  • One useful 한자 everyone should learn is 正 (“정”). This character means “right” or “correct,” and it’s used when making tally marks. I talk about how you can use it, and how to write it correctly.

    正 in Chinese means straight. Yes this tally system is also used in China

    Wow! In Japan we also use 正 for tallies. My guess is that this practice originated in China and was later spread to Korea and Japan (and possibly other countries in the Sinosphere).

    The other country that you are "not sure of" sir is Vietnam lol. We Vietnamese alongside China, Japan and (the two) Korea(s) form the "East Asian Cultural Sphere" (東亞文化圈, Hangul: 동아문화권 /dong-a-munhwa-gwon/; Japanese Romaji: Tō-a bunka-ken; Chinese pinyin/Cantonese Yale: dōngyà wénhuà quān / dung1 aa3 man4 faa3 hyun1; And in Vietnamese: Đông Á văn hoá quyển)

    • @Neky_Hina
      @Neky_Hina 3 года назад +2

      In Korean, usually 한자문화권 (漢字文化圈) is used rather than 동아문화권 which is quite alien to native speakers. Wikipedia sometimes suggests strange information to us.

    Great video, Billy 선생님. I like that it's short. You've already succeeded in making hundreds of videos on your channel for people who actually want to learn Korean. I think you're doing well by making short and interesting videos like these! Plus, you don't edit them so much or use so much humor. :-) It's good to make funny scenes, but sometimes, something simply works just as well!

    I don’t learn the very characters but I learn the sounds and meanings (like 동 - same; winter; child; move etc). So knowing a lot of characters (or rather syllables) helps a great deal. First you memorise new words easily and second you can even guess unknown ones. I know now may be 400-500 character syllables and keep learning.

    • @yijunwei7902
      @yijunwei7902 Год назад +1

      A Chinese can guess the corresponding hanja with ease, since they have similar pronunciation in Chinese:
      same - 同
      winter - 冬
      child - 童
      move - 動

    That's fascinating. I think I misread this character when I was young, and instead did it with 五. Which is five, so it made sense to me.
    Because I didn't grow up in Korea, I was never corrected on this misattribution. To this day, I tally using 五... I probably should switch to 正. Whoops.

    On the topic of Hanza, in my studies, K has stronger connections to Hokkien, Cantonese than Mandarin ( though in later words the Mandariness is clearer) Eg, Hakgio, Hakseng are SO Hokkien! In as in Hankook In (so Hakka) Kek (guest or customer) also Hakka. In fact, in any hanja word 90% it is not mandarin if there is an Bachim as Mandarin does not, but Hokkien and Cantonese and Hakka do. OH and, Sik (to eat) is so Cantonoese!!! Em Ak (music) cantonese-ish, Yiahk (Medicine)? Yok in Cantonese but Yaw (!!) in Mandarin.
