How is the Kanji of 口実 related to the meaning? Perhaps the kanji stands as opposed to 事実 (with the kanji pointing to a meaning of something like = truth of the matter). Compared with 口実 (with the kanji pointing to something like = stated/spoken truth). Also the kanji 口 often pops up in words suggesting negative/deceptive speak even when the negative aspect is not obvious. E.g. 口先 lip service、口出し butting in、口答え back talk. |

Which romanization system should I use in my word game? Although I'm not a fan of the kunreishiki system and I think Hepburn is much clearer, I would agree that most Japanese are more comfortable with kunreishiki. Even though students learn about Hepburn in English lessons in Junior High School - in my experience many of the low-level students and those who don't like English (in both Junior High and High School) consistently use kunreishiki. |

How many Kanji characters are there? Perhaps 10,000 if we are talking about Chinese hanzi, but for Japanese kanji, all of the Kanji Kentei level 1 test (漢字検定) comprises "only" 6355 characters. Which is every character you can represent in Japanese on a standard computer. I'd think even the most well-read of Japanese people wouldn't recognise even 5000 characters unless they studied specifically for that purpose. |
