I can’t watch too many of these videos ‘cause my face starts to hurt from smiling for so long. Korone’s popularity is much more than just “anime girl play video game”, she’s a genuinely kind, funny, and hard-working person with the kind of personality you just want to be around. Thanks to all you translators who open up her content for us non-Japanese speakers (though of course she’s trying her best to reach us herself).

[@warpey5632]

I'm fluent in French and "windmill" in French is "tournevent". It's a combination of the words "tourne"+"vent". Tourne=spin/turn Vent=wind In other words it's called a wind spinner or wind turner.

[@kingchickenwing4887]

_SPIN WIND_

[@GorFrag]

you spin me right round like a tounevent baby!

[@Zenicka]

Main language is french and over here we say "Moulin à vent" for windmill and it happens to be a literal translation. Not sure what the word for pinwheel is in french though, that might be "tournevent"

*Kazaguruma* and *Jesus*

[@Furluge]

Thanks for the good work as always osakaki.

[@-Raylight]

I don't think people come to Korone to purely learn Japanese, so she should worried about making mistakes Interesting how Kazaguruma and Fuusha (風車) have the same Kanji and meaning, Kazaguruma is also windmill according to dictionary, dunno what's the difference though

[@kingchickenwing4887]

They use the same kanji and mean the same thing? Then, if what I know is correct, it may just be a different reading that is more formal or something, but I'm not sure, still trying to figure out different readings as a concept.

[@dragonknightleader1]

Kaza guruma is Fun'yomi (native Japanese pronunciation). Fuu Sha is On'yomi (Chinese-ish pronuncation). My question is why she used Fun'yomi where there's no grammatical hiragana to modify it.

[@kingchickenwing4887]

@@dragonknightleader1 Wait, so grammar ending change the entire word from Japanese to Chinese pronunciation?

[@kaikart123]

Reminder that Kanji was designed to not let plebeians to learn it easily and keep writing and reading to the aristocrats

[@shib5267]

it's also common to just randomly assign readings to a kanji to be used only in a specific word with no reason whatsoever.

[@Babi1st]

there's a bad bad virus ad below the video, hard time for my favorite youtuber named korone

[@kingchickenwing4887]

Fun fact: The kanji for "windmill" are "wind + vehicle", probably because windmills are vehicles for wind, or because wind makes them move like a vehicle.

[@tortoise-chan]

it's just the character for wheel

[@shib5267]

not really, the character is an ideogram of a chariot looking from above. In Japanese, historically it took the meaning of wheel, and by extension everything that spins; windmills, for example. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%BB%8A

[@ABlob]

Interesting how it's "kaz*a*" in this case, when I only knew wind being "kaz*e*"... I'm just a very early beginner with trying to learn Japanese though.

[@SheffiTB]

@@ABlob generally kanji have multiple ways to pronounce them depending on context, e.g. you might use one pronunciation when the kanji is used on its own, a different one at the start of the word, a different one at the end of the word, etc. Sometimes different pronunciations of the same kanji can have slightly different meanings, e.g. 女 can be pronounced as "onna" and means woman, or it can be pronounced as "me" and mean female in a more scientific way (like talking about "this tiger is female"), or "jo" which means female when used as a modifier e.g. shoujo (little girl), josei (adult woman), etc. In this case, I'm pretty sure the difference between kaze and kaza is just whether it's part of a longer word or not, but we also see the case here in this video of 風車 being pronounced two different ways and meaning two different things: pronouncing it fuusha means windmill, and pronouncing it kazaguruma means pinwheel. Kanji is weird.

[@Cookiedible]

@@ABlob Sometimes it's just a matter of phonaesthetics, although i'm not 100% sure it's the case here. If it sounds better or it's easier to pronounce or to understand, words can end up changing pronounciation a little. I know for consonants there is a phenomenon called rendaku, for example 空 is "sora" (sky), but it will become "zora" in 青空 (aozora, blue sky). There might be a similar phenomenon for vowels and it would be interesting to look into it.

[@MAGNUS-8M]

If there's one word I want Korone to find and learn, half to hear her pronounce it, and half to see if she understands the significance, would be "onomatopoeia". As in that's like almost kinda sorta not really half of Japanese vocabulary, I kind of wonder if she would make the connection on her own or not if she saw what it meant. But mostly I want to hear her try to pronounce it by sight and then imitate Google-Translate's pronunciation. XD

This is like Scooter all over again, but in this case I think Korone made the mistake, while back then, I think Korone meant a more general word for motorcycle, while the chat was overanalyzing the image she showed, which indeed was a scooter.

ah yes this was after a short missing children stream, I was there too. murice people insisted on pinwheel, while a pinwheel is just a small windmill

[@TrxPsyche]

Poor Korone is upset that we always know what something is before she tells us, but she doesn't realize it's because we know what the prop is. She wants to teach something easy so it's easy to explain, but she also wants to teach us something like we've never heard of it before. It worked out a lot easier when she was trying to teach onomatopoeia words/phrases, since they were harder to explain. Still, I hope she realizes that learning what the word is in Japanese is still very new to a lot of us, so she is in fact teaching us still.

[@GURGLEGUY12345]

_Kazaguruma_ is only spelled with two characters...?

[@GURGLEGUY12345]

Oh wait, seems it was a mistake.

[@GURGLEGUY12345]

Or...not...?

[@UrsaMinor-69]

Kazaguruma is made up of 5 sounds, or hiragana, and two seperate "words", or "concepts" as in kanji. The hiragana are: ka-za (かざ) + gu-ru-ma (ぐるま). Kaza means wind, and its kanji is 風 . Guruma (in this case) means wheel or spin, and its kanji is 車 . So kazaguruma = かざぐるま = 風車 = "wind spinner" Hope that helps! Theres a little more going on technically but i tried to keep it clear

[@jurajojo2543]

Yes, one kanji can be read with multiple syllables, but Kanji conveys meaning more than the sound (although only specific sounds are usually related to a kanji). On the other hand, there is way too many kanji. Kazaguruma = 風車 kanji for Wind and kanji for Car(often used in machinery) 車 = Kuruma = car 風 = Kaze = wind But both of these have also different pronunciations in different words, and therefore it can be read Fuusha too, changing it meaning slightly.

[@Cookiedible]

Japanese, Chinese and other languages (you probably know at least a little about how hieroglyphs worked) use ideograms. Ideograms are characters that can be used to convey a specific sound but they also have the specificity of conveying a whole concept, word, or idea (hence ideogram). Other comments above explain better the specifics than i could hope to, but for the general concept of ideogram, you actually use some without realizing even as an english speaker, the difference being that they are not part of the english language. For example a check mark is an ideogram since it is a mere symbol that represents the idea of something being completed. Another example is the crossed off red circle we all know, that by itself conveys the meaning of something being forbidden.
