290. Which one of these is the odd one out and what's the big deal about it? 体 空 切 国 仏


Answer:

体  TAI, TEI, karada - body

空  KUU, sora, kara, akeru - sky, empty

切  SETSU, ki(ru), ki(reru) - cut

国  KOKU, kuni - country

仏  BUTSU, hotoke - Buddha

All take 大 (DAI, oo(kii) - big) in front to make a word, but only 空 uses the "Oo" reading 

(Oo-sora); the others are all "Tai/Dai-": 

大体 Daitai 大空 Oosora 大切 Taisetsu 大国 Daikoku 大仏 Daibutsu
