「彫る」の読み方は「ほる」です。物の表面に文字や模様を刻むことを表します。
to carve
Explanation:
The verb “彫る” (ほる) means “to engrave” or “to carve.” In the context of the sentence, “指輪に人の名前を彫った” means “I engraved a person’s name on the ring.” The correct reading of “彫る” in this context is “ほる,” which is conjugated to “ほった” in the past tense.
- きざんだ: This is the past tense of “刻む” (きざむ), which means “to carve” or “to engrave,” but it is not the correct reading for “彫る.”
- けずった: This is the past tense of “削る” (けずる), which means “to shave” or “to scrape.”
- ほった: This is the correct past tense form of “彫る” (ほる), meaning “to engrave” or “to carve.”
- えんぐれーぶした: This is a katakana representation of “engraved,” but it is not the correct Japanese verb form for this context.
