I know that some might not see the humor in this one but I love how you delivered the one single horizontal stroke joke/fact. Thank you.

Ahhh! Now I see how the Korean use of the Chinese counting system fits in!!! I thought it was sooo random but now I see the progress and seeing the hanja character makes things fit together in my head like it didn’t before 😭😭🥺🥺 Thank you!!! Definitely my favourite KZbin channel now!! 🙌🏻🫶🏻

In Japan, 人 is often described as two people support each other when they teach children the shape of the character, and every Japanese child would respond "it's more like the taller person leaning on the shorter one🤨".

[@Matt-hc1fi]

You are doing epic work! Keep it up!

[@chanapatata4925]

Reminds me, my in-laws were having a party and I was late to this little room where the women were drinking tea. They gave me a cup of tea, and when I finished it, went to the kitchen, rinsed it out, went back to find they were reading tea leaves.

⚠️⚠️For Japanese native speaker (can speak Spanish and Portuguese) Korean and Chinese are completely different languages and each of them are more separate than Romance languages.⚠️⚠️

[@cbpostservice]

Why are there so many meanings for one character? How do they even know what they are talking about?

[@blasianking4827]

Context determines the meaning, that is, the sentence and what word these characters are used in.

[@batgirlp5561]

So fast

[@barbaradps828]

Doesn’t 人 also mean 10 in Japanese?

[@808CJK]

Hmm I don't think I've heard of that. Are you thinking of 十?
