一いっ点てん読よみ

noun

predicting another player's winning tile or yaku

Mahjong term: a player's read or prediction of what tile or yaku an opponent needs to win. Often used when a player avoids discarding a tile because they suspect it would complete an opponent's hand.

  His read on the opponent's winning tile was sharp, so he held back the dangerous tile.
