hey my japanese friends
asking a srs question here: why the hell does 下 have the on readings of か, げ and kun readings of した, さが, くだ, お, but when it's put into a word like this 下げる it suddenly fucking is さ? How the hell am i supposed to memorize and know that for every word? and in 下手 it's suddenly へ??? How does your writing system even work??? wtf? explain

trying to use wanikani.com to learn this shit, and the pronounciation just has literally no rhyme or reason... wtf

華やかで良いね

Our kanji is to show what a word means not its pronunciation.

then how do i figure out the pronounciation
you're saying i have to learn 2500+ kanji and the 2-10 pronouciations of each character?

Why aren't you using /djt/?

何で?と聞かれても困るね。
そういう物だから。
パンツ屋は何か知ってるかも。
ちなみに「さが」ではなく、「さ」だね。
下がる、下げる

by the time you learn online translators will be good enough

You can't learn Japanese.
