Here's an extra tip: ▪️ In シ、the starting points of the strokes (mostly) align vertically along the left side. ▪️ In ツ、they align horizontally along the top.
I think the first column should be headed "Original Chinese character", and not "origin of chinese characters". The origin of Chinese characters would be where the Chinese characters came from, which is not covered in this video.
Kanji ( or hanzi in Chinese) just means chinese characters (or han characters, cus Chinese called themselves hanzu or hanren (han people) after the han dynasty).
Yea... But no, as a Chinese, everytime sonebody called them kanji, i cringe. Imagine some Americans see Latin and say OH I DON'T KNOW ROMAN ALSO USE AMERICAN ALPHABET.
@@KinLee919 We call it the Roman/Latin alphabet in English and most other European languages. I know in Chinese it’s called Hanzi, but in this case, he’s writing in Japanese, so it’s kanji. Hanzi are also slightly different, which is also different from hanja. Different stroke orders, more strokes, etc.
Reminds me when I was a child buying the 1/32 Tamiya cars thinking my Chinese mother could decipher the Japanese on the product but then recognising some of the Japanese looking like Chinese characters but simplified..
Some are quite similar, but some are confusing, like a kanji that looks surprisingly similar to え suddenly happens to be an ancestor of し ))
Yeah that was a cheap shot! I was like: ok that’s easy, I know this one…. wait what!?!
I learned hiragana and katakana and it’s nice to know the history ☺️
Isso é muito interessante. Eu nunca tinha reparado que os carácteres do katakana e hiragana, tinha como origem mesmo kanji em comum
cool knowing that some of them have a common ancestor/s
It's nice and learning Japanese from an actual Japanese person
へ(ひらがな)とヘ(カタカナ)はどう頑張っても見分け付かない。
３つ並べると、明らかに、ほんまや〜に、なってる！
I will use this as a guide to remember Katakana better, especially tsu and shi.

That is probably the reason how i know japanese quite fast, it's just like a few lines and angles!
Once you get into it, the basics are not as complicated as they seem.
I'm trying to guess what katakana and hiragana character would it be and I'm flabbergasted when original looks no similiar to a result

how did you get しand シ out of 之, and つ and ツ out of 川！？
Also, I thought え comes from 之 😅
I kinda understand Tsu :) Looks like River or Water I’m guessing? The Katakana has 3 lines that start from even positions at the top, seems similar.

"Origin of Chinese sentence" Are those same as kanji? In japan, most of them are kanji... I hope i can learn the easiest way

You don’t have to call them “Chinese characters.” We know them as kanji.

つ・ツは本来「州」なんじゃない？
wikiにはそう書いてありますね。手元の資料だと、川か、州説もあり、になってます。推察するに、川だと音が微妙に合わないので、州なんちゃう？みたいな感じだと思うのですが、州だと「つ」の形に崩れるのかな、って感じなので、実際よくわかんないな、川だと思うけどなんか変、みたいな感じ
Yes 👍

Not all of these letters are similar. Mo, se, ka and ya only.
