#sometimes i learn things

[majimemegoro]

Most kanji have multiple pronunciations, the Chinese (onyomi) or Japanese (kunyomi) pronunciation and there can be multiple on or kunyomi pronunciations too. Kanji can also have multiple meanings depending on the pronunciation and which other kanji they’re combined with. 寺 means Buddhist temple, the kunyomi pronunciation is tera (can also be dera in certain words) and the onyomi pronunciation is ji. I explained this best I could hope it helps <3

OH cool ! so it’s like in English, the bow that you tie, vs the bow that you give after a peformance - spelled the same, but different pronunciation and meaning! Except that because kanji dont represent sounds the same way english letters do, so the pronoounciaiton can be WAY different! awesome ! thanks for explaining.

littlemissmutant replied to your post: I will never understand tumblr’s aversion to book... I’m Jewish, I get twitchy when people cut books up, it’s a conditioned response. even though I myself have been known to make jewelry out of old, damaged books, I do so with the appropriate amount of neurotic second-guessing of my actions.

I see- that makes it make more sense to me. I've never really had that visceral reaction to book loss- I mean on some level I was aware of some religious/cultural connections to it, but I guess I never really considered it too hard.

Thank you!

Fun fact!

When an artist submits their music video to MTV, MTV reserves the right to use the song from that video on any of their shows.

Not that I was terribly present during MTV's "glory days," or at least old enough to appreciate it, but I find it so interesting that this policy overlaps the two things MTV has been known for in the past 31 years-music videos, and shitty shows.

So basically, if you don't want your song played during a Teen Mom childbirth, or a Jersey Shore breakup, avoid MTV at all costs.
