10:34 Recap of everything so far Kanji • Kanji is the incorporation of Chinese characters into Japanese writing • They are characters that represent an idea and contain meaning • Radicals are the building blocks of Kanji • Kanji can have multiple readings "On" and "Kun" • The "On" reading mimics the original sound made in Chinese • The "Kun" reading is a revised reading used to integrate the Japanese alphabet • The only way to determine which reading to use is mainly VIA the context • The "On" reading is usually used when multiple Kanji are grouped together in a compound word • The "Kun" reading is usually used when it's a standalone Kanji Radicals • Each Kanji character has at least one of them • Sometimes they can be a Kanji on its own • Several Radicals put together can be another Kanji • When placed together they can be in 4 different positions known as Left, Crown, Right, Foot Common Kanji Radicals & Characters • Person/Human 人 or 休 • Called にんべん written with 2 strokes • This character is commonly found in the left position • Less commonly found in the Crown position "On" Readings are on the left and "Kun" on the right • Alone its readings are ニソ and ひと • Paired with Tree it's キユウ and やす meaning to rest 休 • Paired with Trunk it's タイ and かやだ meaning body 体 • Paired with Word it's シソ meaning Trust 信

Me: Well the person is now leaning closer to the ground (near the root of the tree) , so maybe sleep? The: "It's referring to the human body! Okay, then how about human and word?" Me: Oh, that's gotta be talking! They: "It means trust! Can you see how easily we can guess the meaning?" Me: Not really.
"This radical means person, and this radical means tree. Can you guess what this Kanji means?" Me, with confidence: *Treeman* I know, I'm not very bright.

hah i recognized that kanji as soon as i saw it because for some reason, years ago, i looked up the character for depression and it was that kanji...and it stuck with me, because of how unique it was. dont ask me to write it though lol, it has so many strokes.
you guys are doing this for anime but i'm doing this because i accidentally changed my laptop's language to japanese and i can't turn it back edit: jesus christ calm down its a fucking joke
Me: "Learns hiragana and katakana in 1 week and proceeds to learn kanji with confidence." Video: "Person + tree = rest" Me: "This little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years"
Introverted J It means you take one person’s word by heart. But again, you can’t translate word for word for two entirely different cultures. Better remember it just as “信”.
For anyone learning Kanji right now or Chinese characters, its best to learn them through memory and making up a story. This video is really teaching you one thing, making a memory or a story behind each Kanji. When they claim Person and Tree is rest, its their way of memorizing the Kanji as rest. What I mean by that is, if that Kanji meant "to lean", you would have just remembered it as a person leaning on a tree. To Lean. Its all imaginative. That's the key take way here.
They didn't even explain that one, so either it's so obvious that I'm dumb for not getting it or they themselves have no idea how that can mean older brother
what i learnt from this lesson: one cannot simply guess the meaning of a kanji just by trying to make a connection between the meanings of its radicals.
@@smokeymanalotoo i think it's much better to learn kanji through vocabulary and context, most people are not linguists, it certainly helps guessing new words if you know a bit about how japanese words are generally conceived but that's it, but i guess even that becomes intuitive the more our brains get used to discovering the patterns
to be honest, even if the stories are far fetched they help, the person + tree meaning ti rest feels weird but everytime i see these now i instantly remember, "uh a person next to a tree?" and that feeling of weirdness reminds me of the meaning even tho the actual story behind it might not make sense, i know that ones a simple exemple but it still helps a lot to know radicals, also it's how most dictionaries are organized so it's useful for searching kanji when you can recognize part of it
Sometimes if I can't understand the story between then radicals then I just make my own way to remember like for otouto (younger brother) which is 弟 my mindset was "this kanji has horns because younger brothers must be little devils" and that's how I remember it.
I'm not here to be rude or anything, but learning the radicals are harder than learning the kanji itself. It doesn't make sense to me why they would suggest learning the radical sure you know that part of the radical but what about the other? you will never know the word.... so, to me in my idea I think learning the kanji take 1 min not hard for me at least just my thought's
well, it's not like radicals are 100% accurate translation of kanji, it's just sort of vague idea of how to decrypt it. You have to learn all kanji separately anyway, but radicals might help to remember it and to not confuse with other kanji. And in this video what they were saying was more like mnemonic stories, rather than actual, 100% objective way of reading them
We learn kanji in elementary school for 6 years with a sponge brain, still sometimes we search the characters that we don't know or forget how to write or read. There is even a quiz show that guesses how to read kanji. I want to say to all you guys who study japanese just keep it up, but I think it's best to learn step by step while having fun. I want to talk to you guys in Japanese someday! Greetings from Japan!!
you just cheered me up ! , I am absolute beginner so one question is this approach good - first learning Hiragana and Katakana , Second - all radicals , Last - Kanji (first 2000 or so)
(I'm learning Japanese and know hiragana, plus katakana, but I'm unaware of how to get my English keyboard to type either. So, I'll have to type Japanese in English lettering. I'm sorry.) Arigato gozaimasu! Hatsumode, Jada to mashimasu. Yoroshiku onigaishimasu! (This may be spelled incorrectly, if it is, I'm sorry.)
Finally an explanation for reading kanji! I always wondered how it worked. It always baffled me how Japanese people could read a kanji they’ve never or hardly seen and understand it’s meaning. The radical system makes so much sense! Yay no longer in the dark! Excited to learn Kanji now that I know how it works! 😄

Kanji are like ancient emojis if that makes it any easier A good tip is that there is no one certain reading （Example: Soda, Pop, Coke, Cola) and then u just use it as the 🥤Emoji
13:10 "Just remember where your legs are on your body and you won't forget it!" "Where are your legs?" "On the bottom!" LMAO. That enthusiasm melted my heart and made me laugh out loud.
For all new Kanji learners, if you are planning to learn Kanji through using stories, memorize your own stories. The issue that a lot of people don't tell you, like in this video or in books like RTK (remembering the kanji), is that memorizing thousands of different stories for Kanji is also just as ineffective. People claim, "Oh. Memorizing Kanji by itself is difficult and will take a long time." But when you memorize the stories for these Kanjis, you also STILL have to memorize the Kanji. The only difference is that you are memorizing an extra step to MAYBE make it easier for yourself. I think the best situation is mix and match. Some stories for some Kanji you find difficult but the rest should be learnt through meaning and context. We don't teach English speakers to learn words like Run through pictures. IE: We don't tell people. "Okay. The R is like a 2 legs and they are moving and the UN are the curves of a track. Thus running!" Also - in English we memorize thousands and thousands of words created by 26 letters. That means 26 letters have thousands of combinations. Not once we were thought to use stories. A prime of example of why some of these stories don't really work if you listen to other people is: take the character 問 (to ask). The video basically said: the department of mouth is to question or to ask. Why isn't it to smile? To talk? To chew? To etc... This is basically basically its not REAL meaning; its what they decided to make the story as. Just remember, if you do stories, do your own or you'll be confused.
Hiragana mastered 3 days _"Anime Here I come!"_ Katakana Mastered 1 week _"Oh, Anime you're so gonna get rekt..."_ Kanji... _"Belay my last... I'm gonna be here for a while."_
Czenrtos Lagszero It doesn’t matter if you learned them in 2 hours. You can forget them easily if you don’t spend time to learn a couple characters at a time, Which I’m sure is why it took him 3 days for Hiragana.
Kanji is hard for me to grasp and I'm kinda thinking of giving up sometimes. But I've come this far. I've already learned hiragana and katakana, and I have already bought reference books and study materials. And I still have my passion in learning this language. To anyone who's feeling the same, let's not give up and try and try until we succeed. It might take long before we master some phrases, characters, or words, but atleast we tried, and we're still trying. Ganbatte! ❤️ And thanks for Japanesepod101 for the free and fun lessons! Their videos are so helpful and enjoyable that it helps me maintain my will to study. Arigatou gozaimasu! 🙇🏻♀️
The 4 way of kanji: 1). As a stand alone. Simply as is with 1 kanji character with 1 meaning. I.e: 女(onna) = women 2). Write it along hiragana but still 1 meaning. Here we use them together with hiragana scripts which usually used similarly as a conjunction. I.e: 女の子(onna no ko) = girl, consist of kanji 'women'(女, onna), hiragana の that mostly represented as 'ownership', and kanji child (子, ko) 3). As a radicals and combine it with other radicals to create 1 kanji character. I.e: 好(kou) = fondness, consist of 2 kanji as radicals, woman(女) and child(子), but for this one isn't to be used as is, like the 2nd ways, its used in hiragana to give a 'meaning' in its words like 好き(suki, means like) or 好く(suku, means 'to like'). Not to be mistaken with 透く(suku, means 'be transparent') which spelled the same but uses different kanji hence different meaning. You can also uses more radicals, i.e. 姦(kan) = noisy, with 3 kanji characters of women(女) as radicals 4). Combine it with other kanji but not as radical. I.e: 王女(oujo) = princess, consist of 2 kanji, king(王, ou) and women(女, onna). This time not as radical which to create 1 character, but as 2 character but with 1 meaning. And just like radicals, it can also uses more characters but still create one meaning
Oh to each their own opinion. Chinese would be harder for a Japanese speaking person to learn while Japanese is harder for a Chinese person like me. But whichever language you pick up and master first will always seem like the easier one. I learnt Japanese way after Chinese and it does seem more difficult, though international research shows otherwise
Learning hiragana is like being able to read a text out loud but not understanding the meaning of it, while practicing Kanji is like being able to understand a written text but not being able to read it out loud most of the time xD
That IS the case. But if you look at it from this angle it will help you out. So it's like you know English letters and maybe can spell Spanish words. You don't know them but you know the letters. At that point you need to learn what the word is. That's pretty much hiragana and katakana when you read them don't you agree?
I can see why you’re telling to memorize instead. I mean a person radical and a word radical becomes trust? How dafu- and person radical and tree radical becomes to rest? Bruv. But at the same time it seems like this is also a way to get an idea of what the kanji means
just like how in english we read, tough, though, through, differently without thinking much about it. There are kanji i could easily read if it is part of a word with hiragana, but i need to think longer if i see them as a single kanji.
@@kanecanedy623 To non-native Japanese, for learning Kanji analyzing radicals might work good sometimes, but it's not always perfect because as some people say there are many exceptions. So trying to memorize a character as the whole, one part may increase your Kanji stocks faster. Japanese people learn Kanjis by just MEMORIZING them from 1st grade 6 years old. And we have never analyzed their structures.
@@carmcam1 In Japan we have a proverb "If you want to make a short cut, you just go the ordinary way" In this case I believe the ordinary way is memorizing haha.
"Kanji has two readings - on and kun" Me: okay sure "The on is nin and kun is hito." Me: yeah okay this is getting easier "The on will be used in compound kanji, so what will it sound in to rest?" Me: nin! Cuz its the on reading! "Its kyuu!" ...?????? What
Person + Tree = Rest Person + Trunk = Body Person + Word = Trust "Can you see how we can determine the meaning of each kanji character by identifying the radicals in them?" No. No I cannot.
i guess it can be connected by a thing that PERSON can do, it can rest, trust, have body. i thought it like that, but it will never give *correct* answers
I learned Chinese characters since my schooling in kindergarten. However, Kanji is still one of the most challenging parts of the Japanese language. The writing is easy. The meaning of the words is mostly identical or similar, although approximately 30% of the vocabulary is uniquely used in the Japanese language and unintelligible in Chinese. The pronunciation, however, is often different from those in any Sinitic language such that we need to memorize them one by one. To be able to read Kanji words, we still need to memorize the pronunciation of more than a thousand commonly used words. Only a very small portion of the Kanji words have similar pronunciation to some Sinitic languages, usually the regional languages in South China which share common origins with Kanji from Middle Chinese. The pronunciation of modern Mandarin Chinese is almost completely different.

10:34 Recap of everything so far
Kanji
• Kanji is the incorporation of Chinese characters into Japanese writing
• They are characters that represent an idea and contain meaning
• Radicals are the building blocks of Kanji
• Kanji can have multiple readings "On" and "Kun"
• The "On" reading mimics the original sound made in Chinese
• The "Kun" reading is a revised reading used to integrate the Japanese alphabet
• The only way to determine which reading to use is mainly VIA the context
• The "On" reading is usually used when multiple Kanji are grouped together in a compound word
• The "Kun" reading is usually used when it's a standalone Kanji
Radicals
• Each Kanji character has at least one of them
• Sometimes they can be a Kanji on its own
• Several Radicals put together can be another Kanji
• When placed together they can be in 4 different positions known as Left, Crown, Right, Foot
Common Kanji Radicals & Characters
• Person/Human 人 or 休
• Called にんべん written with 2 strokes
• This character is commonly found in the left position
• Less commonly found in the Crown position
"On" Readings are on the left and "Kun" on the right
• Alone its readings are ニソ and ひと
• Paired with Tree it's キユウ and やす meaning to rest 休
• Paired with Trunk it's タイ and かやだ meaning body 体
• Paired with Word it's シソ meaning Trust 信
I'm not scared, I've already learned the whole Pokédex.

FiveADay Kanji 1 only means fucking one.. 1 is beginning point as it is used for counting like いち .. It is not used as single in any sentences .. So? 1st is pronounced First which is soooo simple to understand because of common "st".. Tell me in the same way in japanese
U can be fluent in just 6 months
Good thing every kanji has only two ways to read it and 5 possible meanings

For anyone learning Kanji right now or Chinese characters, its best to learn them through memory and making up a story. This video is really teaching you one thing, making a memory or a story behind each Kanji. When they claim Person and Tree is rest, its their way of memorizing the Kanji as rest. What I mean by that is, if that Kanji meant "to lean", you would have just remembered it as a person leaning on a tree. To Lean. Its all imaginative. That's the key take way here.
Mouth+ legs= older brother

what i learnt from this lesson:
one cannot simply guess the meaning of a kanji just by trying to make a connection between the meanings of its radicals.
true. memorization the kanji as an individual word is the only way
@@smokeymanalotoo i think it's much better to learn kanji through vocabulary and context, most people are not linguists, it certainly helps guessing new words if you know a bit about how japanese words are generally conceived but that's it, but i guess even that becomes intuitive the more our brains get used to discovering the patterns
to be honest, even if the stories are far fetched they help, the person + tree meaning ti rest feels weird but everytime i see these now i instantly remember, "uh a person next to a tree?" and that feeling of weirdness reminds me of the meaning even tho the actual story behind it might not make sense,
i know that ones a simple exemple but it still helps a lot to know radicals, also it's how most dictionaries are organized so it's useful for searching kanji when you can recognize part of it
@@lNovalandl In the old days people at the fields used to rest under trees at noon. Thatvwaybthey were protected by the sun.
Sometimes if I can't understand the story between then radicals then I just make my own way to remember like for otouto (younger brother) which is 弟 my mindset was "this kanji has horns because younger brothers must be little devils" and that's how I remember it.
I'm not here to be rude or anything, but learning the radicals are harder than learning the kanji itself. It doesn't make sense to me why they would suggest learning the radical sure you know that part of the radical but what about the other? you will never know the word.... so, to me in my idea I think learning the kanji take 1 min not hard for me at least just my thought's
So how you used to learn kanji? Just wondering to know your method. I am a beginner just learn hiragana & katakana
I will tell my brother he's a mouth on legs, I'm sure he will appreciate it.

well, it's not like radicals are 100% accurate translation of kanji, it's just sort of vague idea of how to decrypt it. You have to learn all kanji separately anyway, but radicals might help to remember it and to not confuse with other kanji.
And in this video what they were saying was more like mnemonic stories, rather than actual, 100% objective way of reading them

*what if you don't have legs?*
For all new Kanji learners, if you are planning to learn Kanji through using stories, memorize your own stories. The issue that a lot of people don't tell you, like in this video or in books like RTK (remembering the kanji), is that memorizing thousands of different stories for Kanji is also just as ineffective. People claim, "Oh. Memorizing Kanji by itself is difficult and will take a long time." But when you memorize the stories for these Kanjis, you also STILL have to memorize the Kanji. The only difference is that you are memorizing an extra step to MAYBE make it easier for yourself. I think the best situation is mix and match. Some stories for some Kanji you find difficult but the rest should be learnt through meaning and context. We don't teach English speakers to learn words like Run through pictures. IE: We don't tell people. "Okay. The R is like a 2 legs and they are moving and the UN are the curves of a track. Thus running!" Also - in English we memorize thousands and thousands of words created by 26 letters. That means 26 letters have thousands of combinations. Not once we were thought to use stories. A prime of example of why some of these stories don't really work if you listen to other people is: take the character 問 (to ask). The video basically said: the department of mouth is to question or to ask. Why isn't it to smile? To talk? To chew? To etc... This is basically basically its not REAL meaning; its what they decided to make the story as. Just remember, if you do stories, do your own or you'll be confused.

The 4 way of kanji:
1). As a stand alone.
Simply as is with 1 kanji character with 1 meaning.
I.e: 女(onna) = women
2). Write it along hiragana but still 1 meaning.
Here we use them together with hiragana scripts which usually used similarly as a conjunction.
I.e: 女の子(onna no ko) = girl, consist of kanji 'women'(女, onna), hiragana の that mostly represented as 'ownership', and kanji child (子, ko)
3). As a radicals and combine it with other radicals to create 1 kanji character.
I.e: 好(kou) = fondness, consist of 2 kanji as radicals, woman(女) and child(子), but for this one isn't to be used as is, like the 2nd ways, its used in hiragana to give a 'meaning' in its words like 好き(suki, means like) or 好く(suku, means 'to like'). Not to be mistaken with 透く(suku, means 'be transparent') which spelled the same but uses different kanji hence different meaning. You can also uses more radicals, i.e. 姦(kan) = noisy, with 3 kanji characters of women(女) as radicals
4). Combine it with other kanji but not as radical.
I.e: 王女(oujo) = princess, consist of 2 kanji, king(王, ou) and women(女, onna). This time not as radical which to create 1 character, but as 2 character but with 1 meaning. And just like radicals, it can also uses more characters but still create one meaning
this comment is underrated. thanks for the insight 😊
3 women kanji = noisy
The Chinese knows what's up
Thank, this was very useful!
Yeah, while reading, I *surely* will have time to think about something like that
If (King+Woman) means Princess how do you write Queen?

@@n.8224 yeah, but someone can remember grammar rules easier than hieroglyphs
@7 Melt But you can use Hiragana or Katakana.
其实汉字没有那么难学。You can do it.
There's a whole argument debating on whether Chinese or Japanese is harder.
Oh to each their own opinion. Chinese would be harder for a Japanese speaking person to learn while Japanese is harder for a Chinese person like me. But whichever language you pick up and master first will always seem like the easier one. I learnt Japanese way after Chinese and it does seem more difficult, though international research shows otherwise
Learning hiragana is like being able to read a text out loud but not understanding the meaning of it, while practicing Kanji is like being able to understand a written text but not being able to read it out loud most of the time xD
AHAHA!! EXACTLY
You worded it exactly the way I wanted to say 😂👏
That IS the case. But if you look at it from this angle it will help you out. So it's like you know English letters and maybe can spell Spanish words. You don't know them but you know the letters. At that point you need to learn what the word is. That's pretty much hiragana and katakana when you read them don't you agree?
Makes sense

One advice from Native Japanese:
Do not think about radicals, do not try to "analyze" kanjis with radicals.
DO NOT THINK. MEMORIZE.
I can see why you’re telling to memorize instead. I mean a person radical and a word radical becomes trust? How dafu- and person radical and tree radical becomes to rest? Bruv.
But at the same time it seems like this is also a way to get an idea of what the kanji means
just like how in english we read, tough, though, through, differently without thinking much about it. There are kanji i could easily read if it is part of a word with hiragana, but i need to think longer if i see them as a single kanji.
@@kanecanedy623 To non-native Japanese, for learning Kanji analyzing radicals might work good sometimes, but it's not always perfect because as some people say there are many exceptions. So trying to memorize a character as the whole, one part may increase your Kanji stocks faster. Japanese people learn Kanjis by just MEMORIZING them from 1st grade 6 years old. And we have never analyzed their structures.

I learned Chinese characters since my schooling in kindergarten. However, Kanji is still one of the most challenging parts of the Japanese language. The writing is easy. The meaning of the words is mostly identical or similar, although approximately 30% of the vocabulary is uniquely used in the Japanese language and unintelligible in Chinese. The pronunciation, however, is often different from those in any Sinitic language such that we need to memorize them one by one. To be able to read Kanji words, we still need to memorize the pronunciation of more than a thousand commonly used words. Only a very small portion of the Kanji words have similar pronunciation to some Sinitic languages, usually the regional languages in South China which share common origins with Kanji from Middle Chinese. The pronunciation of modern Mandarin Chinese is almost completely different.
alright, any tips on how to make the memorizing part any easier? how do kindergarten kids approach this mammoth task? thanks for tips, any really😅
