    The concept of ma (space) has a apt significance. We also see it often in nature. The same when used in man-made things plays vital role. With this understanding, I have a question in my mind, if any language expert can explain it. The question is "In most languages we see spaces in between words, punctuation marks used for indicating meaningful interval/space. In a Japanese sentence we find punctuation marks used, but not the spaces between words. Why there is no space between Japanese words?" Please help to understand.

    • @danslegris
      @danslegris 15 дней назад

      Hi, thank you for your thoughtful question. The absence of spaces in Japanese writing is rooted in the language's unique structure and history. Japanese utilizes a combination of kanji (characters borrowed from Chinese), hiragana, and katakana (syllabaries). The boundaries between words are signaled by the kanji or kana characters themselves, rendering spaces unnecessary. Additionally, the grammar and use of particles in Japanese naturally create separations. Similarly, traditional Chinese writing does not use spaces between characters. Each character typically represents a word or a meaningful component, and the language's structure allows readers to effortlessly understand the text. I hope this helps!

    Minimalism is obsessed with less material things, that people become anxious forcing themselves to get rid of none use. Wabi Sabi allows for imperfection that calms, and having objects that you don’t use, that you find valuable. Wabi Sabi brings us close to nature, while Minimalism bring us to minimum objects with the soul purpose of giving you time to focus on tasks, focusing on outcomes. Focusing on outcomes comes with perfection and pointless suffering.
