There is an ancient book in the Korean Museum that says: South Korea has no characters, and China lends Chinese characters to South Korea. Koreans can't understand them, but they treat them as treasures, hahah! There are complete archaeological records about Dongyi in China. Ancient historical documents: Dongyi has nothing to do with today's South Korea. There are cultural relics in the South Korean Museum, the North Korean Museum, and the Chinese Museum. It is recorded that the ancestors of the South Koreans are Chinese. Jizi, the South Koreans can't understand, but they talk nonsense on the Internet
@@JohnWilson-q3t Korea has Hangul, and even before Hangul was created, Koreans developed a unique writing system using Korean-styled Chinese characters, like Idu, as part of their language. What you’re saying disregards the natural exchange of script and culture and the unique development of a linguistic system. This can be inferred from King Sejong’s Hunminjeongeum (훈민전음) preface, which begins, “The language of the country differs from that of China.” The term Dongyi (東夷) you mentioned was a broad term used in ancient East Asia to refer to various ethnic groups, and the groups it referred to differed depending on the era and region. Therefore, Dongyi doesn’t necessarily have no relation to Korea, nor does it exclusively refer to Koreans. What you’re claiming is not academically sound. Initially, Dongyi was a way of looking down on other ethnic groups. Saying that Koreans' ancestors were Chinese is also incorrect. The Han Chinese (漢族) and the Samhan people (三韓族) were clearly distinct ethnic groups. The Korean people originated from a fusion of the Yemaek people, who lived in southern Manchuria and northern Korea, and the Samhan tribes, who lived in the southern Korean peninsula. Therefore, what you’re saying is neither academically nor historically accurate. I’m not sure if you’re just uninformed or brainwashed, but here we have a saying: "Turns out, the country you insulted was your own." This is for you. You're a clueless, ignorant person in a group of fools, too foolish to even fact-check. Thank you.

i noticed the friends who were higher in age were faster to respond! it made me think of the drama reply 1988 where a lot of the newspapers still were written partly in hanja :,) thank you for the video!
Excellent street interview!!! I wasn't really surprised that the older participants read 한자 very well and the younger participants had a harder time as I've heard 한자 lessons in school aren't always required. I have the TTMIK Hanja book and would LOVE if there was a volume 2. I find learning 한자, even if I can't write it myself, really does help me learn new vocabulary and pick up on new Sino-Korean words.
한자 is not chinese character. Hanja should be Eunja, it was first invented during the Eun/Shang dynasty which is not related to China. People founded Eun/Shang dynasty was Donyi-people which is not Han chinese
@@jwp-yh8wh By your logic the Latin alphabets(and a million other writing systems) should be called the Egyption alphabets or something. Sure, the oracle bone scripts are from the Shang dynasty, but it's an ancestral system to what we call Chinese characters nowadays, not the system itself.
I find studying 한자 useful for learning Korean vocabulary because it makes the vocabulary so much less arbitrary and easier to remember, but reading and writing the Chinese characters isn't necessary.
Not necessary in lower level, but in higher level, all languages need huge amount of nouns to identify the meaning, Korean speakers have no choice but to borrow it from other languages.
@@Yarxk-j7w In fact, Korean can also create new words without borrowing Chinese characters, using only pure Korean words. North Korea is even more enthusiastic about this than South Korea. However, the primary reason Chinese characters remain prevalent lies in their efficiency. Each character carries at least one meaning, allowing for concise two- or three-letter words. Conversely, pure Korean terms often require several letters to convey meaning, leading to longer, sometimes five- or six-letter words, which can be cumbersome for everyday use.
Studying hanja is something like studying Latin and Greek roots for English. I think it's interesting that Korean has incorporated multiple language streams into their beautiful language
@@jyoo6025 you're right 👍▶️. English was structured on top of graga and Latin linguistics British archeology has already proved this 5 years ago Cambridge and Oxford has no more controversy in this no, the evil of people is the negationism and unmotivated ignorance.
@@_Just_Another_Guy And Korean is not related to Chinese. But because Classical Chinese was the language of prestige in East Asia, much like Latin and Greek were in Europe, Korean absorbed a lot of Chinese loan words. Same with Japanese and Vietnamese. We all used to write in Chinese characters, but Koreans abandoned it.
That's the magic of it. Ancient Chinese and Korean and Japanese and Vietnamese communicate with each other through Chinese characters. They speak differently but they understand the same type of writing. Even among different Chinese groups, they speak a different dialect/language yet still uses the same writing @@stargirl7646
80년대 생입니다. 아주 어렸을땐 신문에 절반은 한자였던걸로 기억합니다. 가, 은, 는 등 조사를 빼면 읽을수 있는게 없는 정도의 제목도 있었죠. 제가 느끼기엔, 예전엔 영어에 비해 한자를 잘 읽고 쓰는게 지성인(?) 으로 받아들여 졌다면, 지금은 영어가 대체한것 같네요. 나온 한자들이 비교적 쉬운편이라 저도 절반정도는 맞춘것 같고, 앞뒤에 한글이 있어서 문맥을 알 수 있으면 예상으로 맞추기 더 수월했던것 같네요. 한국인들도 한자는 쓸줄 모르지만, 뜻을 예상만 하는 경우도 많은것 같아요. 흥미로운 영상 잘 봤습니다😃
I'm French and I'm 56. I have been learning Korean since almost 3 years. I was really surprised and impressed by young people who could read Hanja. I remember their advice: learning Hanja would help foreign people to learn and understand Korean easier. I'll ask my 한국어 선생님. 감사합니다 TTMIK❤
In the ancient Korea (Chaoxian朝鮮 , Real historical name - Chinese territory before 1910). It was two different ethnic groups. 1.Chinese (Han Ethnic)(Wear color and pattern clothes) - Ruler and nobleman 2. Korean (White Clothes Ethnic)( Wear white clothes without pattern) - Civilians and slaves 1.Chinese - Ruler and nobleman (Goguryeo , Baekje, Silla , Goryeo, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..): Chinese local officials and nobles (royal members, monks, scholars, soldiers, architects, technicians, and their families ...). They are Chinese (Han) and their descendants born in the local area. They have always wore China in China costumes. They speak Chinese language (official and Han dialect) and Chinese characters. They are Chinese officials and represent the Chinese emperor's governance of the ancient Korean Peninsula (朝鮮). Local Chinese officials (Chaoxian king朝鮮王) and Chinese nobles in ancient Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮-Chinese territory). They all Chinese clothes (hanfu), headdress (hat and crown), silk cloth (including embroidery), soldiers (such as: defensive clothing, horses). Weapons (including cannons), Chinese literature books (including Chinese history, Taoism Buddhism), Chinese special architectural materials (including palaces and design paintings). Food materials (Chinese food and Chinese royal food), wooden wheels used, large military ships, etc. are made from other cities in China). Among them, the Chinese royal's (Chaoxian king /officials and nobles) Hanfu comes from Chinese han clothes, opera clothing, and hat crown headwear. Therefore, the fabric on the clothes is high -level. There are a large number of Chinese official dragon patterns and various traditional Chinese patterns (including Chinese characters) on the clothes. 2. Korean - Civilians and slaves (Goryeo, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..only appeared in history after the 13th century): Civilians and slaves are indigenous Koreans (White Clothes Ethnic白衣民族). They speak Korean language. Long -term banned learning and use of Chinese characters 漢字(except a few descendants of mixed with Chinese people). Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. In ancient times, this was a beheading and destroyer. * Chinese patterns and Dragon's totem represents the symbol of the ancient Chinese and Chinese power. Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. Only the Chinese royal family and senior officers can use it. If the "White clothes Ethnic 白衣民族" (today's ancestors of Koreans) use the pattern of dragon and use Chinese characters. They will destroy the tribe and beheaded. Korean characters韓字 are text used by slaves. Ancient Korean can only use Korean characters (after the 15th century. Chinese officials - Chaoxian king and Chinese scholars who settled on the Chaoxian朝鮮 . Chinese officials use Chinese characters and Korean language to create "Korean characters韓字 ".) for slaves. These low Korean soldiers are used to protect the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島(Chinese territory) to prevent Japanese pirates from invasion. In ancient Korea (Chaoxian朝鮮 ) does not have any technologies and processes such as metal , Bend the wood and dye embroidery patterns. Most Korean men became low -level soldiers in the Chinese army (under the command of Chinese officers). There is no armor. Korean only wear pure white clothes and korean women's clothing is exposed nipples (Hanbok - Features of traditional Korean clothes).Westerners Record photos. All Korean women use their heads to move anything (similar to other primitive tribal culture). Korean houses are cottage built with grass (only Chinese can live in Chinese palaces and temples). Korean people earn food in the market concentrated on exchanging items. They do not have any coins and any metal things. South Korea's national culture and tools for use are very primitive. Writing history is the tradition and habit of the ancient Chinese official . The history of the ancient Korean Peninsula was written by classical Chinese. This was read for the Chinese and must be approved for the Chinese emperor. This is a record and governance story of Chinese officials and nobles on the ancient Korean Peninsula. Anceint japan (before 13th century )= 東瀛 & 扶桑 & 倭 . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record) Today japan = 日本 Anceint korea= 朝鮮 (and 高包麗. 百濟. 新羅. 王氏高麗. 李氏朝鮮) . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record) Today korea = 韓國(南北) Anceint Nonth Vietnam= 交趾 . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record) Today Vietnam = 越南 Anceint Okinawa= 琉球. (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record) Today Okinawa = 沖繩
The history of Japan and Koreans propaganda is serious fraud (all ancient tombs and cultural relics, and they have never been disclosed to study international experts). Their fake history is promoted by themselves to the outside world. Japan's denies that Nanjing massacre南京大屠殺 . Korea denies that real Hanbok(Traditional clothing) is white and a Korea woman clothing 's show nipples and woman moving things with her head (Historical photos taken by Westerners) before 1910. Korean people have made a lot of fake black & white historical photos. Not announce the real history out. And control a lot of network fake information. Because modern Japanese and Koreans want to seize a large number of Chinese tombs and cultural relics unearthed (more than 2000 years ago) in Japan and Korea (including local historical records written by local Chinese). They fabricated a large number of fake Japanese and Korean history and cultural propaganda. Let all foreigners think that Japan and ancient Korea have been strong and independent countries since ancient times (gain more foreigners worship. Create more fake historical proofs, such as: adapting textbooks/animation/historical TV series ....). They use many Chinese history and culture as publicity as their history and culture. Nuclear brainwashing citizens and all foreigners (through the United States to suppress China's right to speak and influence, support the influence and fake information promotion of Japan and South Korea.), Including brainwashing, many young Chinese people have been brainwashed. --------------------------- After the World War II, the Japanese proposed the so -called "Chinese character cultural area 漢字文化圈". Promoting "ancient Japanese" uses Chinese characters 漢字 and Classical Chinese 文言文 (including Chinese culture). They promoted the "Tang Dispatched personnel 遣唐使" as ancient Japanese. They study culture and technology in China. Koreans promoted that ancient Korea was an independent country. Their king and nobles were Korean but used Chinese (but real history , Korean king regarded Korean characters as slaves characters) and they wearing Chinese clothes (hanfu). Promoted that Ancient Korean can entering and leaving China. They go to China to learn all Chinese cultures (EX: Chinese Palace Design ). This is a huge lie in itself. Now Vietnam also uses the same method to make a history of fake history. There is no record of any history. The ancient Chinese official have taught Chinese characters漢字 (classical Chinese文言文) and various Chinese technologies (including Chinese architecture, Palace Design and weapon technology) to "ancient Japanese and Korean" (ancient Chinese call them "barbarians").If this is true, it is a huge international historical event. There will definitely be a detailed historical record. Ancient Chinese emperor could not do this (provide all Chinese characters漢字 and various technologies to the any barbarians). Chinese characters 漢字communicate with the ancient Chinese peoples (different Han dialects ). It is also an important message characters / texts for ancient Chinese official documents. A huge country like China. Let the "barbarians (non-Han peoples非漢人)" know the official Chinese information. It is a very dangerous thing (including Chinese clothes- hanfu and Chinese technology). In ancient times, the Chinese emperor only needed to send a group of Chinese elites and soldiers (in the later period, a number of Han women漢女 would be moved to the local area). The Chinese elites go to barbaric areas such as Japan and Korea. They establish a Chinese regime in barbaric areas (Chinese territory - the Chinese emperor will name the name of China in this barbaric region) . This is also the practice that ancient Chinese officials used to occupy the place.

TTMIK 진심으로 감사합니다! 저는 러시아에서 온 한국어 선생님입니다. 대학교에서 한국학을 전공했는데 그동안 한국어를 배우면서 한자도 배웠어요. 한자를 배웠기 때문에 새로운 단어를 외우는 걸 더 쉬워졌어요. 굉장히 유용하고 도움이 됐어요. 어제는 제 학생과 수업을 했는데 학생한테 기본 한자를 배우는게 어떻게 필요한지 설명했어요. 이제 제 의견을 더 강하게 만들기 위해 TTMIK 영상을 보낼 거예요 ㅎㅎ

its interesting how they got 幸 and 辛 confused! the written characters are quite similar looking. as a cantonese speaker, we use Chinese script as well, so I get the mixed up too, even if they sound different. its also cool to see how so many hanja are pronounced similarly to cantonese! 幸hang6 and 辛san1 感gam2 約joek3 束cuk1 what was really interesting is that because as a person who uses Chinese characters in my daily life, seeing these familiar korean words in their hanja form really gives the word another meaning, such as "sorry" literally translated to "not at rest", "hello" into "peace and tranquil", "plans" into "promises". wonderful video! thank you so much! definitely going to be very useful/advantageous to learn korean-hanja words!
約束 also means "promise" in Korean, it just depends on the context. "約束 時間에 커피숍에 到着했는데, 그女는 아직 오지 않았어요." "I've arrived at coffee shop the promised/agreed upon time, but she still hasn't come yet."
Chinese was brought to Korea centuries ago, so they kept the older sayings, we don't use them in Chinese today, interesting how phrases have changed over time, even though you can still understand it
Since both Cantonese and Hanja are keeping old Chinese pronunciation, Hanja and Cantonese have more similarity than Hanja and Mandarin. This is why Hanja sounds more similar to Cantonese than Mandarin.
일본인 한국어 학습자입니다. 확실히 일본이 한자를 쓰는 나라라서 제가 한국어 단어를 외울 때 한자를 알고 있으니까 이해하고 외우기가 엄청 쉬웠습니다. 일본어로 발음이 같은 한자에 경우 한국어 발음도 같은 경우가 대부분입니다. (ex:者, 社 두개 다 ’sha‘-> 사 ) 그래서 모르는 한국어 단어가 있어도 발음에서 한자를 유추해 뚯을 이해하기가 가능합니다. 한자를 원래 알고 있는 학습자들은 막연하게 공부하기보다 그 지식을 활용하면서 학습하는 걸 추천합니다.
Although I am a Japanese who knows neither Korean nor Chinese, I was surprised to find that Korean is much closer to Japanese pronunciation than I expected. 父母 say "fubo" in Japanese. Upon examination, the Chinese pronunciation is similar to "humu".
actually, Japanese pronounciation is so similar with Korean, not Korean pronounciation is so similar with Japanese. Korean ancient people originated Hanja to Japan.
가방, 가족, 만족 등도 일본어 발음이 비슷하죠. 좋으나 싫으나 한국 일본은 서로 영향을 많이 받았습니다. 일본 정부가 제대로 교육을 안 시켜서 문제지요. 지금은 모르겠지만 예전에는 한국이 분단국가인 것 조차 제대로 모르는 일본인들이 많았습니다. 지금도 일본의 10대 청소년들이 알까요?
Thanks for very interesting video! I’m Korean Japanese and I learned Korean at Korean school in Japan. In Japan, people use 한자 in daily life. I can say 한자 makes me to keep my Korean skill even though I live in Japan. I know how to read 한자 in Korean so I can guess the Korean meaning what I don’t know. I found it from this video. Also I get big motivation to study Korean language!
I must say, being bilingual in English and Chinese has made learning Korean much quicker for me over the years. Especially when picking up vocab with Hanja roots, I can link Korean words with the Chinese equivalents and remember the meanings.
@@shuu-wasseoSome pronunciations are close. For example, the ‘u’ in French is similar with sound ‘ü’ in Mandarin Chinese, ‘a’ in French is also same… Secondly, we both have many tones in languages. My mother tongue Wu (Shanghainese was involved ) has over 7 tones, mandarin Chinese has five tones (ā á ǎ à a), so we keep habits of memorizing each tones while learning a new language
I loved this video! I learnt around 7-8 new vocab related to learning languages and Korean education history, just from this video! I also enjoyed the perspectives of Koreans of different age groups :) Thank you for encouraging us by saying that Korean is tricky even for native speakers, I feel so relieved and motivated that I am not stupid or slow to pick up Korean to the fluency level I desire to have 🥹 "저도 못 해요!“ is a funny, cute and encouraging comment all in one! ❤

As a Japanese who understands Korean, I think Korean writing system is much more rational and systematic than Japanese. If you write Hanja word only in your letters, that would be Hanja: 大韓民國大統領 Hangeul: 대한민국대통령 Hiragana:だいかんみんこくだいとうりょう The number of Hiragana letters doubles of original, but Korean doesn't change. So using only Hangeul is much reasonable.
I am quite curious how Japanese talk about countries' names in daily life. Do you say こりあん or はんごく? ちな(which it's a cursing word to Chinese I guess?) or ちゅうごく?
@@erichuanp Normally we just say 韓国（かんこく） and 中国（ちゅうごく）. If you say 支那（しな）in Japan, People would think you are the extreme right-wing or just a racist.
The very first Hanja I could remember - but in Japanese (I didn't know the Korean pronunciation)! I began learning Japanese long ago, and it helps me remember Korean words of Chinese origin. I can link a Korean pronunciation to the Japanese one, or vice versa.
The Hanja pronunciation sometimes sounds like Cantonese, and sometimes sound like Mandarin, yet sometimes sounds like half cantonese and half mandarin (esp when it comes in 2 words). I know Cantonese and Mandarin so the I can pick out the sounds.
It sounds like Hokkien or Fujian language. that's because the people fled during the Song dynasty from the Northern China down to the southern coastal region. The Korean pronunciation of 感谢 sounds like the same way it is pronounced as"Gam Si-ah" in Hokkien.
This is really interesting to me. I am a native English speaker but have studied Japanese for 20 years and learned basic Mandarin Chinese as a very young kid. So for me, it's so helpful knowing which Hanja correspond to Korean words when I'm learning Korean. I know all 3 of those languages do differ in the usage of the Chinese characters, but even having a bit of context from any of them can be a huge help in associating meanings. I feel like knowing Japanese already gave me a head start on a ton of very similar vocabulary, and I can even guess a lot of Korean words based on context, after just learning a bit of the grammar. Following along with the video, "promise" and "thanks" were so easy, even as a new Korean learner, due to this. I think I'd agree with those in the video who said if you already know the characters, it can definitely aid your learning, because that's been my experience so far. (Although, as I'm not a native Japanese or Chinese speaker, I do have the cursed situation where I see new words written in Chinese characters now and I end up reading them the Korean way sometimes, despite being in a Japanese or Chinese sentence context... Gotta be careful haha...)

So far, now I learned one Hanja meaning "tomorrow" which is 來日【láirì】the same meaning as 내일, but in modern Chinese, we say 明天【míngtiān】as in the word "tomorrow." In addition, I have been studying Korean for over 5 years including at college and online self-study. I also self-study linguistics and many other languages as my hobby, so I'm 100% a language enthusiast. I would definitely recommend other Korean learners and beginners to utilize your resources for them to hone their Korean skills!
Hi! I’m an overseas Chinese too but can’t read, write or speak very well. Is Hanja similar to traditional Chinese? Can all Chinese read Hanja well in this case if they are familiar with traditional Chinese characters?
@@hermione5330 Even if you are not familiar with the traditional character, knowledge of simplified character will somehow help. I can understand all those words, but pronunciation will be in Mandarin. Interestingly, the pronunciation some words sound like Cantonese. I think the Japanese and Korean pronunciation are closer to Cantonese (which is older than Mandarin) or sometimes even Hokkien ones.
@@hermione5330 im overseas Chinese too, Korean Hanja and Japanese Kanji are mostly kept Chinese words from ancient time , but some Japanese kanji are modernized for time being , 80% of Chinese modern Kanji characters are from Japanese Kanji such as 电话，银行，警察局，沙发，电视机，杂志even the chinese government party name 共产党 also from japanese kanji , so they all kept in Chinese language syetem nowadays
Korean and Japanese preserve classical or ancient Chinese vocabularies in their languages. For example, the names of the days of the week are based on the five-element theory. We also do not say 曜日 in Modern Chinese anymore.
being able to read and write hanja makes learning korean a lot easier. There are just so many words that sound and mean the same. i also realized as of late that japanese language also share a lot of similar sounding/meaning words with hangeul.
if you want to understand the Chinese roots of Korean and Japanese, study the ancient and current Shanghainese language, you will see a lot of dimillarity and depth between the three
@@SinilkMudilaSama shanghainese accent is too heavy for my intermediate level. Lol. I am ok with the traditional mandarin (taiwan), it's what had been taught in school back in my days
As a Japanese, most quizzes are very easy expect for 1:51😮 I realize what Hanja you use, but "tomorrow" is 明日(Ashita) in Japanese. 來日 means "to come to 🇯🇵" in Japanese, and we use this Hanja "来" instead "來". Of course both Hanja are same meaning, but it's different a way to write. That's interesting😎
I absolutely loved this! I was impressed with the youngsters! I'm actually in Seoul now studying so I will pick up your hanja book before starting level 4 studies 🎉
한국어를 공부하는데 한자는 필요없고 시간낭비입니다. 한국인 95%이상이 한자를 알지 못하고 점점 더 배척하는 중입니다. 한국에서 한자를 잘 아는 사람은 한국인이 아닌 외국인일 확률이 높습니다. 한국인한테 한자 10개를 쓰라고 했을 때 제대로 쓸 수 있는 사람 5%도 안 됩니다. 중국과 일본과의 관계가 좋지 않기 때문에 점점 더 한자를 싫어하고 배척하는 경향성이 짙어지고 있습니다.
I started learning Hanja in university last year and it has helped me understand the Korean language a lot. I think if you want to have a better insight in the meaning of Korean words and phrases learning Hanja is really good. Also I think it's fun to learn how to write the older Chinese charakters😅
한자어를 아는 것과 한자를 아는 건 다른 문제인거 같음. 한자어를 아는건 한국어 하는것에 도움이 되겠지만, 한자까지는 그게 필요한 사람만 외우면 되는거라고 봅니다.한자를 볼일이 거의없죠. 신분확인에서 조차 한자를 요구하지 않는곳도 있는데요 뭘.. 심지어 요즘은 한자어의 쓰임도 익숙치 않은 세대가 출현하면서 쓰이지 않으면 점점더 한자어가 상식범주에서 탈락되게 되는 흐름까지 오게된 순간이 아닌가 합니다. 물론 모든 한자어가 그런건 아니지만, 예전보다는 범주밖으로 탈락하고있는 한자어들이 많이 늘었죠.
Out of all the youtube channels I've seen about the Korean language, your channel appears to be the most honest and I am thankful for that. So many times I see people on youtube say something like "Learning Korean is so easy!" but it isn't as easy as they claim.
As a Taiwanese whose mother tongue is Mandarin, I always find it fascinating how Chinese characters( Hanja, or Kanji) work when communicating with Hong Kong friends. We speak different language but share similar writing system
As a Cantonese speaker, I've noticed that many Korean words have roots in Chinese. As a Chinese user, I can often discern the Chinese origin of Korean pronunciations as soon as I hear them. However, I still find it fascinating to learn new things here. For instance, the Korean word "안녕" (which means "Hello") actually comes from the Chinese word "安寧" (which means "peace"). The way languages spread and evolve is truly captivating. 🌏🗣
Its really interesting as a student of Japanese hearing the korean pronunciation of Hanja being so close to the Japanese pronunciation of the same Kanji (because they come from chinese pronunciation of course)
As a korean, definitly agree. It make feel easy to study japanese. I can say example about this instantly, pronunciatuon of TIME in japanese is 'Zikan' (if i'm not wrong) and the one in korean is 'Sigan'.
I'm studying Korean as my 3rd language. Coming from learning Japanese and having a basic understanding of Chinese, knowing Hanja can be SOOOO helpful for relating it to Japanese or Chinese meaning rather than trying to relate it to an English meaning. Hanja does come from Hanzi after all.
@@user-ni3ti9oj5d You mean Shang dynasty? I just googled it only says it's Chinese and the map shows it's in China. Unless you meant your country was based on Ancient China that only makes sense. I doubt your country has a different google/history than the rest of the world.
@@miffysawyer3062 I'm from Korea and I've never heard in my life that Shang dynasty is a part of ancient Korean history. In our Korean history classes, we regard Gojoseon (from 2333 BC to 108 BC, though the year slightly depends on mythological origins) as our first nation.
My inner love for etymology is screaming in happiness watching the video. Comparing the chinese words used between Vietnam, Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan is fascinating.
As a person whose mother tongue is Cantonese, it’s definitely an advantage for me when learning Korean. I’d still say I don’t speak or listen well, but I read very well as I know a lot of vocabularies because of Hanja. It helps me understand the language so much easier when I read Hangul.
@@jkid4855 Go study more kid. The Chinese language is a big family tree that consists of Mandarin (the official language of Mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore...) and many other dialects like Cantonese (Hong Kong, Macau), Shanghainese (Shanghai), Hokkien (Fujian, Taiwan)...
@@blue-d4g All the East Asian nations have been greatly influenced by or derived from the Middle Han Chinese language...The reason why Mandarin sounds different than others is that it was the youngest member that emerged and slowly evolved under the influence of minority ethnic groups in Ancient China like Mongolians and then Manchurians...since the Yuan dynasty (13th century)
This video was so interesting! My Korean teacher didn't teach 한자 with the actual Chinese characters but she would often explain the connections between the syllables in Korean words, as the people who were interviewed were pointing out. And I have to be honest, oftentimes I was like: "Why do I have to learn these? I won't remember anyways" lol 🙈 But this actually made me appreciate her explanations more. I will take them more serious in the future! Also: all of the people seemed so lovely and their messages at the end really encouraged me a bit, so thank you ❤️😊
Great interview🎉 I think for Chinese the Korean vocab part is definitely easier, like knowing Greek and Latin roots for Indo-European languages. What's hard is the grammar, after all Chinese and Korean belong to different language families. Really enjoy learning grammar, it's like brain gymnastic 😊
As someone who is learning Korean and lived in Korea I find that Hanja is used a lot still and learning it is very helpful! For example on menus you still see "large" written in Hanja instead of in Hangeul. I feel like it would just not stand out as much to my eyes if it were in Hangeul. One other common example that globally people know is Shin Ramen! Shin ramen has shin written in Hanja instead of Hangeul. If shin were written in Hangeul I wouldn't immediately understand it is referring to spicy.

It was interesting, but not surprising, I talked to many Korean people and told me the same. Only for those who study at higher level need knowing hanja.

Thanks for sharing such an informative video!

이번 컨텐츠에서 물어본 한자들, 한글로도 무슨뜻인지 다 아는 단어들 입니다. 한글은 표음문자이기에 굳이 한자를 알지 못하더라도 문맥에 따라서 의미를 알 수 있습니다. 한자공부 하면 여러모로 도움이 되긴 하겠지만, 한글, 한국어를 배우는데 있어서 한글은 표음문자로서의 한글로 그대로 인식하고 배우면 된다고 생각합니다. 라틴어 안배우고 영어공부하는 것 처럼 말이죠. 한자는 일본어, 광동어 배우는 사람들이 필요에 의해서 배우면 되는것 아닐까요?
Hanja to me is a very important element in my korean vocabulary learning process. And it is like some of the interviewees had mentioned, some of the words in hangul are phonetically the same, and seeing their hanja (esp for sino-korean words) helps so much with understanding rather than rote memorisation (which i hate). Though I'm already fluent in chinese in the first place and also having learnt Japanese for over 10 yrs so relying on hanja just comes naturally.
The history of Japan and Koreans propaganda is serious fraud (all ancient tombs and cultural relics, and they have never been disclosed to study international experts). Their fake history is promoted by themselves to the outside world. Japan's denies that Nanjing massacre南京大屠殺 . Korea denies that real Hanbok(Traditional clothing) is white and a Korea woman clothing 's show nipples and woman moving things with her head (Historical photos taken by Westerners) before 1910. Korean people have made a lot of fake black & white historical photos. Not announce the real history out. And control a lot of network fake information. Because modern Japanese and Koreans want to seize a large number of Chinese tombs and cultural relics unearthed (more than 2000 years ago) in Japan and Korea (including local historical records written by local Chinese). They fabricated a large number of fake Japanese and Korean history and cultural propaganda. Let all foreigners think that Japan and ancient Korea have been strong and independent countries since ancient times (gain more foreigners worship. Create more fake historical proofs, such as: adapting textbooks/animation/historical TV series ....). They use many Chinese history and culture as publicity as their history and culture. Nuclear brainwashing citizens and all foreigners (through the United States to suppress China's right to speak and influence, support the influence and fake information promotion of Japan and South Korea.), Including brainwashing, many young Chinese people have been brainwashed. --------------------------- After the World War II, the Japanese proposed the so -called "Chinese character cultural area 漢字文化圈". Promoting "ancient Japanese" uses Chinese characters 漢字 and Classical Chinese 文言文 (including Chinese culture). They promoted the "Tang Dispatched personnel 遣唐使" as ancient Japanese. They study culture and technology in China. Koreans promoted that ancient Korea was an independent country. Their king and nobles were Korean but used Chinese (but real history , Korean king regarded Korean characters as slaves characters) and they wearing Chinese clothes (hanfu). Promoted that Ancient Korean can entering and leaving China. They go to China to learn all Chinese cultures (EX: Chinese Palace Design ). This is a huge lie in itself. Now Vietnam also uses the same method to make a history of fake history. There is no record of any history. The ancient Chinese official have taught Chinese characters漢字 (classical Chinese文言文) and various Chinese technologies (including Chinese architecture, Palace Design and weapon technology) to "ancient Japanese and Korean" (ancient Chinese call them "barbarians").If this is true, it is a huge international historical event. There will definitely be a detailed historical record. Ancient Chinese emperor could not do this (provide all Chinese characters漢字 and various technologies to the any barbarians). Chinese characters 漢字communicate with the ancient Chinese peoples (different Han dialects ). It is also an important message characters / texts for ancient Chinese official documents. A huge country like China. Let the "barbarians (non-Han peoples非漢人)" know the official Chinese information. It is a very dangerous thing (including Chinese clothes- hanfu and Chinese technology). In ancient times, the Chinese emperor only needed to send a group of Chinese elites and soldiers (in the later period, a number of Han women漢女 would be moved to the local area). The Chinese elites go to barbaric areas such as Japan and Korea. They establish a Chinese regime in barbaric areas (Chinese territory - the Chinese emperor will name the name of China in this barbaric region) . This is also the practice that ancient Chinese officials used to occupy the place.
I think Hanja are really useful for being able to guess words. However I think remembering what the character looks like and even more so how to draw it, has only very limited benefits and your time would be better spent learning something else. As the younger responders in the video mentioned learning Hanja like this is also quite unfun. But unfortunately this seems to be the focus of too many Hancha courses. For knowing that 학 in a word stands for study, if the context is about learning, knowing what a chinese character looks like is not necessary.
I did not know young generations can still recogonize Hanja. As a chinese just started learning Korean, I am trying to connect the words to Chinese and it makes things a bit easier. But comparing to Japnanese the words are still quite difficult to remember
Ah, I understood most of them instantly. I did know Hanja before learning Korean and it was incredibly helpful. I just learned the Hangeul reading of the Hanja and automatically knew half of the vocabulary I came across. However if you dont know Hanja it makes little sense to learn it only for Korean. It's too difficult and takes too long which is why Koreans abolished it. It would be very useful to have a tutorial of the 100 most used Hanja used in Korean with their meaning and Korean Hangeul pronunciation. Like 日 일 sun, day.

Among the young and younger koreans, it is more than what i had expected but those born in the early 1960s and before are not going to surprise me for being proficient in Hanja ❤
In early 90s a group of Korean scholars visiting a cultural centre of my city in Taiwan. They scripted their names in hanja calligraphy by using writing brush. All of them were so damn good at writing beautiful calligraphy.
Very interesting series. Thank you! I imagine that learning hanja is similar to understanding Latin root words. My mother insisted I learn Latin. It means that while reading texts both in English (as well as Spanish or Italian) I can often figure out the meaning of unknown words. I’ll have to work on my hanja skills. I can only recognize door and child. 😅
Not Emperor, King Sejong 'the Great.' Sejong's father was the High King(上王), and Sejong's uncle was the Great High King(太上王) But Sejong was never an Emperor.
As a Chinese Singaporean, this is quite surprising and ironic to me. To my surprise, I thought Koreans didn't know how to read Chinese characters. Ironically, most Singaporean Chinese today do not know their mother tongue and can't read Hanja. I think I should share this video with them to embarrass them. Btw, great video.
The first language of Singaporeans is English. If Singaporeans don’t learn Chinese, what is your second language? Malay, French, Spanish? Or Singaporeans don’t need to learn a second language in school?
@@scru6720 ehem sorry, which Singaporean are you referring to? chinese? Malay? indian? if a chinese person like me, of course chinese is my first language (i speak cantonese) then english is the second. as well as other Singaporeans of different ethnicities. in the context of my comment above, i said that nowadays many young generation chinese people are very bad in our mother tongue and bad they are proud of it. so, I don't understand your reply.
Etymology is fascinating to me. I cannot write or read most Hanja, but I have studied the meanings and associated vocabulary. If I learn a new vocab word, I alwaus check the Hanja.
Hanja is such a beautiful cultural heritage that should be shared and celebrated by all East Asians! I once learned a story from a Sinology course that a Korean in 17th or 18th century encountered a storm on the sea, and he fell off into the water. He ended up floating to southern China, and although he did not speak a word of any Chinese dialect, he communicated with pen with Chinese people and managed to go all the way to Beijing and eventually back to Korea!

Koreans really have to be thankful to the great King Sejong for inventing hangeul, which leads us to not use hanja on a daily basis anymore. I've been studying Japanese, and kanji really makes me want to stop, like, I can understand what I hear, but don't understand what I read, imagine that struggle 😢
@jies2811 goshh, do u have to be so hateful? Koreans teach their children in school about hanja coming from Chinese characters, and even adapted it to some systems called Sino-Korean, which means we admitted that it is not purely korean. No one's stealing from you, calm down..

The old gentleman is so warm and cheerful when he tries to encourage foreigners to learn his language through trying to speak in a foreign language (in this case is English)!❤❤❤❤ really respect him!!
Korean was written in mixed Hanja-Hangul until around 1970s I believe. That probably explains why the elderly did better in the quiz. Today there are still traces of Hanja usage in Korea, such as 辛라면 and the title of newspapers like 朝鮮日報(조선일보, lit. Korean daily).

I'm a Korean learner from Japan. Hanja contains much knowledge. Abandoning hanja is the same as abandoning knowledge. I think Korea should revive hanja.
Let me write in Japanese instead of un_chi. 「日本の韓国語学習者です。漢字は沢山の知識を含んでいます。漢字放棄は知識の放棄です。韓国は漢字を復活すべきだと思う」 In fact, typing kanji on a keyboard takes almost no time (while handwriting takes time). This is because the machine automatically suggests kanji conversion candidates based on the sound. On the other hand, when reading sentences, sentences that include kanji have the advantage of allowing you to understand the meaning faster. You can also guess the meaning of a word without knowing the kanji. The disadvantage is that it takes a long time to learn. Japanese people continue to study kanji for at least nine years.
The "Hanja" in Korean and "Kanji" in Japanese both originate from “漢字(Hanzi)” from Chinese, which means "Chinese characters". At the time before Koreans and Japanese created their own writing systems, they both used Chinese characters as their writing method. At the same time, numerous Chinese vocabularies came into Korea and Japan, and many of them are still widely used in their daily language speakings.
As someone who learnt and can speak Japanese it was easy to guess the meaning (not pronunciation) of most of the characters lol. I think knowing Hanja will be very useful because in Japanese there are certain words or grammar structures that are difficult to explain because they are so similar, but if you look at the Kanji characters the difference becomes clear. I'm still just a beginner in Korean but I imagine the same might be true.
I'm learning Chinese and at level 1 currently. The fact that Korean, japanese and Vietnamese words are based on Chinese made me somewhat proud that i am learning a great language.
I started learning Hanja and it did not improve my Korean skills but still it is one of the best things i ever did. I am interested in Korean, Chinese and Japanese culture and also Graffiti
I have TTMIK’s 한자 book and now I just wish there was a book 2! While it is not my main learning recourse even as a beginner I would occasionally open the book and learn 1 or 2 at a relaxed pace with little pressure. while the benefits didn’t immediately show they are now! I’m grateful for keeping the habit and just want to learn more 😜
I was learning some Chinese before I started with Korean. The characters were probably my favorite part about Chinese, so when I learned about Hanja I was very excited. I would love to learn as much Hanja as possible one day, even though they are mostly useless.

인터뷰중 한 사람이 얘기했듯 한국어를 배우기전에 한자를 알고 있는 외국인에겐 도움이 되겠지만 일부러 한자를 가르친다는건 어렵다고 생각되네요. 생활한자야 몇천자만 외우면 된다지만 외우는걸로 끝나는게 아니라 한자도 사용을 해야 늘고 한글 단어를 보고 유추도 가능해지는것이라 그 학습과정이 꽤 오랜시간 단련되어야 할겁니다. 또한 현재 대한민국내에서 일상생활에 한자를 거의 사용하지 않고 있고 쓸 일도 없네요. 예전에야 신문이나 뉴스나 또는 대학교 교재까지 한자가 일상생활 깊숙히 사용되었지만 현재는 고궁이나 박물관에나 가야 한자를 구경할 정도니깐요.
Being able to speak Japanese (as a result being able to read Hanja), knowing Hanja is a big advantage to learn Korean. I was so surprised how easier it made my life

There is an ancient book in the Korean Museum that says: South Korea has no characters, and China lends Chinese characters to South Korea. Koreans can't understand them, but they treat them as treasures, hahah!

@@JohnWilson-q3t Korea has Hangul, and even before Hangul was created, Koreans developed a unique writing system using Korean-styled Chinese characters, like Idu, as part of their language. What you’re saying disregards the natural exchange of script and culture and the unique development of a linguistic system. This can be inferred from King Sejong’s Hunminjeongeum (훈민전음) preface, which begins, “The language of the country differs from that of China.”
The term Dongyi (東夷) you mentioned was a broad term used in ancient East Asia to refer to various ethnic groups, and the groups it referred to differed depending on the era and region. Therefore, Dongyi doesn’t necessarily have no relation to Korea, nor does it exclusively refer to Koreans. What you’re claiming is not academically sound. Initially, Dongyi was a way of looking down on other ethnic groups.
Saying that Koreans' ancestors were Chinese is also incorrect. The Han Chinese (漢族) and the Samhan people (三韓族) were clearly distinct ethnic groups. The Korean people originated from a fusion of the Yemaek people, who lived in southern Manchuria and northern Korea, and the Samhan tribes, who lived in the southern Korean peninsula. Therefore, what you’re saying is neither academically nor historically accurate.
I’m not sure if you’re just uninformed or brainwashed, but here we have a saying: "Turns out, the country you insulted was your own." This is for you. You're a clueless, ignorant person in a group of fools, too foolish to even fact-check.
Thank you.

Right!!
Excellent street interview!!! I wasn't really surprised that the older participants read 한자 very well and the younger participants had a harder time as I've heard 한자 lessons in school aren't always required. I have the TTMIK Hanja book and would LOVE if there was a volume 2. I find learning 한자, even if I can't write it myself, really does help me learn new vocabulary and pick up on new Sino-Korean words.
한자 is not chinese character. Hanja should be Eunja, it was first invented during the Eun/Shang dynasty which is not related to China. People founded Eun/Shang dynasty was Donyi-people which is not Han chinese
@@jwp-yh8wh By your logic the Latin alphabets(and a million other writing systems) should be called the Egyption alphabets or something. Sure, the oracle bone scripts are from the Shang dynasty, but it's an ancestral system to what we call Chinese characters nowadays, not the system itself.
I find studying 한자 useful for learning Korean vocabulary because it makes the vocabulary so much less arbitrary and easier to remember, but reading and writing the Chinese characters isn't necessary.
then how do you study it? 🧐
So true, the role of Chinese characters in Korean is similar to that of Greek and Latin in English, specially in formal and academic vocabulary.
Not necessary in lower level, but in higher level, all languages need huge amount of nouns to identify the meaning, Korean speakers have no choice but to borrow it from other languages.
@@Yarxk-j7w In fact, Korean can also create new words without borrowing Chinese characters, using only pure Korean words. North Korea is even more enthusiastic about this than South Korea. However, the primary reason Chinese characters remain prevalent lies in their efficiency. Each character carries at least one meaning, allowing for concise two- or three-letter words. Conversely, pure Korean terms often require several letters to convey meaning, leading to longer, sometimes five- or six-letter words, which can be cumbersome for everyday use.
汉语、日语、韩语都存在大量同音字和同音词，没有汉字的话很容易有歧义的。汉语拼音、日语平假名片假名、韩语都只是一个声音符号而已，如果你觉得汉字没有必要，那么说明你还不了解这三门语言的底层逻辑。
Studying hanja is something like studying Latin and Greek roots for English. I think it's interesting that Korean has incorporated multiple language streams into their beautiful language
English branched off from the Germanic language, not Latin.
Romance (from Roman) languages like Spanish, French, Italian are descended from Latin.
@@_Just_Another_Guywhat the person meant is that there are Korean words based on hanja, as English has Latin based words..
@@jyoo6025 you're right 👍▶️. English was structured on top of graga and Latin linguistics British archeology has already proved this 5 years ago Cambridge and Oxford has no more controversy in this no, the evil of people is the negationism and unmotivated ignorance.
@@_Just_Another_Guyyeah but 60% of our vocabulary is from Latin, hence studying the roots of Latin words for English
@@_Just_Another_Guy And Korean is not related to Chinese. But because Classical Chinese was the language of prestige in East Asia, much like Latin and Greek were in Europe, Korean absorbed a lot of Chinese loan words. Same with Japanese and Vietnamese. We all used to write in Chinese characters, but Koreans abandoned it.
The influence of Chinese characters on Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese is similar to that of Latin on English.
French on English
Germanic on English
Yup and I know a couple of those languages and can confirm how true that is.
Yes!! I learned some kanji and it actually has helped me identify some hanja in Korea! Though the pronunciation is often different haha
That's the magic of it. Ancient Chinese and Korean and Japanese and Vietnamese communicate with each other through Chinese characters.

감사합니다 TTMIK❤
In the ancient Korea (Chaoxian朝鮮 , Real historical name - Chinese territory before 1910). It was two different ethnic groups.
1.Chinese (Han Ethnic)(Wear color and pattern clothes) - Ruler and nobleman
2. Korean (White Clothes Ethnic)( Wear white clothes without pattern) - Civilians and slaves
1.Chinese - Ruler and nobleman (Goguryeo , Baekje, Silla , Goryeo, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..):
Chinese local officials and nobles (royal members, monks, scholars, soldiers, architects, technicians, and their families ...). They are Chinese (Han) and their descendants born in the local area. They have always wore China in China costumes. They speak Chinese language (official and Han dialect) and Chinese characters. They are Chinese officials and represent the Chinese emperor's governance of the ancient Korean Peninsula (朝鮮).
Local Chinese officials (Chaoxian king朝鮮王) and Chinese nobles in ancient Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮-Chinese territory). They all Chinese clothes (hanfu), headdress (hat and crown), silk cloth (including embroidery), soldiers (such as: defensive clothing, horses). Weapons (including cannons), Chinese literature books (including Chinese history, Taoism Buddhism), Chinese special architectural materials (including palaces and design paintings). Food materials (Chinese food and Chinese royal food), wooden wheels used, large military ships, etc. are made from other cities in China).
Among them, the Chinese royal's (Chaoxian king /officials and nobles) Hanfu comes from Chinese han clothes, opera clothing, and hat crown headwear. Therefore, the fabric on the clothes is high -level. There are a large number of Chinese official dragon patterns and various traditional Chinese patterns (including Chinese characters) on the clothes.
2. Korean - Civilians and slaves (Goryeo, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..only appeared in history after the 13th century):
Civilians and slaves are indigenous Koreans (White Clothes Ethnic白衣民族). They speak Korean language. Long -term banned learning and use of Chinese characters 漢字(except a few descendants of mixed with Chinese people).
Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. In ancient times, this was a beheading and destroyer.
* Chinese patterns and Dragon's totem represents the symbol of the ancient Chinese and Chinese power. Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. Only the Chinese royal family and senior officers can use it. If the "White clothes Ethnic 白衣民族" (today's ancestors of Koreans) use the pattern of dragon and use Chinese characters. They will destroy the tribe and beheaded.
Korean characters韓字 are text used by slaves. Ancient Korean can only use Korean characters (after the 15th century. Chinese officials - Chaoxian king and Chinese scholars who settled on the Chaoxian朝鮮 . Chinese officials use Chinese characters and Korean language to create "Korean characters韓字 ".) for slaves.
These low Korean soldiers are used to protect the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島(Chinese territory) to prevent Japanese pirates from invasion.
In ancient Korea (Chaoxian朝鮮 ) does not have any technologies and processes such as metal , Bend the wood and dye embroidery patterns.
Most Korean men became low -level soldiers in the Chinese army (under the command of Chinese officers). There is no armor. Korean only wear pure white clothes and korean women's clothing is exposed nipples (Hanbok - Features of traditional Korean clothes).Westerners Record photos.
All Korean women use their heads to move anything (similar to other primitive tribal culture). Korean houses are cottage built with grass (only Chinese can live in Chinese palaces and temples).
Korean people earn food in the market concentrated on exchanging items. They do not have any coins and any metal things. South Korea's national culture and tools for use are very primitive.
Writing history is the tradition and habit of the ancient Chinese official .
The history of the ancient Korean Peninsula was written by classical Chinese. This was read for the Chinese and must be approved for the Chinese emperor. This is a record and governance story of Chinese officials and nobles on the ancient Korean Peninsula.
Anceint japan (before 13th century )= 東瀛 & 扶桑 & 倭 . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record)
Today japan = 日本
Anceint korea= 朝鮮 (and 高包麗. 百濟. 新羅. 王氏高麗. 李氏朝鮮) . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record)
Today korea = 韓國(南北)
Anceint Nonth Vietnam= 交趾 . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record)
Today Vietnam = 越南
Anceint Okinawa= 琉球. (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record)
Today Okinawa = 沖繩
The history of Japan and Koreans propaganda is serious fraud (all ancient tombs and cultural relics, and they have never been disclosed to study international experts). Their fake history is promoted by themselves to the outside world.
Japan's denies that Nanjing massacre南京大屠殺 . Korea denies that real Hanbok(Traditional clothing) is white and a Korea woman clothing 's show nipples and woman moving things with her head (Historical photos taken by Westerners) before 1910. Korean people have made a lot of fake black & white historical photos. Not announce the real history out. And control a lot of network fake information.
Because modern Japanese and Koreans want to seize a large number of Chinese tombs and cultural relics unearthed (more than 2000 years ago) in Japan and Korea (including local historical records written by local Chinese). They fabricated a large number of fake Japanese and Korean history and cultural propaganda.
Let all foreigners think that Japan and ancient Korea have been strong and independent countries since ancient times (gain more foreigners worship. Create more fake historical proofs, such as: adapting textbooks/animation/historical TV series ....).
They use many Chinese history and culture as publicity as their history and culture.
Nuclear brainwashing citizens and all foreigners (through the United States to suppress China's right to speak and influence, support the influence and fake information promotion of Japan and South Korea.), Including brainwashing, many young Chinese people have been brainwashed.
---------------------------
After the World War II, the Japanese proposed the so -called "Chinese character cultural area 漢字文化圈". Promoting "ancient Japanese" uses Chinese characters 漢字 and Classical Chinese 文言文 (including Chinese culture).
They promoted the "Tang Dispatched personnel 遣唐使" as ancient Japanese. They study culture and technology in China. Koreans promoted that ancient Korea was an independent country. Their king and nobles were Korean but used Chinese (but real history , Korean king regarded Korean characters as slaves characters) and they wearing Chinese clothes (hanfu). Promoted that Ancient Korean can entering and leaving China. They go to China to learn all Chinese cultures (EX: Chinese Palace Design ). This is a huge lie in itself.
Now Vietnam also uses the same method to make a history of fake history.
There is no record of any history. The ancient Chinese official have taught Chinese characters漢字 (classical Chinese文言文) and various Chinese technologies (including Chinese architecture, Palace Design and weapon technology) to "ancient Japanese and Korean" (ancient Chinese call them "barbarians").If this is true, it is a huge international historical event. There will definitely be a detailed historical record.
Ancient Chinese emperor could not do this (provide all Chinese characters漢字 and various technologies to the any barbarians). Chinese characters 漢字communicate with the ancient Chinese peoples (different Han dialects ). It is also an important message characters / texts for ancient Chinese official documents. A huge country like China. Let the "barbarians (non-Han peoples非漢人)" know the official Chinese information. It is a very dangerous thing (including Chinese clothes- hanfu and Chinese technology).
In ancient times, the Chinese emperor only needed to send a group of Chinese elites and soldiers (in the later period, a number of Han women漢女 would be moved to the local area). The Chinese elites go to barbaric areas such as Japan and Korea. They establish a Chinese regime in barbaric areas (Chinese territory - the Chinese emperor will name the name of China in this barbaric region) . This is also the practice that ancient Chinese officials used to occupy the place.

They promoted the "Tang Dispatched personnel 遣唐使" as ancient Japanese. They study culture and technology in China. Koreans promoted that ancient Korea was an independent country. Their king and nobles were Korean but used Chinese (but real history , Korean king regarded Korean characters as slaves characters) and they wearing Chinese clothes (hanfu). Promoted that Ancient Korean can entering and leaving China. They go to China to learn all Chinese cultures (EX: Chinese Palace Design ). This is a huge lie in itself.
Now Vietnam also uses the same method to make a history of fake history.
There is no record of any history.

A huge country like China. Let the "barbarians (non-Han peoples非漢人)" know the official Chinese information. It is a very dangerous thing (including Chinese clothes- hanfu and Chinese technology).
In ancient times, the Chinese emperor only needed to send a group of Chinese elites and soldiers (in the later period, a number of Han women漢女 would be moved to the local area). The Chinese elites go to barbaric areas such as Japan and Korea. They establish a Chinese regime in barbaric areas (Chinese territory - the Chinese emperor will name the name of China in this barbaric region) . This is also the practice that ancient Chinese officials used to occupy the place.

As a Japanese who understands Korean, I think Korean writing system is much more rational and systematic than Japanese.
If you write Hanja word only in your letters, that would be
Hanja: 大韓民國大統領
Hangeul: 대한민국대통령
Hiragana:だいかんみんこくだいとうりょう
The number of Hiragana letters doubles of original, but Korean doesn't change.
So using only Hangeul is much reasonable.

The very first Hanja I could remember - but in Japanese (I didn't know the Korean pronunciation)! I began learning Japanese long ago, and it helps me remember Korean words of Chinese origin. I can link a Korean pronunciation to the Japanese one, or vice versa.
Haraboji is the best 😊🎉 Still studying Korean language and hopefully I will be fluent someday ☺️
The Hanja pronunciation sometimes sounds like Cantonese, and sometimes sound like Mandarin, yet sometimes sounds like half cantonese and half mandarin (esp when it comes in 2 words). I know Cantonese and Mandarin so the I can pick out the sounds.
and Japanese
The sound of Hanja came from Middle Chinese language.
It sounds like Hokkien or Fujian language. that's because the people fled during the Song dynasty from the Northern China down to the southern coastal region. The Korean pronunciation of 感谢 sounds like the same way it is pronounced as"Gam Si-ah" in Hokkien.
한국어는 같은 중고한어에서 분리된객가어와 발음이 유사합니다
Seeing the phonetic Hangul mixed with Chinese characters together reminds me a lot of Japanese. It's cool to see the similarities!
We used to write like that until mid 70s
As a native speaker of mandarin, Chinese characters do help me a lot when it comes to reciting new Korean words.
This is really interesting to me. I am a native English speaker but have studied Japanese for 20 years and learned basic Mandarin Chinese as a very young kid. So for me, it's so helpful knowing which Hanja correspond to Korean words when I'm learning Korean. I know all 3 of those languages do differ in the usage of the Chinese characters, but even having a bit of context from any of them can be a huge help in associating meanings. I feel like knowing Japanese already gave me a head start on a ton of very similar vocabulary, and I can even guess a lot of Korean words based on context, after just learning a bit of the grammar. Following along with the video, "promise" and "thanks" were so easy, even as a new Korean learner, due to this.
I think I'd agree with those in the video who said if you already know the characters, it can definitely aid your learning, because that's been my experience so far.
(Although, as I'm not a native Japanese or Chinese speaker, I do have the cursed situation where I see new words written in Chinese characters now and I end up reading them the Korean way sometimes, despite being in a Japanese or Chinese sentence context... Gotta be careful haha...)

I'm a Chinese heritage speaker, aka an overseas Chinese. I can read, write, speak, and comprehend the language very well. I find that Hanja is very intriguing compared to modern Chinese. So far, now I learned one Hanja meaning "tomorrow" which is 來日【láirì】the same meaning as 내일, but in modern Chinese, we say 明天【míngtiān】as in the word "tomorrow."
In addition, I have been studying Korean for over 5 years including at college and online self-study. I also self-study linguistics and many other languages as my hobby, so I'm 100% a language enthusiast. I would definitely recommend other Korean learners and beginners to utilize your resources for them to hone their Korean skills!
Hi! I’m an overseas Chinese too but can’t read, write or speak very well. Is Hanja similar to traditional Chinese? Can all Chinese read Hanja well in this case if they are familiar with traditional Chinese characters?
@@hermione5330 Even if you are not familiar with the traditional character, knowledge of simplified character will somehow help. I can understand all those words, but pronunciation will be in Mandarin. Interestingly, the pronunciation some words sound like Cantonese. I think the Japanese and Korean pronunciation are closer to Cantonese (which is older than Mandarin) or sometimes even Hokkien ones.
@@hermione5330 im overseas Chinese too, Korean Hanja and Japanese Kanji are mostly kept Chinese words from ancient time , but some Japanese kanji are modernized for time being , 80% of Chinese modern Kanji characters are from Japanese Kanji such as 电话，银行，警察局，沙发，电视机，杂志even the chinese government party name 共产党 also from japanese kanji , so they all kept in Chinese language syetem nowadays
Korean and Japanese preserve classical or ancient Chinese vocabularies in their languages. For example, the names of the days of the week are based on the five-element theory. We also do not say 曜日 in Modern Chinese anymore.
来日 is still used but is less common. it mostly appears in the word 来日方长
being able to read and write hanja makes learning korean a lot easier. There are just so many words that sound and mean the same. i also realized as of late that japanese language also share a lot of similar sounding/meaning words with hangeul.
I think I've heard Yaksok used in Japanese with the same meaning as in promise? Also maybe kibun as in feeling.
@@hazelmint6671 yes and also 가족, 시간, 간단, 자, and many more are words I often hear used.

I realize what Hanja you use, but "tomorrow" is 明日(Ashita) in Japanese. 來日 means "to come to 🇯🇵" in Japanese, and we use this Hanja "来" instead "來". Of course both Hanja are same meaning, but it's different a way to write. That's interesting😎
yes, it has both means in chinese
你说对了，来日就是coming days，例：来日无多
We also use 명일(明日) in formal documents tho

well，in some condition 来 means come and 日 means 日本，but you can easily determine by context

As a Chinese user, I can often discern the Chinese origin of Korean pronunciations as soon as I hear them.
However, I still find it fascinating to learn new things here.
For instance, the Korean word "안녕" (which means "Hello") actually comes from the Chinese word "安寧" (which means "peace").

And I have to be honest, oftentimes I was like: "Why do I have to learn these? I won't remember anyways" lol 🙈 But this actually made me appreciate her explanations more. I will take them more serious in the future! Also: all of the people seemed so lovely and their messages at the end really encouraged me a bit, so thank you ❤️😊
Everyone spoke so well! Bet they didn't expect a pop quiz on the street. 😅 Great video!
Great interview🎉 I think for Chinese the Korean vocab part is definitely easier, like knowing Greek and Latin roots for Indo-European languages. What's hard is the grammar, after all Chinese and Korean belong to different language families. Really enjoy learning grammar, it's like brain gymnastic 😊
As someone who is learning Korean and lived in Korea I find that Hanja is used a lot still and learning it is very helpful!
For example on menus you still see "large" written in Hanja instead of in Hangeul. I feel like it would just not stand out as much to my eyes if it were in Hangeul.
One other common example that globally people know is Shin Ramen! Shin ramen has shin written in Hanja instead of Hangeul. If shin were written in Hangeul I wouldn't immediately understand it is referring to spicy.

Hanja to me is a very important element in my korean vocabulary learning process. And it is like some of the interviewees had mentioned, some of the words in hangul are phonetically the same, and seeing their hanja (esp for sino-korean words) helps so much with understanding rather than rote memorisation (which i hate). Though I'm already fluent in chinese in the first place and also having learnt Japanese for over 10 yrs so relying on hanja just comes naturally.
The history of Japan and Koreans propaganda is serious fraud (all ancient tombs and cultural relics, and they have never been disclosed to study international experts). Their fake history is promoted by themselves to the outside world.

Korean people have made a lot of fake black & white historical photos. Not announce the real history out. And control a lot of network fake information.
Because modern Japanese and Koreans want to seize a large number of Chinese tombs and cultural relics unearthed (more than 2000 years ago) in Japan and Korea (including local historical records written by local Chinese). They fabricated a large number of fake Japanese and Korean history and cultural propaganda.

After the World War II, the Japanese proposed the so -called "Chinese character cultural area 漢字文化圈". Promoting "ancient Japanese" uses Chinese characters 漢字 and Classical Chinese 文言文 (including Chinese culture).
They promoted the "Tang Dispatched personnel 遣唐使" as ancient Japanese. They study culture and technology in China. Koreans promoted that ancient Korea was an independent country. Their king and nobles were Korean but used Chinese (but real history , Korean king regarded Korean characters as slaves characters) and they wearing Chinese clothes (hanfu). Promoted that Ancient Korean can entering and leaving China. They go to China to learn all Chinese cultures (EX: Chinese Palace Design ). This is a huge lie in itself.
Now Vietnam also uses the same method to make a history of fake history.
There is no record of any history. The ancient Chinese official have taught Chinese characters漢字 (classical Chinese文言文) and various Chinese technologies (including Chinese architecture, Palace Design and weapon technology) to "ancient Japanese and Korean" (ancient Chinese call them "barbarians").If this is true, it is a huge international historical event. There will definitely be a detailed historical record.
Ancient Chinese emperor could not do this (provide all Chinese characters漢字 and various technologies to the any barbarians). Chinese characters 漢字communicate with the ancient Chinese peoples (different Han dialects ). It is also an important message characters / texts for ancient Chinese official documents. A huge country like China. Let the "barbarians (non-Han peoples非漢人)" know the official Chinese information. It is a very dangerous thing (including Chinese clothes- hanfu and Chinese technology).
In ancient times, the Chinese emperor only needed to send a group of Chinese elites and soldiers (in the later period, a number of Han women漢女 would be moved to the local area). The Chinese elites go to barbaric areas such as Japan and Korea. They establish a Chinese regime in barbaric areas (Chinese territory - the Chinese emperor will name the name of China in this barbaric region) . This is also the practice that ancient Chinese officials used to occupy the place.
I think Hanja are really useful for being able to guess words. However I think remembering what the character looks like and even more so how to draw it, has only very limited benefits and your time would be better spent learning something else. As the younger responders in the video mentioned learning Hanja like this is also quite unfun. But unfortunately this seems to be the focus of too many Hancha courses. For knowing that 학 in a word stands for study, if the context is about learning, knowing what a chinese character looks like is not necessary.
Agree its waste of time you could spend on other important subjects.
This video encouraged me to start learning Hanja 😊

Ah, I understood most of them instantly. I did know Hanja before learning Korean and it was incredibly helpful. I just learned the Hangeul reading of the Hanja and automatically knew half of the vocabulary I came across. However if you dont know Hanja it makes little sense to learn it only for Korean. It's too difficult and takes too long which is why Koreans abolished it.

Among the young and younger koreans, it is more than what i had expected but those born in the early 1960s and before are not going to surprise me for being proficient in Hanja ❤
In early 90s a group of Korean scholars visiting a cultural centre of my city in Taiwan. They scripted their names in hanja calligraphy by using writing brush. All of them were so damn good at writing beautiful calligraphy.

It is different now.
My grandfather communicated with Chinese people by writing Hanja on his note when he visited China. I was amazed.
Very interesting series. Thank you! I imagine that learning hanja is similar to understanding Latin root words. My mother insisted I learn Latin. It means that while reading texts both in English (as well as Spanish or Italian) I can often figure out the meaning of unknown words. I’ll have to work on my hanja skills. I can only recognize door and child. 😅

Etymology is fascinating to me. I cannot write or read most Hanja, but I have studied the meanings and associated vocabulary. If I learn a new vocab word, I alwaus check the Hanja.
Hanja is such a beautiful cultural heritage that should be shared and celebrated by all East Asians! I once learned a story from a Sinology course that a Korean in 17th or 18th century encountered a storm on the sea, and he fell off into the water. He ended up floating to southern China, and although he did not speak a word of any Chinese dialect, he communicated with pen with Chinese people and managed to go all the way to Beijing and eventually back to Korea!

Koreans really have to be thankful to the great King Sejong for inventing hangeul, which leads us to not use hanja on a daily basis anymore.

In fact, typing kanji on a keyboard takes almost no time (while handwriting takes time). This is because the machine automatically suggests kanji conversion candidates based on the sound.
On the other hand, when reading sentences, sentences that include kanji have the advantage of allowing you to understand the meaning faster. You can also guess the meaning of a word without knowing the kanji. The disadvantage is that it takes a long time to learn. Japanese people continue to study kanji for at least nine years.
Sorry. Kanji has the same meaning as Hanji in Japanese, so please read it interchangeably.

The "Hanja" in Korean and "Kanji" in Japanese both originate from “漢字(Hanzi)” from Chinese, which means "Chinese characters". At the time before Koreans and Japanese created their own writing systems, they both used Chinese characters as their writing method. At the same time, numerous Chinese vocabularies came into Korea and Japan, and many of them are still widely used in their daily language speakings.

As someone who learnt and can speak Japanese it was easy to guess the meaning (not pronunciation) of most of the characters lol.
