How to choose between 「いれる」 and 「はいれる」？


The questions is how to choose between 「いれる」 and 「はいれる」.

As far as I know, the same kanji is used for both (入れる). How can one make the
distinction when reading a text?




You say X **に** [入]{はい}れる, but X **を** [入]{い}れる.

The answer to these type of questions always seems to be the same, but you
need the context to decide on a reading for a particular 漢字. There are many
examples for when the reading of a 漢字 is dependent on the context, and the
word pair you quote is one of the easier ones to guess, because [入]{はい}れる is
an intransitive verb and [入]{い}れる is a transitive verb and there is a definite
answer and a definite way to find out (i.e. check whether the sentence has a
direct object marked with を and you know it has to be [入]{い}れる).
