found some 22 different Dan's. One of the reasons that Japanese love
Kanji, despite the fact it is grammatically very, very different from
Chinese (Chinese is much closer to English with that respect) is that
Japanese has much fewer phonemes than Chinese or English, there are so
many words that have the same pronunciations (I forgot the terminology
for that...). By spelling in Kanji rather than Kana, you can tell the
difference so easily.
There is a famous sentence that goes like;
KiSha no KiSha ga KiSha de KiSha shita.
I simply have to retaliate with a piece of Finnish discussion:
- Kokoo kokoon koko kokko.
- Koko kokkoko?
- Koko kokko.
