...of the day.

[Kenzou]

This is more of a thread to humor myself, but I will be posting a random word or phrase of the day. Or try to anyway. Depends on how busy/lazy I am.

Monogatari (kanji: 物語, kana: ものがたり) It means: story or tale.

[Kenzou]

Densha (kanji: 電車, kana: でんしゃ) It means: (Electric) Train

[Layla]

I did know what Monogatari means, but I like this thread! I also like the greetings we have by our names every time we log in .

[Kenzou]

Kaiwa (kanji: 会話, kana: かいわ) It means: conversation.

[Kenzou]

Yaeba (kanji: 八重歯, kana: やえば) It means: snaggletooth.

[Lupin]

Wow this is a pretty cool idea! I think I've heard kaiwa before but it was part of another word. It was ekaiwa or something like that. Are they related?

[Kenzou]

Lupin, I think you are thinking of Eikaiwa. Good ear.

Eikaiwa (kanji: 英会話, kana: えいかいわ) It means English conversation.

[Kenzou]

Kaomoji (kanji: 顔文字, kana: かおもじ) It means: Smiley (face made up of characters); Emoticon

[Kenzou]

Saru mo ki kara ochiru. (kanji: 猿も木から落ちる。, kana: さるもきからおちる。) It means: Even monkeys fall from trees.

It is usually said after failing at something as a way to note that failure, "I may have failed, but even the best slip up once in a awhile." It is also used as a way to encourage people who are learning.

[Kenzou]

Matsuri (kanji: 祭, kana: まつり) It means: Festival

[Lumi]

Ahem? New stuff please. :D

[Layla]

Yeah, it has been awhile ^_^.
But he did say he might get busy, which is understandable.

[Kenzou]

ごめんな。 I'll try to get something up tonight.

[Kenzou]

Isogashii (kanji: 忙しい; kana: いそがしい) It means: Busy

[Kenzou]

Semai (kanji: 狭い, kana: せまい) It means: Narrow

[Lumi]

I like how you break things down. If it's not too much trouble can you possibly give the word in a sentence too? :D

[Kenzou]

Hazukashii (kanji: 恥ずかしい, kana: はずかしい) It means: Embarrass

[Kenzou]

Going to try bringing this back again. Sucks to have limited time.

[Layla]

Yes it does.

[Kenshin]

Looking forward to the return!
