@teapeachrose @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova ...So saying shit like "their culture is Chinese" is insanely tone-deaf. Japanese language is Japanese, with a Chinese-inspired writing system that nevertheless exists separately from the Chinese language or culture.
English

@teapeachrose @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova I think you need to actually learn the languages you're trying to debate here. No one speaks alphabet. Written word forms in current languages are inherited from older local languages. We got our written word forms from Latin like Japan got their from ancient Chinese...
English

There's an old Noh play where a Chinese Sage visits Japan, insists that "everything Japanese is really Chinese," mispronounces everything, and after making a total ass of himself declares his work is done and returns to China.

@teapeachrose @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova >the japanese cartoon you watched rarely use kanji as basic conversation
Do you even know what kanji is?
>To answer your question that’s the point “herba” is already a word not letters, like this 日, it’s already a word
Exactly. And you seem to know what it means. Do you get it?
English

Oh you are slow,
Not a lot of Japanese are fluent in Kanji, because most of them use hiragana and katakana, the japanese cartoon you watched rarely use kanji as basic conversation
I mean since you have to recognize and remember 2000+ kanji characters to be fluent (N1)
To answer your question that’s the point “herba” is already a word not letters, like this 日, it’s already a word, kanji and chinese speaker will recognize that word,
finally you slowly get the point.

English

@teapeachrose @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova Japanese speakers can't read Chinese or vice versa, they can only guess the general meaning of individual written words, much like you can guess what "herba" means in Latin despite not speaking Latin.
Jesus fucking Christ, do you even know how Japanese works?

@Sketchie71 @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova Sun
Soleil
Sol
Different wording and you expect people to understand it without any context and knowledge about the language?
Are you this slow?
I told you show these pic, to any kanji speakers, They will understand it


English

@teapeachrose @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova >you will not understand it
Lmao
Stop counting letters ya dingus, learn what morphemes are instead.
Saying that Japanese writing is actually Chinese is exactly like saying French writing is actually Latin. Writing systems are not languages, nor do they belong to anyone.
English

@Sketchie71 @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova Can you count how many letters in sol, solis and soleil. All are different word, without the common knowledge of the language you will not understand it
Can you read?
Who is bringing out french first? Scroll up dumbass

English

@teapeachrose @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova Why are you comparing French to English? The Latin word for the Sun is Solis or Sol, which is the same morpheme used in Soleil.
English

Since you are slow i will explain it to like you are a retard.
The word Sun in english is Sun, in french is called Soleil, the wording already different
Sun only has 1 syllable and 3 letters in total, meanwhile Soleil has 2 syllables and 5 letters in total.
They use the same alphabetical system. Same meaning DIFFERENT WRITING. It doesn’t inherited the word from english.
Meanwhile we have chinese and Kanji
The word “sun” is 日 in ancient chinese, it’s not a letter it’s already a word with 4 strokes. Kanji use the same symbol 日 with 4 strokes as well.
It’s already a chinese word.
English

@teapeachrose @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova Chinese characters are logograms, they carry semantic meaning and phonetics, and in that regard, they are far closer to morphemes in Romance languages.
And I'm not sure how Latin letters being letters makes them less Latin than the Chinese characters being Chinese.
English

@Sketchie71 @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova While Chinese characters is chinese not a single stroke to represent a symbol like A, B or C,
Dumbass, it’s already a sentence.
You are getting close to being a retard
English

@teapeachrose @yoru_rainbow @corrupthemall @cirsova >The Latin alphabet is not a language owned by the Romans, it is a writing system
Man, you are SO close to getting it.
Also, fun fact - around 90% of the French vocab is derived from Vulgar Latin.
English

The Latin alphabet is not a language owned by the Romans, it is a writing system. It was influenced by Greek and Middle Eastern scripts as well. It simply provides the shapes used to form words.
While Kanji uses the entire structure of Chinese characters to represent meanings, European languages use the same alphabet differently. For example, the word for “apple” in French is “pomme”, the word is different, but the letters used to build it are the same.
Kanji is chinese as simple as that.
For example, this Chữ Nôm (Vietnamese kanji) but Japanese Kanji speaker can still understand this classical, right?
Can french speaker understand german language?

English

@teapeachrose @corrupthemall @cirsova >It is as simple as their culture is Roman. Their architecture , religion, tradition, even their language. Now tell me how to write “France” in French.
English

@corrupthemall @cirsova I don’t see anyone saying “france or japan isn’t real” wtf. Ccp this ccp that, i am not a China citizen you dumbass.
It is as simple as their culture is chinese.
Their architecture , religion, tradition, even their language.
Now tell me how to write “Japan” in japanese.
English

@learning_yohei They might seem completely unrelated at first, but once you study classic manga and go far enough in the past, you definitely start seeing how one evolved from the other.

@eur0dudes @V2Jake @haalasback You're comparing a video game for teens and older to a cartoon for preschoolers. No shit there's a difference.

@dailyprotag @TopGyaru Not possible, everyone has something they're passionate about. It's just a matter of discovering it, which is where our education system fails spectacularly.

@Radrappy @giawartemis Could you explain which part of the Thai mythology she was inspired by? I want to look into it.
English

@gakamsky @MGarrett33180 @Nobbie_OCs So the idea of nihilism, then, is that life has no moral or philosophical value? That would make it by far the most sociopathic philosophy possible, which checks out.
English

@Sketchie71 @MGarrett33180 @Nobbie_OCs That is not "meaning" in any sense relevant to nihilism. You are confusing "philosophical/moral value" with "when I say X I mean Y".
Unless the idea is that nihilism is supposed to mean that 2+2 can mean 3 or 5.
English

@Sketchie71 @MGarrett33180 @Nobbie_OCs >because belief begets meaning
What the hell are you on about? You can believe that 2+2 = 4 without giving that fact any sort of "Meaning", it simply is
English

@gakamsky @MGarrett33180 @Nobbie_OCs Because death is an ending that, meaningless or not, would put an end to meaninglessness itself.
The fact that nihilists believe anything is an oxymoron, because belief begets meaning. If they believe, they're not true nihilists.
It's like anarchy, only idiots believe in it.
English

@Sketchie71 @MGarrett33180 @Nobbie_OCs >a solution to meaninglessness
How? Death is as equally meaningless as life if you're you're nihilist no?
>things need to have meaning
Why? Nihilists certainly don't believe they do(?)
English

@gakamsky @MGarrett33180 @Nobbie_OCs A solution to meaninglessness. Why perpetuate something that has no reason to continue?
Things need to have meaning because meaning drives us. Humans always search for it. It's the intellectual thing to do.
English

@Sketchie71 @MGarrett33180 @Nobbie_OCs A solution to what? Why would death be any more meaningful? And why would things need to have meaning?
