Japanese characters: “moon”, “star”, “sea”, “noise”

Oh, how I want to go to the sea now, don’t I? Just imagine: gentle water rustles under your feet, and the moon and the first stars peek through the colorful sunset. A fairy tale, and nothing more. However, we already have a proven way to get at least a little closer to our dreams - to learn hieroglyphs with these meanings. Today in the program: “moon”, “star”, “sea” and “noise” .

For those who are with us for the first time, we tell you how to effectively learn hieroglyphs . The surest way is to make cards with them like flash cards. In any search engine, you can enter the query “spaced repetition method” and read in more detail. If we talk about this method briefly, then on a blank card on one side you write down one hieroglyph, on the other - everything you want to remember. For example, the standard set includes readings, meanings and several words in which this sign is used. You memorize the information on the resulting cards and begin to repeat it. Take a card, look at the hieroglyph and play out loud everything that is written on the back. In this way, repeat the signs first once a day, then, if you quickly and clearly name the readings, meanings and words, gradually increase the interval : once every two days, twice a week, once a week, etc. Actually, you use this principle to sort the cards into piles; in the end you should get several of them. When the hieroglyph is completely remembered, simply remove the card from the deck.

The best way to learn kanji is by writing them down. You can also repeat the writing of hieroglyphs, focusing on the back of the card , the one on which the readings are written, and so on. Don’t forget to say everything out loud – this way your brain remembers information better. And of course, reading is a must, even if you are new to the Japanese language.

"Moon"

The character 月 consists of only one element - “moon”, which is the key of character number 74 . You can search for the “kanji” key in a hieroglyphic dictionary.

Pay attention to the order of strokes when writing the sign:

The hieroglyph has the following readings :

Ony:ゲツ – (abbr.) Monday ガツ

Kun:つき – moon; month

The sign 月 in its ancient style is a pictogram depicting a crescent moon with a dot inside. Gradually, the “kanji” acquired its current spelling, and the dot in the middle turned into a horizontal line.

Words in which this hieroglyph is used:

Star in Japanese

I will take this mini-horoscope from the old book “Stars and Fates”. I got it from my grandmother. By the way, I was surprised that she had this book, since my grandmother was a religious person and astrology did not fit in with religion for me. Anyway. What I mean is that if this information does not coincide with yours, I have nothing to do with it. Nevertheless, let's look at how the Japanese call the signs of the zodiac, planets, and what they have in common with the days of the week.

"Star"

The character 星 can be divided into two elements - “sun” 日 at the top and “live” 生 at the bottom. The element “sun” is the key – key number 72 .

They:セイショウ

Kun:ほし – star; spot, speck; mark, asterisk; target center

The ancient hieroglyph depicted a tree with stars shining through its branches. This "tree", now the 生 element, was a phonetic and was responsible for the reading equivalent to the Japanese "sei". To better remember the sign, we offer the following mnemonic rule : “stars” 星 are what are “born” 生 after the “sun” 日 sets.

What are the names of the planets of the solar system in Japanese?

Since ancient times, celestial bodies have attracted people not only with their mysterious radiance, but also with the ability to predict a person’s fate. Of course, not everyone believes in horoscopes and astrology, but it is impossible to deny the influence of other planets on our history. Therefore, today we will talk about how and why the familiar planets are called that way in Japanese.

A planet is a huge celestial body that revolves around its star.

In Japanese, a planet is 惑星 ( wakusei

) “confused star” or “confused star.” An interesting combination that promises us no less interesting planet names.

The answer to the question about the names of the planets should be sought in Ancient China, because it was from there that kanji, or otherwise hieroglyphs, and, accordingly, most names and concepts came to Japan. This process did not bypass celestial bodies either. In Ancient China, only five (with the exception of Earth) planets were known: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. This is due to the fact that these particular celestial bodies are clearly visible to the naked eye, of course, if you understand where and when to look.

At first they were given complex and not particularly well-established names. However, some time later, these five planets, in accordance with the Chinese system of the five elements of nature, were assigned their own elements: water, metal, fire, wood, earth. From that moment on, they got new names. The first hieroglyph in them denoted the element governed by the planet, and the second indicated that these were stars, because at that time the concepts of “planet” and “star” were not yet fully distinguished.

Mercury: 水星, すいせい ( suisei

) "water star"

Venus: 金星, きんせい ( kinsei

) "metal star"

Mars: 火星, かせい ( kasei

) "star of fire"

Jupiter: 木星, もくせい ( mokusei

) "tree star"

Saturn: 土星, どせい ( dosei

) "earth star"

It is worth noting here that the names were distributed almost randomly - this means that there is no actual connection to the hieroglyphs. But how can you remember all the planets? Here are some little tips for you:

Mercury is too close to the Sun, which means there is no WATER on it

Venus is distinguished by its GOLD color, and the second meaning of the sign 金 is gold

Mars is bright red, namely FIRE

You will have to use your imagination with the following comrades:

A huge and lush FOREST grows on Jupiter

Saturn is a huge desert, which means you can walk on it like on EARTH.

Another fact is that the Earth in Japanese is written without the character 星 “star”, namely: 地球 ( chikyu:

), which means "Earth globe".

"Sea"

The hieroglyph 海 consists of two parts : on the left is “water” 水 in a truncated form, and on the right is the conventional hieroglyph “everyone” 毎, which is divided into two elements – on top “man” 人 and below “mother” 母. The key of the hieroglyph is the element “water” – key number 85 .

Him: カイ

Kun: うみ – sea

The right side of the hieroglyph acted as a phonetic and meant “darkness, unknown.” Thus, the sea is dark and unknown waters to man, which are fraught with danger. If you think about it, you can come up with another mnemonic rule : sooner or later, “all” 毎 “water” 水 ends up in the “sea” 海.

"Noise"

The character 騒 is conventionally divided into two parts . On the left is “horse”, which is key number 187 , and on the right is “again” on top 又 and “insect” on bottom 虫.

Him:ソウ

Kuns:さわ(ぐ) – make noise, make noise; worry; fuss さわ(ぎ) – noise; hype さわ(がす) – to alarm, excite さわ(がせる) – the same さわ(がれる) – to enjoy success さわ(がしい) – noisy; restless

We offer you another mnemonic rule : when the “insect” 虫 “again” 又 bites the “horse” 馬, it becomes “noisy” 騒.
