日本語は面白くて、難しくて、大好きで、嫌いです。 September 17, 2009

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!)

ではまた。
