  • in reply to: The beginning of learning Kanji #48636

    Keep in mind that I, myself, am still learning. From looking at the kanji that you are working on, from what you have said, there aren’t a lot of good examples. Numbers are a bit of an oddity from what I’ve seen. They usually use the on’yomi readings when by themselves, which is different from most other kanji that I’ve learned.
    I’m currently working on section 8-2, and the pattern that most of them follow, is that if it is one kanji by itself, it will use the kun’yomi reading. For example, if you see 人 by itself, it is most likely ひと.
    If you see a kanji with hiragana attached, then it will also most likely use the kun’yomi reading. For example, numbers used as counters that you have learned. 九つ for “9 things”, since it has the つ attached, it is most likely ここのつ.
    If you see two kanji attached to each other with no hiragana, you will usually use the on’yomi readings. There are no kanji that you have studied that follow this rule yet though. The first good one comes in the next section (3-1) so I will try to give an example from that one, and you can see it when you get to it (sorry!).
    The kanji 口 is a perfect example of all of the rules. 口 by itself uses the kun’yomi reading. 入り口 is two kanji with hiragana attached and uses the kun’yomi readings again. 人口 is two kanji together with no hiragana and uses the on’yomi readings for both.

    Sorry for the long-winded reply, but hopefully it helps a little. :)

    I like that. I’ll remember that. I’m ALWAYS looking for patterns. Thanks for the tip!

    Ahhh! So it would be more like いっぱいすぎでした ? as in, “I was too full.”?

    in reply to: いっぱい #48622

    http://www.textfugu.com/season-4/adverbs/5-5/#top This is where I read that it could be used as an adjective. I only wondered if you could use すぎる with it because I was trying to make run-on sentences and tried to say I was “too full”.

    I dunno what I would do without you, Joel. :D

    Hey Joel, do you happen to have the Anki link for Radicals7? I couldn’t find it in the lessons.

    The third from last word is たちます, but it is translated there as “be built”.

    Ah fair enough. Thanks for clearing it up. :)

    Now, I could be wrong, but number 9 says that you put a だ at the end of “this train is big”. Isn’t 大きい an i-adjective? So it should just get left off.
    Also, there are 11 questions and only 10 answers. the number 9 question doesn’t have an answer for it.

    Thanks Joel!
