Ocean11 0 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 You're so cruel Creek Boy. But unfortunately not 牛飲馬食. Although the invitations come fast and furious, none of them are sincere, apparently. I was amazed that the 2nd choice of kanji was that imperial nipper's name. Are the Japanese people really that keen on this imperial folly, or is it just the type of person that submit 'this year's kanji'. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 cruel? nah, just playin off his handle name is all maybe ご立派 woulda been more suitable? saw that myself last night o11. Think the latter suits it best. How many cards were on the table there at kyomizudera? 1 million? They flashed so many that were sent in and none of the ones shown matched the 3 chosen I'd go with the shaved-head dude choosing it himself Link to post Share on other sites

gamera 0 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 big-will, 魑魅魍魎= pronounced as "chi mi mou ryo" which would be translated into "evil spirits". This is not a daily use word. Maybe you can say something like "I felt chimimoryo when I got outside of my room after midnight." If you would like to know some daily use words, how about 醤油 麒麟<-- If you were a heavy beer drinker, you must know this Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 There's no point in telling some people about online dictionaries that they can use instead of lamely asking "What does ## mean?" (even though they start a thread about kanji). Some people are just too lazy to bookmark the dictionaries we post, and don't have the manners to contribute in any but the most lackadaisical fashion (and then turn around and pile on anybody who they think is 'disloyal to the forum' or some such drivel.) This is going to be a bit of a theme of mine for a while. Sorry if you don't like it. Link to post Share on other sites
