@kyota.ko: The origin story of Katakana #japaneselanguage #katakana #LanguageLearning #japanese #learnjapanese

cryptochromosaur :

A “steep” learningcurve.. means, you learn it in a short time 😅 I do not think that is the case. 🙃

ronaldobichara :

wasnt hiragana invented before with the same purpose?

Kei :

Ooooh! So, originally katakana was made to be like furigana, assistive to understanding the kanji character it is next to? And now it's for loan words. I'm glad we kept the concept of assistive characters next to the kanji, because furigana is incredibly helpful!

Zeddinator :

Wait, I have question! I think I remember Orochi meaning Snake (or a specific snake), but Oroshi[masu] means to withdraw money. is there a correlation? or coincidence?

Simp4Leon :

I'll never be able to read Katakana fluently 😭 I've started learning Kanji and I have an easier time with them lmao

ランディ :

Nieri :

Amanda Lorian :

Im so proud I know about 50 kanji...but then I remember there are thousands and I will be studying until I die 🥲

ko :

so many loan words now although they don't need to loan. I know original words but need to learn what they loan, too 😔

Robbotron / The Dark Room :

I love your stuff

CriollitaChilena🇨🇱 :

So the story about women being forbbiden of learning kanji and stuff and then creating their own writting system is false, right?

Kazumo :

what about romanji

themaan :

I was taught years ago that Katakana were the characters used to spell out foreign words in Japanese. have I been telling friends incorrect information all this time???
