Fuck kanji

Why do you think 学 is the Kanji for learn?

It's because 学 is a simplification of 學, which itself was taken from it's original varient 斆 where the 攵 component was eventually omitted.

斆 originated from adding the
components 𦥑(hands) and 宀(roof) to 敎, which is the character for teach.

敎 originated from 爻(phonetic) 子child 攵 teaching stick.

So complex...

at least it looks cool,unlike the latin alphabet

>攵 teaching stick
So that's how it is called originally?
I struggle to name it myself because I see it pretty often but still can't say what does it look like

>how it's called
English protip: don't translate кaк нaзывaeтcя literally. _what_ it's called, not how.

But yeah, a lot of radicals have obscure origins because of how stylized they've become from the old oracle bone script and the like.

i see, thanks

自動販売機

I dislike this word.
It is overly complicated in my opinion

it's an inferior system

you could just use 自販機 instead btw

that's better

>his country is using THREE writing systems
lmao

...

But there's no need to know the origins. You just need to remember child + the thing on top means learn

...but it doesnt

Well that's what the OP said

I find this fascinating. Do you know more kanji origins like this?

Japanese three writing system is the most systematical system

zitto animale

>i feel sad
So that's what Chaika was always saying

The Chinese simplified to 学 as well because they simply copied the Japanese simplification.
The 3 dots written like 、、/ (unlike 小 radical) did not exist in 楷体 until the Japanese simplified it as such.

that character does not mean learn in Chinese. Can't speak for japanese though

It mean learn in Chinese you When*toid

It does famalamadingdong

I'm in favour of not taking 50 years to write one Chinese character.

I'm not sure OP is right, there are lots of 甲骨文 and 金文 examples of 学 without 攵.

Also 學 and the left of 敎 are just variants of the same character.

The head is lightened, that's the idea behind it
