伯父

おじ

flat (heiban)

How to read it: a line over a kana means the voice is high there, and ↓ marks where it drops. A kana with no line is low. With no ↓ the pitch stays high to the end and does not drop even on a following particle (が, は).

(humble) uncle (older than one's parent)

JLPT N2Commonnoun (common) (futsuumeishi)
