Can we not . I feel like it ' s gonna make me sad <| sep |>$ 350 whew , when do they come out ? <| sep |> I want to say that having only learnt Japanese for all of about 2 months now , and having been introduced to Kanjis , I want to say that there are a large amount of connotations that Japanese and Chinese words have just by the combination of characters . Strangely , using Hiragana instead of the Kanji translates to fire bomb . is treated like Furigana , and is automatically replaced by the Kanjis . Even individual Kanjis give away so much etymological meanings when radicals are combined . is the radical for grass . is the radical for change . The two combined gives . The grass or plant has transformed , had changed , it is now a flower . I do like the way the Kanjis are built up from radicals , and it does make learning their meanings a lot easier . I find it very annoying though that Kanjis have up to 4 pronunciations and you can ' t even guess which one it was because the way it was pronounced in another word has no relevance to whatever other word . I did find it weird that after 2 weeks of attempting to learn the Kanjis , I was able to work out a basic meaning of a post when a Chinese friend of mine was scrolling through Weibo on hey phone . I do like the etymology of Asian languages to be inbreeding intriguing , and it ' s certainly very different to European languages , which is what I ' ve been more or less learning up to October .
