Good grief, I don't begrudge Korone *OR* you for trouble translating some of these words. Japanese uses like what, three separate alphabets? One of which is heavily context-dependent? You're an absolute legend for bothering to give us this weighty chunk of Korone!

@Krawurxus

3 жыл бұрын

It's not so much the fact that there's three sets of characters, it's that this game for some reason uses some obscure ones that you don't see often (or at all nowadays). Most Japanese only know and need around half the kanji that are approved for general use give or take, and with modern word processing basically doing the thinking for you it's even less now than 25 years ago. Could be this game was simply made by someone who reads a lot more than Korone and so knows more characters from heart.

It's probably better to think of most kanji as more like words themselves than just another alphabet sometimes. Like even English speakers will run into complicated words they don't know the meaning of. Though it's a little worse in Japanese since you can't tell how a kanji is pronounced either(in games, some words will have the pronunciation above or below it in hiragana)

You may not prounounce it correctly, but it should more often than not be enough for the other person to understand. You can read, and at least approximately pronounce a word that you don't know. This is completely different in Japanese. If you don't know a kanji, you can't go and ask someone "what does xyz mean?", since you have no idea how it's even pronounced. You'd have to write the kanji you don't know to ask somebody about it. Though as Asra said, sometimes you have furigana that help with pronounciation. But not always.

@@1000drman Well yeah. But I'm not talking about English from a non-proficient perspective. I'm talking about English from a proficient perspective, versus Japanese from a proficient perspective. If confronted with a word they don't know in their respective language, the English person can at least take a guess to the pronunciation, and be usually understandable, I think. While the Japanese person can ... simply not. Even a person proficient in both languages will have the same problem. He can guess pronunciations of unknown words in English, but not of unknown kanji. Saying that English is more difficult for non-native speakers than it is for native ones is .. well, obvious. That is true for every language, including japanese. That's not an argument in any direction, imo. Also I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "where they don't have xyz". xyz in my text was just meant as a placeholder for an unknown word in the respective language. So an unknown English word for the English person, and an unknown Japanese word for the Japanese person.
