ONYOMI: KYUU

One day I will re-unite with my CUTE former girlfriend.

DESCRIPTION: PREFIX meaning 'former.' It can be used with lots of different words, but unfortunately none of them are really super-handy. For example . . .

JUKUGO:

旧制 ( きゅうせい ): maiden name
旧 (former) + 制 (system) = 旧制 (maiden name)
復旧する ( ふっきゅうする ): to resume service
復 (return or re-do) + 旧 (former) = 復旧する (to resume service)
