1 out of 10 that's worrying Sally xD 女 -> Woman 未 -> Past Basically a woman (born) before us = little sister 止 -> Stop 少 -> A little The way to memorize them is to separate them and make your own little story about each Kanji
妹 is 女 (woman)＋未 (未来's 未, means not yet), not 末 (means the last, end) (Sally/Sakura thought it was 末(すえ)). for 未, the upper horizontal stroke is shorter than the the lower one. the 未 from 妹 is basically the pronunciation indicator in Chinese, since 未 and 妹 sound similar in the old Chinese. Japanese borrowed the characters but lost partly of the pronunciations, so many of the characters are hard to explain. (女+末 is another Chinese character 妺(sounds Mo(4), the same as 末), a rare character used in women's name, for example 妺喜, a famous concubine of Xia's King Jie) 步 is simply a deformation of two footprints.(search for the picture and you will understand), 止 is originally a deformation of one footprint, and the lower 少 is actually a deformation of 止.
カタカナとひらがながあるのになんで漢字をそんなに使ってるかって気持ちはすごく同情です。I'm pretty sucky at writing kanji myself, though I can read decently... Computers have saved my life in that sense.
田中 I'm well aware of their evolution from the manyogana. The kana syllabaries make sense and are simple. Using them alone and adding spaces as in English would make Japanese one of the easiest languages to read. Adding kanji makes it one of the most difficult. Yes, there are nice aspects of the odd Japanese use of Chinese characters, but the overall effect is to raise the difficulty a lot for a small gain. Kanji is continued for historical and social reasons, not logical ones.
If you think about it, it's fascinating how Kanji is simultaneously one of the most artistically fascinating forms of writing, while also being one of the most functionally abysmal.
For those of you who aren't aware, the test she's taking is the Kanji Kentei, which is THE kanji exam native learners take to test their kanji aptitude. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji_Kentei rip sakura/sally
for you who think that remembering at least 3000 kanji is a must to live in Japan, you should see how well Sally/Sakura did her Kanji test, and yet she's doing fine living in Japan, her test is for elementary school 2nd-3rd graders in Japan 7:04 yes, that test will be an ureshii time for you, but such test is more appropriate for a certain Artificial Intelligence virtual youtuber
It's Sakura showing off she knows fewer kanji than a primary school kid (like 12yrs). Like she even got 北（きた）north, 5 strokes wrong looool. The commentary was mostly her reading the sentences and kanji.
The voice got higher pitched and higher pitched as the channel got older lol. Edit: okay I finally watched the video in full and it’s funny that she seriously was super surprised every time she got it wrong. She tried so hard lol.
Because if you wrote Hiragana and Katakana only it'll be really long japanese words, also you can misunderstood without Kanji writing Like 早い and 速い or 上る and 登る Ofc it might be not easily misunderstood based on the context, but still 頑張れ! 日本語を学ぶのは楽しいですよ
I’m a Chinese speaker from Taiwan, and it’s so funny to see her struggling to complete the kanji characters, which btw I know all of them. Well, I mean, this video shows how hard it is to ”decipher” characters from those hiraganas; even for me, as a beginner of Japanese, those kanji don’t seem to match the hiragana at first glance, I always get confused with the mandarin pronunciation. 😂😂😂
What people need to understand is that there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between reading kanji and writting kanji XD I can read several kanji but if you ask me to write down down it'd be a complete mess lol
Since I'm a Chinese, it does make me easier to learn Japanese because kanji is originate from Chinese language But sometimes I still confused about pronounciation of some kanji in Japanese lol 僕は中華系の人だから、漢字のおかげで日本語は学びやすくになった でも一部の漢字の発音はまだ混乱していますww
話し方は完璧にネイティブ日本人なのに、こんな簡単な漢字がわからないギャップが面白いです。
this entire video is a big mood kanji is hard
自らネタにしていくスタイル好き
Her logic is so hilarious, cant even fault her. Close enough, good job
発想力がすごい…あと間違えたときのリアクションがかわいい
妹って漢字をわからないなりに書こうってなった時、ノータイムで兄から類推始めるの感動した、なんか目からウロコが落ちたような感覚だ
ひとことで言うと、「かんどうした」ってことです
確かに(たしかに)漢字(かんじ)は難しい(むずかしい)ですね。
ほちゃ 若干煽ってて草

やべぇ…ここまで来るとめっちゃ可愛いw
可愛い好き。
now i want videos where both sally and the audience learn japanese bc that'd be useful
キャラデザは単純でvtuberで一番好き
I was able to memorize hiragana and kana after some weeks, but could never get far on kanji - they are just too many! Goodluck Sakura-chan.
ﾝ可愛いぃいい！！
やったー！待ってましたー！「足」の絵に爆笑ｗｗｗ
帰国子女で英語ペラペラで日本語こんだけ上手に喋れれば、漢字なんて読めなくても超優等生やろ
Thanks Sakura/Sally for making me feel better about how bad my kanji skills are! 漢字は難しいね。
逆に英検一級とかやってほしい
1 out of 10 that's worrying Sally xD
女 -> Woman
未 -> Past
Basically a woman (born) before us = little sister
止 -> Stop
少 -> A little
The way to memorize them is to separate them and make your own little story about each Kanji
レイ·ライト -Raylight
未 has the meaning of future though like mirai 未来 ? and won't a woman born before us be our elder sister?
I love sex
Well then look at it like that
The one that will born in future (woman), a little/younger sister
妹 is 女 (woman)＋未 (未来's 未, means not yet), not 末 (means the last, end) (Sally/Sakura thought it was 末(すえ)). for 未, the upper horizontal stroke is shorter than the the lower one. the 未 from 妹 is basically the pronunciation indicator in Chinese, since 未 and 妹 sound similar in the old Chinese. Japanese borrowed the characters but lost partly of the pronunciations, so many of the characters are hard to explain. (女+末 is another Chinese character 妺(sounds Mo(4), the same as 末), a rare character used in women's name, for example 妺喜, a famous concubine of Xia's King Jie)
步 is simply a deformation of two footprints.(search for the picture and you will understand), 止 is originally a deformation of one footprint, and the lower 少 is actually a deformation of 止.
but little sister is born after us tho...
when you don't understand a single thing in this video but you still enjoyed it.
kazenokaze if im not mistaken you made lewds drawing right?
^ lmao
with how your drawing style looks very Japanese, I kinda imagined you'd know the language as well, lol
Rama Kisara *rofl*
Kazenokaze I love your Digital artworks~
元気です！！
楽しかったです！✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧
カタカナとひらがながあるのになんで漢字をそんなに使ってるかって気持ちはすごく同情です。I'm pretty sucky at writing kanji myself, though I can read decently... Computers have saved my life in that sense.
Katakana and hiragana were made from kanji.

She got like 2/10 of those right ganbare sally/sakura
2? More like 1.
Adam Piskel 1.5
like 1.25 i guess 😂
ビックリした表情好き笑笑
Sally as a Voice Actor please learn the Kanji haha
How will you read fanmail otherwise?
And with that I wish ya good luck with your studies~
やっぱり漢字が高次元すぎるぜッ‼︎
ワクワク
If you think about it, it's fascinating how Kanji is simultaneously one of the most artistically fascinating forms of writing, while also being one of the most functionally abysmal.
二ヶ国語しゃべれるだけでもすごい。耳、聞く能力が高いんだね
5:45 素の声出ちゃってます！！
お疲れ様です
She not wrong but she not right neither..
頑張るねランランさん、私達と君に漢字勉強しましょうね
Keep it up Ran-Ran-san(Sally), we will learn kanji together with you as well
For those of you who aren't aware, the test she's taking is the Kanji Kentei, which is THE kanji exam native learners take to test their kanji aptitude. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji_Kentei
rip sakura/sally
カンペのくだりホンマ最高‼️
次は10級でもう一回お願いします(^O^)
"onna....ki?" WOMAN OF TREE yes
It's more like "women" and "not yet".
Sisters are the girls not married to be other man's woman.
Would it be fair to say that 70% of Sally's audience are English speakers?
very fair
Time to bust out Heisig remembering the kanji
im going to cry this is so relatable
I got like 6 right. Can't believe the WaniKani lessons I took half a year ago are paying off, lmao. The power of puns ✊
かんぺにダメ出しするの吹いた。ｗ 確かに読めるわけがないｗ
I feel kinda proud of myself knowing that I'm better than her in kanji somehow, this also inspired me to study Japanese and kanji harder, thanj
うむ、、、可愛い
考え方が頭いい人の考え方で理解しようとしてるから2年経った今は相当漢字覚えれてるだろうなぁ
for you who think that remembering at least 3000 kanji is a must to live in Japan, you should see how well Sally/Sakura did her Kanji test, and yet she's doing fine living in Japan, her test is for elementary school 2nd-3rd graders in Japan
7:04 yes, that test will be an ureshii time for you, but such test is more appropriate for a certain Artificial Intelligence virtual youtuber
Being able to read and being able to write them by hand are also two different things.
勉強ずっと教えてあげたいｗｗｗ
かわいい定期
This video makes me feel better about my kanji test.
No idea wth was going on but I enjoyed every second of it :D
it was basically sakura (or sally i guess) getting every kanji wrong
It's Sakura showing off she knows fewer kanji than a primary school kid (like 12yrs). Like she even got 北（きた）north, 5 strokes wrong looool. The commentary was mostly her reading the sentences and kanji.
いや…
可愛すぎるだろ
super kawaii
彼女は私たちに面白い話をして楽しませてくれました。I'm very pleased, please make some more video 😊😊😊
地名や難読漢字、あて字とか漢検の上の方やってみってほしいな
とくに、地名
新鮮で面白いから漢字シリーズ続けて |´･ω･`)ﾎｽｨ…
地頭（じあたま）が良く、おしゃべりとか創造性が抜群でこの状態というのが奇跡的だと思うので、どんどん吸収していく過程を表現していくべきじゃないかと．．．思ったらこれ１年前なんですね。今はどうなんでしょう。それともキャラとしてやってるのかな（それはそれですごい）。
好き
I never thought I'd be better at kanji than an idol that now lives in Japan. Holy crap.
well how do i put it...
don't beat yourself up Sal...kura
The voice got higher pitched and higher pitched as the channel got older lol. Edit: okay I finally watched the video in full and it’s funny that she seriously was super surprised every time she got it wrong. She tried so hard lol.
Because if you wrote Hiragana and Katakana only it'll be really long japanese words, also you can misunderstood without Kanji writing
Like 早い and 速い or 上る and 登る
Ofc it might be not easily misunderstood based on the context, but still
頑張れ!
日本語を学ぶのは楽しいですよ
If only hiragana (and katakana)...
すもももももももものうち。
I got to agree that kanji is hard...but still if you use it everyday なんとなく覚えることができます
す、凄い。。。www
ひらがな も カタカナ も 元は漢字からの物なので、原型が漢字だからしょうが無いですね
中国から入って来た漢字ですが、今や日本の簡略化した漢字を中国で使ってますから(常用漢字は8割方日本製らしいです)
漢字廃止するとかなり不具合があって、同じ名称で違う物の場合説明付けないと通じなくなる(「そこのはし」だと、橋なのか、箸なのか、端か解らなくなるので)
たとえば、漢字廃止した韓国(ハングルはローマ字方式、母音と子音で作ってる)では問題有り過ぎて名前以外での漢字復活させるそうです。
廃止は簡単だけど、復活は大変そうですね

土曜日土曜日同じ竹ほんと好きw
まんがーぁは素ですねw
漢字が難しすぎるのが悪い
それコメントすら読めないだろうね笑
Hi Skiing それは草

まんがー 可愛い笑
I suppose we have to give massages in English to Ranran.
I suggest the title to be Sakura’s Kanji Creation
Sally should fan translate her own videos!
Ohhh Whats the website name i want to practice this too!
Oh its kanken.jitenon.jp alright!
Definitely sympathizing here
💡！ カタカナ英語検定というのはいかがでしょう？。
躊躇いの無い漢字のバランス漢字圏以外の人には、漢字ってこう見えるのかと思いつつ、もしかしたら、漢字にとても詳しくて斬新なことをしているのではないかとも疑っています。
The last kanji Sally made up looks like "stupid" 【笨】in Chinese character LOL
What website is this?
英検やってください
土曜日土曜日同じ竹 いつ聞いても笑える
日本でも昔漢字を使わなくてもいいのではといった考え方があったそうですが、どう考えてもあった方が便利で識字率も高くなるとの事で廃止しなかったそうですね。韓国を見ていると感じがあってよかったなと思います。
安定以上の可愛さとアホらしさがふつくしい
I watched the whole video without without any idea what she’s saying
She's ranting about why Kanji exists even if Hiragana and Katakana there to begin with. lol
うんかわいい
don't mind, これ萌（も）えポイントだから
Yilin Chen 丁寧にふりがな振ってある優しさ‼️
as an American at a language school in Osaka, why kanji gotta do us bad like this?
英検やって欲しい
I liked this video although I think kanji is not hard lol
(Okay it is hard to many people sorry lol)
新漢字を考えよう！ってか！？木久扇師匠の一番弟子に推薦決定！だわ、こりゃ。
Queen of uploading the same time as TWICE
Don't worry, Sally, we all hate kanji too
Forsteri しんぱいしないで！サリー、みんなもかんじにがてだよっ！
ほんとにやって(´^д^｀)ﾜﾛﾀwww
Kanji wa muzukashii yo!!!
京まふの説明会行ったよ❗
そこで、初めてバーチャルTH-camrを知ってめっちゃくちゃ可愛かった！
あれ、もう一人って誰だっけ？
感じを考えた人がオコなのはわかるぞ！
ちょっと心配になるレベルだが可愛いからいいや
What people need to understand is that there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between reading kanji and writting kanji XD
I can read several kanji but if you ask me to write down down it'd be a complete mess lol
えっ(*゜д゜*)… 藤間さん漢字力…？？？
私もこれ「藤間さんどう言った意味で？」ってなる。
日本語の学生としてこれはすごくRelatableです
Since I'm a Chinese, it does make me easier to learn Japanese because kanji is originate from Chinese language
But sometimes I still confused about pronounciation of some kanji in Japanese lol
僕は中華系の人だから、漢字のおかげで日本語は学びやすくになった
でも一部の漢字の発音はまだ混乱していますww
陳偉歷 我也是学习中文的日本人，但是发音的混淆是烦恼的233
英語に日本語までも…凄いですね
The way you wrote 母 tho LOL
