Japanese is such a f#$%kascinating language because
1) Interesting = 面白い (omoshiroi). In Chinese, this means white face. I suppose things become so interesting that your face turns white.
2) Robber/Burglar/Thief = 泥棒 (darobou). In Chinese, this means muddy stick. I suppose this is a favourite tool of choice for criminals
3) To Apologise = 謝る(ayamaru). In Chinese, this means thank you.
Thank God, there is some saving grace after all.
4) Easy/Simple = 簡単 (kandan) or Jian Dan in Chinese
5) Safety = 安全 (anzen) or An Quan in Chinese
6) To Fail = 失敗 (shitpai) or Shi Bai in Chinese
勉強しなければならない。(To study means to force oneself in Chinese … how apt!)
