kanji

Kanji (literally "Chinese characters) are one of the four writing systems used in modern Japanese. The other three (hiragana, katakana, and romaji) are phonetic alphabets, like the ones used in English, Italian, Spanish Greek, Arabic, etc. Kanji, on the other hand, are not phonetic, but convey a meaning, and can often be pronounced in several different ways. The kanji meaning "down" or "below" has about 10 pronunciations. ::eek:: Most kanji, however, have about 2 or 3 pronunciations. Kanji are very useful, considering how many homophones there are in Japanese. Kanji allow the reader to distinguish between two words that have identical pronunciations and completely different meanings (e.g. "Koukou" can mean "high school" or "sexual intercourse." They have the same pronunciation, but are written with different kanji.) About 2,000 kanji are used in everyday Japanese, and yes, they are a hassle to memorize, but there are certain patterns (called radicals) that appear in dozens of kanji, which makes memorization easier. (e.g. The figure that looks "like three horizontal lines on top of a square" is seen in numerous kanji, most of which have meanings that are related to speaking or reading.)

Kanji are coOoOoOol.

They should offer Japanese in more high schools.

kanosha

Kanosha is very attractive. She is the sweetest person you will ever meet. Her personality will make you want to be around her more and more. In some ways, she is addictive. She makes you feel comfortable around her, making you want to spend time and hang out with her even more. She helps others in anyway she can. She is very emotional at times, but if you screw her over you will regret it.

Ex. Kanosha is very sweet.

Kanjari

Kanjari is the female version of the Punjabi word Kanjar. If Kanjar is a pimp, Karjari is undoubtedly a prostitute.

In India, the Kanjar caste of people are best known for stealing, robbing, kidnapping, and prostituting. They also preform, sing, and dance for money.

Punjabi: "Kanjari wangu nach diyah."

English translation: "She's dancing like a Kanjari."
