一日一歩 (ichi-nichi-ip-po) "Moving forwards, one step every day"

一 = one

日 = day

一 = one

歩 = step

This is a special kind of Japaneses idiom known as a 四字熟語 (よじじゅくご、yo-ji-juku-go), or 4-character idiom. As the name suggests, these are idiomatic phrases made of 4 kanji characters.

They often contain a small life lesson or moral message, similar to English sayings such as “you reap what you sow” and “the early bird gets the worm”.

限りなく限定的な四字熟語出てきた

韓雲孟竜

“An incredibly specific four-character idiom just popped up”

Yojijukugo (Four-character idiom):

Kan'un Mōryū（韓雲孟竜） Note: This is the Japanese pronunciation.

Reading:

Kan’un Mōryū (Japanese reading; in Chinese it would be Hányún Mènglóng)

Meaning:

This idiom refers to a male-male sexual relationship, or more broadly, male homosexuality.

"Kan" (韓) and "Mō" (孟) are personal names referring to Han Yu (韓愈) and Meng Jiao (孟郊), two literary figures from Tang dynasty China (8th–9th century CE). They were close companions who, despite differences in status, formed a deep friendship and bond. Although their relationship was not explicitly romantic, later accounts and interpretations associated it with male-male affection or intimacy.

Additionally, the characters "cloud" (雲) and "dragon" (竜) symbolically represent two beings who are mutually essential or perfectly matched—a metaphor for a powerful or fated connection.

This is a yojijukugo that I translated for fun and figured Tumblr would be interested in it.

Yojijukugo are four-character idioms in Japanese. There are many classical yojijukugo, and they are often used in everyday conversation. I decided it would be cool to try and make them with modern internet sayings in order to teach a little about Japanese vocabulary, and while I was doing that I came up with this little wallpaper.

This yoji is conformed by the following characters:

愚行　「ぐこう」: This word, pronounced "kugou", means folly or foolish acts. It seemed like an appropriate interpretation of the idea of "fucking around".

見付　「みつけ」: These kanji belong to the begining of the verb 見付ける "mitsukeru", to discover or come across something, e.g. the consequences of your actions.

I'm planning to make a lot more of these; please let me know in an ask if you have a suggestion of a phrase I should translate. I am also going to sell T-shirts on Etsy with the designs very soon. If you like it and want to support I will reblog with a link later.

Please reblog this to give it more visibility! ありがとうございます！

Fun work word today:

人海戦術

じんかいせんじゅつ

“throwing people at a problem”

(in this case, having a lot of people handle some work, rather than automating it or finding a different way to approach it)

jisho.org also gives a military-related definition of “human wave attack”, basically trying to overrun the opponent with superior numbers.

Kotowaza dan Yojijukugo - "Ungkapan Favorit Saya!"

Dan kembali lagi bersama A丸, membawakan topik yang masih berkaitan dengan pos sebelumnya: apalagi kalau bukan film hit Jepang persembahan Tsuburaya Productions, Shin Ultraman!

Kalau sebelumnya saya membahas tentang Ultraman sebagai tokoh utama, kali ini saya akan membahas tentang salah satu villain dan tokoh yang diniatkan menjadi kebalikan dari sang raksasa perak dari Planet Cahaya.

Tidak lain dan tidak bukan, Mefilas! 🥳

(Spoiler alert!)
