I'm not. :P

Unless it is a language other than Japanese, English, or German.

In which case I probably translate it.

I see.

Just out of curiosity, is there any specific moderator who moderates this subforum more often than the others do, or is it basically all of them equally on every subforum? I've seen Moog in here, too.

My hovercraft is full of eels. Really basic, aside from the kanji after "ha"; I had to look up the hiragana for that one.

No, Korean sucks.

Yeah, it wasn't meant to be difficult. :P Have you heard of Rikaichan? I'm sure you'd find it useful; look it up.

I like Korea a lot more than Japan, I like the sound more, and the grammar. Just my opinion. ;) I studied Korean for several months last year, and to me it's a lot easier than Japanese, grammar-wise.

And hangeul is much easier for me than kanji. I could never learn all the jōyō kanji. 8O Korean does use hanja, but only in historical documents and newspapers in South Korea, They were outlawed in North Korea, and are slowly dying in use in South Korea.

We all look at everything. It's more like pulling shifts than assigning territories as the other two are from Europe and I am the only one on this side of the big pond. I have a special interest in keeping this one, the Parenting Forum and the Kids Crater safe as I have kids myself, but we all get around for the most part.

Hangul is understandably easier, considering it's an alphabet.


No one really knows all the kanji. :wink: Way too difficult. My friend (who is staying with me; she is from Japan) knows tons and tons, but when I asked her, she said she's not even close to knowing all of them. Each person knows at least a few thousand, though... or was that Hanzi... I think they'd theoretically have to know less kanji in Japan because they also have hiragana and katakana, while in China/Taiwan/Hong Kong all they have is hanzi to go by. Plus, not every word in Japanese has corresponding kanji, as you probably know. So sometimes, you just have to go with the hiragana and/or katakana for it. Usually hiragana for truly "Japanese" words.

I also find it interesting how often they used katakana during the days of WWII... many older people have katakana in their names, combined with kanji. Or they just have kanji. My Japanese name is just kanji, like many names given in Japan these days:

Surname first:

桜井麗子 Kanji
さくらいれいこ Hiragana
サクライレイコ Katakana
