Japanese Kanji


Foreigners sometimes criticize the ambiguity of Japanese language, but I think Japanese language has interesting aspects.

One is Kanji. Do you know it? It is originated from Chinese.

I’ll show you one of Kanji’s interesting things. Most one Kanji character is comprised of two meanings. For example, “” equal to “work”. Then, ” is divided into “” and “”. ” means “people” and ” means “move or act.”

Yes, working is that people move or act.

Like the above example, Japanese language enables us to express a luxuriant language activity.
