    I always think of no-one but myself, so the beauty of 私 is indescribable.

    Only Joking, but my favourite kanji is 大麻(たいま)
    Joking again

    My apreciation

    My favorite kanji is AME, or rain. It reminds all of the kanji for heaven, but it also includes the obvious droplets of rain. <sigh!> makes you wish you were in a flurry of Sakurayuki right about now.
    INSIDE JOKE:

    Yesterday I went by Professor Fuyutsuki's house to give her her deathwater...:

    HINT:What does it mean to give someone their deathwater?

    Raku Ramen, sounds like a type of noodles or something.

    忍術 - ninjutsu, the ninja discipline.

    Hello again.
    Did anyone of you ever take a Kanji Kentei test? I took the 5kyuu test in February. 5kyuu involves the 1006 kanji of elementary school, so I think I made it. Gotta start studying for 4kyuu now..

    Fun test.

    Learning for Level 1 test is fun & taking a while...

    I like the Radical Count method... I have a sincere appreciation for origin & use of all strokes!

    「楽ラメン」 could that translate to easy ramen? ahaha
    Wow, i was looking through a japanese-english dictionary and the kanji for mist just looked ridiculous.


     

    and in my japanese textbook it says that 「竜」 was shortened from 「龍」 which then was tripled and placed like 「口 ⇒ 品」 made dragons flying.


    漢字の観賞が。。。
    Even if kanji drive people crazy in trying to learn and remember, they add so much to the japanese language in an aesthetic sense in my opinion.

    Not as ridiculous as (たか = a Hawk) or 麒麟 (きりん = a Giraffe or the mythical creature that you see on the label on a KIRIN BEER bottle).

    雨 + 務 ((霧、務 (duty, work, fill a position) each have one reading of む so I'm assuming the borrowing was phonetic and maybe related to an archaic meaning.) Just memorize the darn thing. It isn't worth the effort of piling on another layer of information to try and remember the first one by.

    A couple of my favorite kanji...
     [ちょう、こ(える)] (exceed, super)
     [け(す)、き(える)] (erase)

    Also, 必, because I use so many words that have it. 必勝、必殺、必要、必死、など。

    Yeah, I know, but it's fun to find a complicated kanji, even though Iwould never actually use it in real life...

    (...ちゅうちゅ したんですが)
    ハハハ

    私も躊躇しました。

    「ちゅうちゅ」は本当は「ちゅうちょ」と読むよと書く べきか、書かないべきか・・・

    lol

    I also hesitated.

    Should I write that "chuuchu" is actually read "chuucho" or shouldn't I....
