronounced wrong - it could be the other kanji.
we gotta switch the keywords for excess an surplus!!!!!
we gotta swap out ken lay for kenny.
Dictionaries give you TOO MUCH information: look up ‘reciept,’
and you’ll see:
Uketori 受け取り、ryoushuu,領収、ryoushuushuu,領収証、 juryoushou, 受領書 AND

the onyomi is used as a prefix when counting objects, with some exceptions. the kunyomi is used as an integer, rather than a prefix: in other words, if you're doing math, or counting time: hours, months, days of the month (after 10, and except for 20; don't even ask why), you'll be using kunyomi.
also, mostly japanese people use Arabic numerals instead of kanji nowadays. I figured i'd include the kanji numbers anyway because 1) you need'em as radicals, to make more complex, useful kanjis, and 2) the pronunciations of numbers are so fucked and hard, I would be abandoning you like a child in a burning house if i didn't at least try to break it down.
