Octavio Estrada 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Well then, about how many? Sure most people can read more than they can write. I can read a couple of hundred, maybe write about 50 Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 yeah, but can you surf? Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I've never been able to figure out how one knows that sort of thing. I can read 7,803. Link to post Share on other sites
six-six-six 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Ever heard of the word "about"?? It's quite useful and highly recommended in situations such as this. I can probably read about 50 and write about 10 Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I can read about 7,800 Link to post Share on other sites

xxx 2 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Doing well there barok, you only started last year, right? Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Read, write and understand the Jyoyou Kanji no problems. Can also do many more but I have no way of counting those... Give me dictionary and I can read and write the whole lot. Whether I understand them is a different thing though. Link to post Share on other sites
NutteyCubey 0 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Write less than 100 Link to post Share on other sites
asobou 0 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Lots! I am Japanese! Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 none. Except for the ones that I learn by accident, like the ant and the sqaure which means exit. In fact, I can't write them nor read them. I just know the ant. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Gosh, Ocean, do you mind if I call you 7803 from now on? I didn't know there were that many Kanji in existence! I'm still sorting my way out through the first few hundred and finding it difficult going because each Kanji seems to have at least 2 ways of being read. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Markie, I don't actually know how many kanji I can read. But I did learn how to use the word 'about' from six-six-six. Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I can hardly write a single kanji by hand, but using a computer I can compose intelligible business letters full of the most beautiful kanji. How did I get to be this way? Keitai mail to/from girls! Thank you, J-Phone! Highly recommended as a study aid. If algebra and geography had involved constant interaction with beautiful fun-loving gals, I'd have had a much easier time of it in middle school. Instead, I got the withered 72-year-old Ms. Troyer for math, and the rather shockingly obese Ms. Fisher for geography. It was said that Ms. Fisher was selected for study of the globe because her massive body had its own gravitational field. I was able to memorize the location of places like Borneo and the Solomon Islands by referencing certain periodic wobbles and jellyflaps on her southern hemisphere. Sorry Mogs--you don't want to know where NZ was located! Link to post Share on other sites
