@Kuuhaku3993 It's the same way as how in Spanish, there can't be an s followed by any consonant, unless there's a vowel before it, like pronouncing Spain as "Espain". As for me, I have no issue pronouncing it because I pronounce what I see.

@bcarter_hobby @learning_yohei 漢("kan", Han) is a phono-semantic compound, 氵(water radical) represents the meaning and 𦰩(kan), U+26C29, represents the sound. While 字("ji", character) is also a phono-semantic compound, too, 宀(roof radical) represents the meaning, while 子(shi represents the sound.

@learning_yohei This works at first, but then...
「漢字」is 漢 a picture of the Han people? What about 字?...
...絶望 (what even is this picture?😆)

@compodulator @learning_yohei 姦(kan) also means "adultery", imagine a guy having fun with 3 women. lol

@learning_yohei You forgot the ♀️=女=woman, 🗣️📢=姦=noisy thing. 😂🤣

@moe_laboratory All this time I referred to my own back as just 背(se).

@NakoMoonVT The Kanji is also a phono-semantic compound, 氵("sanzui", water radical) represents the meaning, while 每/毎("mai/bai", every) represents the sound, which became the onyomi 海(kai) as in 海賊("kaizoku", pirate).

Why is "mother" (母) inside the Japanese kanji for "sea" (海)? 🌊🤱🇯🇵
I was curious about this too, so I looked it up!
海 is made of 氵 (water radical) and 毎 (every).
If you look closely, 毎 contains the character for mother (母)!
🔎 Here’s the origin:
In ancient times, 毎 depicted a mother wearing many hair ornaments.
Because these ornaments were layered together, the character came to mean "dense," "vast," or "so deep that it looks dark."
So, 海 represents water (氵) that is so deep and vast (毎) that you cannot see the bottom!
💡 Fun fact:
While many believe it’s because "the sea is the mother of life," the original etymological reason is to describe the sea's incredible depth and darkness. 🌸✨

@PyschopathTakes @hiragananinja Yeah, I like learning radicals, it's like puzzle pieces that show you the full picture. Like: 艹(grass radical) + 化(change) = 花(flower).

@hiragananinja Trying to memorize eighty unrelated kanji instead of learning the radicals first... no wonder you're struggling.
