Fish

This is fish,

and simply made from the shape.

Watch this flash.

You can find some at sushi bars.

In Japanese, these are strict.

Question: What do the next Kanji sets mean?

Hint: The left character means “secondary”.

Answer: Cousins

0,000

In English, people use thousand, million and billion with every three zero.

There’s no such a digit like Japanese “Man” : four zero or ten thousand.

But we have a “Man” bill and are very accustomed to this way of counting.

So “Man” may be the most important word in Japan, not a man.

Twitter

This is “bird”, and the shape was designed in this way.

This is “twitter” or ” chirp”, and the left square means “mouth”.

Easy to understand?

Big, Fat or Dog

This Kanji means “big”,

and this is “fat”.

And this is “dog”.

First of all, Love.

This is love in Japanese Kanji, and how to write is here.

This is also love; “falling in love”,

but we easily mistake it and write this.

This Kanji means “strange, funny, weird, change”.

(It’s also Hen of “Hentai”.)
