Memory Hook

Imagine a house with a 'yane' (やね) roof that protects you from rain. 'Yane' sounds like 'yawn' — you yawn under the roof when you're cozy at home!

Cultural Note

In Japan, traditional houses often have 『屋根』 (yane, 'roof') made of tiles or thatch, which are designed to withstand heavy rain and snow. Modern buildings also use this term for any roof structure.
