Yes finally a new video. I really appreciate the work that you put into your videos and they are always interesting! Keep up the good work!

Super interesting! The history of the characters absolutely makes their meanings way more memorable.

Yeah I wish Chinese teachers would talk more about the history of the characters than just ask foreign learners to memorise them without any explanation.But it also depends how much class time they have.

How you explained what 子 looks like - the big head, flailing arms, and wrapped legs, makes SO much sense. Although I learned this character long ago, descriptions like this would have cemented it so much more easily for me, much more so than any made-up story of its parts or rote memorization. Things like this are so useful.

Two things: 1)Hell yes, a new video! I like it. Thanks. 2)Thank you so much for making it an actual upload video, and not a short. Shorts are a fucking nightmare to use on PC.

There's also a similar character called 了("ryou" by Japanese). It's similar to 子("ko", child), but just like the legs, the arms were also bound in a blanket, and since the arms and legs are bound, it was used to metaphorically mean "to end". Also, I don't speak Chinese, but in Chinese I've seen 了 being used very often.

As a graduate of Japanese Language & Literature and a Chinese interpreter, you motivated me to learn Korean. I gave up before, because of the pronunciation.

You're right, the old form doesn't even render.

Just found this channel a few days ago, got really sad when I saw the last video was a few months ago, but it seems you've started uploading again!

Finally back after 3 months, love your work ❤️ My favourite language related series of all time

Very interesting! Love these videos!

super interesting!

more video like this!

As a Chinese, It’s nearly impossible to know what this character is and we have never seen it. Doing further research, this character is not being used anymore as an ancient variation of the word “子”

Thank you for the new video! Will there be vietnamese in the news ones?

Hi there! For now, we are still focusing on Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, but we definitely plan to add Vietnamese in the future! Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later :)

Hi

like the new edit layout, it's more natural to read it horizontally, just why not put it in the order you narrate? (chinese - japanese - korean, from top to bottom and not like you do now)

I guess the more complicated variant of 子 you presented is from 史籀篇，right?

孑子孓

Cantonese when?
