[Memorizing Characters] The Most Common Chinese Radicals Explained in English | 女字旁

[@deacudaniel1635]

I was shocked by how different 女 looks in handwriting script.It looks more like the Japanese hiragana めthan the 女 character.

[@ChineseHandwriting]

Yes very similar

[@aden5297]

hiragana was actually derived from 草書, if you’re interested i recommend looking it up because it’s really interesting!

[@deacudaniel1635]

@@aden5297 Yes I know.They took the cursive script of the characters which in middle Chinese had the sounds that resemble Japanese syllables and made their own phonetic script out of it.

[@vivianm8174]

Yes，no wonder I can't read hand written Chinese only printed Chinese.

[@danielm.4346]

@@vivianm8174. Yes, this is something else we'll have to get used to. I've found out that whether it is in the Arabic script, or in cyrillic, learning to understand sloppy handwriting is a useful skill. I always appreciate neat handwriting.

[@shiijigates12010]

The other one is similar to the Japanese alphabet "ぬ", by the way you're handwriting is really good!

[@ChineseHandwriting]

Thank you, Check the Chinese character 奴 😁

[@treanoomery1106]

Hiragana actually developed from cursive Chinese so sometimes they are quite similar, like 安 and あ

[@thesixtywalrus]

Kana developed from Chinese cursive and radicals

[@art7046]

Hirigana orriginated from the chinese "womens hand" and cursive so yeah. Hirigana is basically simplified chinese before chinese was ever simplified

[@gabrielchiavaroli2227]

水 is similar to れ!

[@ferni24]

This is so interesting! I love how the cursive and block are different but similar too, just as in latin script. Makes me realize that someone who isnt used to my writing system must get really stumped at first when reading handwritten texts. Like my sister writes her a and d almost the same, and her s is basically an i bc she doesnt curve it enough. And when im writing fast/taking notes it looks like ive only written a bunch of u,l,i and o instead of words. And as everyone else has said, your handwriting in both english and chinese is gorgeous!

[@ChineseHandwriting]

Thank you 😊

It's cool to notice that the cursive form of "女" is basically the kana "め" in Japanese (that's because hiragana derived from Chinese cursive). Beautiful, isn't it? 🤩

[@ChineseHandwriting]

Sure

[@md-ie3kw]

I really liked this video. It’s really helpful. I think that your pace is really good, you’re not too slow or too fast. And you probably hear this a lot, but your handwriting is beautiful❤️

[@blandwinde]

I'm used to writing less cursively for fear that people won't understand what I wrote. But I envy those who can write in cursive beautifully.

[@ChineseHandwriting]

Don’t worry 😉, try cursive next time 😄

[@ollieanntan4478]

I had never seen any Chinese cursive until you wrote 女 and I literally gasped. My sensibilities felt shocked! Very cool video. Thanks for posting.

[@ChineseHandwriting]

😊

[@wihatmi5510]

It's so interesting how this characters looks similiar to Japanese Hiragana. I think I now better understand how Hiragana developed. And it makes sense to write a character in the normal more complex way when you want to convey its meaning and to distinguish it from tenthousands of others while writing it in a simpler, cursive form when it's only about pronounciation. It saves a lot of time because Japanese syllables are simpler but words consist of much more syllables than in Chinese and you need much less different characters when you only represent the pronounciation. Also it makes it easier to know whether to read the meaning or just the pronounciation. Languages are fascinating and scripts too.

[@ChineseHandwriting]

any languages are beautiful. ❤️

[@sebastiangudino9377]

Yup, hiragana are a subset of the old Hentaigana. Which were kind of like a standardized form of cursive man'yogana (Those were the use of kanji as a purely phonetical system. Which was used before the invention of hiragana). Katakana also comes from this. And in many cases the characters which evolved into the same sound in hiragana and katakana were different. Which is why the two systems look so different. Here are some examples: あ comes from 安 こ comes from 己 す comes from 寸 た comes from 太 め comes from 女 に comes from 仁 And so on It's difficult to see the relationship. But when the Chinese character is written in cursive (Like how this video showcases) it becomes much more obvious

[@nashe1462]

I love you handwriting posts. Really being interested in, but , this has become a major push for me to learn.

[@ChineseHandwriting]

[@evereststevens5408]

Calligraphy and handwriting is ny main motivation for studying chinese. And as i learned in highschool japanese class, the cursive 女 is the source of hiragana me

[@ChineseHandwriting]

[@ApollonarianShy]

That's really amazing At the beginning it really seemed not OK to me, like Chinese isn't make for cursive, but ig things evolve so does Chinese writing, firstly it got simpler and then this beautiful cursive which does make sense if you learn to write them correctly you want confuse

[@wherezthebeef]

I find writing Chinese Characters (I'm just a student) I need a much thicker tip ,1mm or larger, than writing Latin letters. Even markers, as here. I have a friend who writes hanzi with a very fine tip pen, it's torture to read, 20 strokes in 3x3 mm box.. also lack of space between words gives me a headache.. hope I can adjust.

[@ChineseHandwriting]

加油

[@wherezthebeef]

@@ChineseHandwriting Ok, maybe 20 strokes in a 5x5 mm area, I exaggerated.. but you know what I mean. Seriously, as a beginner with only about 1000 words so far, lack of space between words is a challenge at this point. I guess if you're native Chinese reader, it's not a problem. Tiny fonts, fine tip pens, those kill me. Very happy you use a marker in your videos and not a fine tip pen. Thanks.

No doubt this takes a lot of skill and admirable practice, but am I the only one who has no desire to learn it? I can't see how it looks nicer. Strokes are indistinguishable. Unlike when I started writing non-cursive Chinese, I did not feel the pull of excitement to learn this. The only upside is that it's faster to write, which I don't need. I guess it depends on your specific goals.

Doubled words are common in Chinese. English has a few doubled words too (Bye bye, mama, papa, no-no, yo-yo), but Chinese has way more of them and it can be used to intensify (adjectives, verbs), to soften (verbs), for repetition (verbs), for collective forms (classifiers and nouns), as a kind of diminutive (family member nouns), etc...
