      Traditional is more appealing visually but its horrendous for writing because there are way more strokes. also traditional are also modified writings since the last dynasty. the chinese writing changes from dynasty to dynasty

    Pretty sure the "perverted" meaning of 变态 came from Japanese. It's a contraction of 変態性欲 (abnormal sexual desire) in Japanese (although the same coining process works in Chinese as well) and got imported to Chinese in 80s... Its original meaning is metamorphosis in both languages, though not really commonly used outside philosophy and biology.

    The test was too easy for me. I guess the Japanese might be from countryside or not grew up with people with different backgrounds in Japan. Pronunciation parts must be very easy for us if they had communicated with people who have different accents. I've never lived in China and never learned Chinese, but I can understand from 20 to 30% of newspapers in Cantonese and understand from 90% to 100% instructions written in Mandarin on products made in China.

    Correct me if I am wrong. When Japanese people adopted kanji, they also adopted some of the sound right? Thus, the word library.

    • @alex_L_A
      @alex_L_A 9 месяцев назад

      You're correct to some extent, but the adoption of kanji in Japan has a bit more complexity to it. Kanji, which are logographic characters borrowed from Chinese, were indeed introduced to Japan along with the Chinese writing system. When the Japanese adopted kanji, they initially used them for their meaning rather than their sound. Each kanji character represents a concept or an idea. However, over time, the Japanese started using kanji to represent not only meaning but also sound. They combined kanji characters with native Japanese spoken language to create what is now known as "Man'yōgana." Man'yōgana involved using kanji characters for their phonetic value rather than their original meaning. This was a way of representing the sounds of the Japanese language using Chinese characters. The process of adopting sound through kanji characters eventually led to the development of two syllabic scripts in addition to kanji: hiragana and katakana. Hiragana and katakana are syllabic scripts that represent the sounds of the Japanese language directly. They are derived from simplifications of certain kanji characters. So, while the adoption of kanji did involve incorporating some aspects of sound representation, the direct representation of sounds in Japanese is primarily done through hiragana and katakana, not kanji.

    Traditional Chinese characters and ancient Chinese are mostly used in Japanese Chinese characters; Not simplified characters and modern Chinese, especially not the current language in mainland China; There are only a small number of simplified characters, and in Japanese, there are Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka and Miao dialects and grammar, are ancient Chinese.

      stop NS, simplieified chinese existed in ancient china, its a process of simplifying the characters since 2000 years ago, also it is characters , not spoken lanuagages, it does not have grammar issue, also Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka are far from being ancient chinese, they might contain some ancient tones and pronuciation, but way different from ancient chinese, the guan hua system have more elements that are real ancient chinese, which is from nanjing and jiangxi and central china ,..

      Traditional characters are a simplification of Small and Great seal script which in turn are simplifications of Oracle Bone script which are a simplification of pictograms. Simplification in ancient times was not always about making it easier to understand or write, it was about making it practical.

      Japanese words represented by kanji will have more similarity to the "Cantonese version" of formal written Chinese which is less colloquial than written Mandarin. I always thought that standard Mandarin didn't sound formal enough (for words which even appears on the official Chinese government approved dictionary) when compared to the "Cantonese version" of formal written Chinese or kanji.
