及 reach / amount to

ONYOMI: KYUU

I never thought you'd amount to the CUTEst boy in school. (but then you bought Ray Bans and started pegging your acid-washed jeans)

Let's think of the extra line as a dreadlock.

So we can now say . .

The grasping hand reaches to grab a dreadlock.

Actually, that was not helpful.

KUNYOMI:

( を ) およ＊ぶ

influence the outcome or have an effect on. （ｕｓｕａｌｌｙ　ｂａｄ, as in alcohol influencing judgement, or 'what impact does this have on society?'）

- zero stars! -

( が ) およ＊ぼす

reach to, but not like reaching your hands to the cookie jar. Reach like, "His research extends from physics to theology" or "Her criminal empire reaches from gambling to union shakedowns."

( ｘｘｘ ) およ＊び ( ｙｙｙ )

xxx as well as yyy (F)
