So, for two weeks ago, I have been making this simple card game. Then as my language nerdiness comes over, I will try to translate them to both my target language (Arabic and Japanese).

Damn, I looked up the Kanji for "taiyou" and got 太陽. I know that the first Kanji reads "tai" and means "great", but I have no idea what the other one "you". I tried to memorize it and all I got was the capital letter Betha on the left, the Kanji "nichi" (the other Kanji for "sun") on the top right, and underneath there were a slanted capital letter T, which was connected with another capital letter T which was also connected to something which looks like pi. Also, I looked up the difference between using "taiyou" and "nichi". The only explanation showed up was "taiyou" is more "scientific" than "nichi". So, I guess I will translate "nichi" as "sun" and "taiyou" as "solar".

I looked up the meaning of both 太 (tai) and 陽 (you). This is what I got:
太 (tai) = plump, thick, big around 陽 (you) = sunshine, yang principle, positive, male, heaven, daytime So, I guess the literal meaning would be "big day", similar to the Indonesian of sun "matahari" which literally means "eye of the day" (mata = eye; hari = day). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Looking for both the Arabic and Japanese of "spoon" and "fork". The Arabic for "spoon" is "mala'qoh" and the Arabic for "fork" is "syaukkah". Neither can I connect them with any other language I know. For Japanese, they are simply their English words pronounced with Katakana. At first I was surprised, then I remembered that Japanese eat using chopsticks! There's a Kanji for "spoon", though, which read "saji". This is actually easier to remember than the Arabic one, since the word "saji" in Indonesia is usually used as "present food". I couldn't remember the Kanji, though, there was a Kanji "nichi" on it.

Trying to remember the Kanji for "saji". There's a Kanji "nichi" on the top left, below it there's a capital letter T with a small horizontal line protruding from the middle of the vertical one, below the left part of that T there's a Kanji for "hito" which has lengthened left foot and above that there's something which looks like a Katakana for "hi".

There's someone in the new forum who helped me fill in the blanks:
Thanks for Sizen. So, the Japanese word for both "table" and "chameleon" are only their Katakana pronounciation? Don't Chinese have their own word for "chameleon" using the characters of "change", "color", and "dragon"? Why don't Japanese also adapt that? What will it be? Kawairoryuu? Japanese also don't seem to distinguish between "tortoise" and "turtle" as well as "frog" and "toad". And the Japanese for "termite" simply means "white ant"? That makes sense, I guess. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Learning Arabic number words again. So, the Arabic for teen numbers are equivalent with one ten, two ten, three ten, etc. while the Arabic for the number after twenty seem to have the pattern "ones and tenths". For example:
48 = Tsamaniyyah wa arba'uun = 8 & 40 75 = Khomsah wa sab'uun = 5 + 70 49 = Tis'a wa arba'uun = 9 + 40 etc. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Learning more about numbers. So, "book" is "kitaab", "two books" is "kitaabaani", and if there are more than two books it becomes "kitaabaan". Also learnt that "hunaa" means "here", and I just realized that the line "min hunaa" in the Gransazer Arabic ending song means "from here" despite I have been listening to it for months.
