Is there a term for being able to understand a Kanji meaning, but unable to pronounce it?


Is there a term for being able to understand a Kanji meaning, but unable to
pronounce it in Japanese?




I believe there is no single-word term for this. There is a word 難読語【なんどくご】
that means "hard-to-read word", but it doesn't mean "being able to understand
its meaning". You can say something like 意味は分かるけど読めない. (Even native speakers
encounter such examples often!)
