And I'm too lazy to learn Japanese. Instead, estoy ensenando espanol.

And yes, I am one of those Dec. 1986 birthday people as well. Yay.

Congratulations! You have just been blessed by the wisdom of Steve.

I'm not very good at Japanese either. But I'm learning, slowly but surely, and all on my own. I wonder about learning all 2000 kanji though...

It's actually "Sapphira".

Heheheh... Yes, actually, Ralph's li'l quote in that episode is where I got the idea for my sig. :) Hehe...I love The Simpsons, and I love Ralph. He's so cute and stupid. :) ...Actually, I do an excellent voice impression of him.

Heh, you know, your sig reminds me of a funny Daily Victim article at Gamespy.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #36 on:** May 24, 2003, 09:51:40 PM »

Hmm. A magazine I read said there were 2000. Oh well. I guess one of us should go check.

!? Did he just use ... HTML? Hmm, maybe that's the 'Powers' Sapphira was talking about. Okay, tell me HOW you did it? I know how to do links but ... I'll test here. TESTING ... Test

Alright, Yoshi6, just pretend you never saw that. HTML isn't meant to be used here, so, just don't try to. Trust me, it'd be better that way.

As for japanese, Chupperson Weird is correct. There is about 2000 kanji. 1,945 to be exact. However, I suggest that you learn how to speak and understand the language first, and then follow up on reading and writing. It's not like other languages where you can just pick it up knowing basically how the words sound. Although, I'm sure you both already knew such things.

Marionut#1 · « **Reply #41 on:** May 25, 2003, 05:33:49 PM »

No there is over 10,000 Kanji. However, the Japanese government, after WWII nationalized only about a thousand some, and only about 900 some are used in every day japanese.

Black Mage · « **Reply #42 on:** May 25, 2003, 05:55:00 PM »

It seems you're partially correct, as was I and Chupperson Weird.

There are several thousand Kanji. However, "the government declared a set of 1,945 characters as the kanji for everyday use," not 900.

I was only taught of the 1,945, as they're all you really need to know. However, upon researching, you're correct as well.

My reference: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2046.html

And so, there we are.

I said it was a thousand and some. then I said that ONLY ABOUT 996 ARE USED IN EVERYDAY LANGUAGE. There that should clear it up....
