1393. Which one of these is the odd one out and what's the big deal about it? 賞 勝 艦 拡 昔


Answer:

賞  SHOU - prize, praise

勝  SHOU, ka(tsu), masa(ru) - win, be superior

艦  KAN - warship

拡  KAKU - extend, expand

昔  SEKI, SHAKU, mukashi - antiquity, long ago

All take 大 (DAI, oo(kii) - big) in front to make a word, but only 昔 uses the "Oo" reading (OoMukashi); the others are all "Tai/Dai": 

大賞  TAISHO - Big prize, Grand Prix

大勝  TAISHO - Great victory

大艦  TAIKAN - Large ship. battleship

拡大  KAKUDAI - Enlargement

大昔  OOMUKASHI - A long time ago
