1755. Which one of these is the odd one out and what's the big deal about it? 洋 差 奥 胆 生


Answer:

洋  YOU - ocean, foreign, western

差  SA, sa(su) - difference, hold (umbrella), thrust

奥  OU, oku(ru) - interior

胆  TAN - gallbladder, courage

生  SEI, nama - live, raw, alive

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

大洋  TAIYOU - ocean

大差  TAISA - a large difference

大奥  oooku - the female residence in a Japanese castle

大胆  DAITAN - bold, brave

大生  DAISEI - University student
