牛車

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 牛車, read ぎっしゃ, combines ox 牛 with cart 車 as the name of a means of transport.
• Basic usage: It denotes an ox-drawn cart, as in 牛車に乗る, and is read ぎっしゃ.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Tone and register
  • The reading is not formed by simply joining an ordinary reading of 牛 with the next character, so learn the whole-word reading ぎっしゃ.
