姦

Looks like some sort of building.

>>5303869
No way, is that real?

Whichever one means "the pleasure of being cummed inside", and I'm sure that if you can express a phrase like that in one character you can sure as hell do this one.

>>5303904
No.

Beat me to it.

>This will display as 氈, which is merely 文字化け, unless you have the font "Mojikyo M112" installed.
Damn.

taito = repeat three times two kanjis

>>5303921
>Taito (Japanese: 氈) is a Japanese indigenous kanji

Wow, when you think that the Japanese couldn't fuck up their own language enough... I shudder to think what the other indigenous kanji look like.

my favorite is 一

志

My favourite:

八

水

父

This one looks like a depressed bunny, a bit like me.

I made you a new one

>>5304098
this

Fucking hell. It must take like a minute just to write that one character.

>>5304120
Longer.

>>5304106
I think it would look better if you replaced 中 and 出.

>>5304148
But the nit wouldn't be inside

>>5304148
Also, I was actually thinking about using 女 instead 中.

But that would be discriminating gay people.

雨
It looks like rain on a window.

Definitely 毛

>>5304120
How the fuck often would you seriously be trying to write to someone an 84 stroke kanji, the longest of all the Japanese kanji, meaning "the appearance of a dragon in flight"?

>>5303911

>>5304220
I'd use it every day.

>>5304120
How the fuck often would you seriously be trying to write to someone a rare 84 stroke kanji meaning "the appearance of a dragon in flight"?

>>5304243
Sorry. I misread the TOW article.

>>5304051
Most of them look pretty normal. Here's a list of the more common ones: http://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/kokuji-list.html
Also, China too has a few of those huge kanji with 50+ strokes.

My favorite kanji is probably 式
Partly because of how it looks, partly because しき sounds really cool (when said like the Japanese usually pronounce it, not as "shicky" or something), because of its connotation and meaning that is not really translatable, and probably also because of Ryougi Shiki from Kara no Kyoukai.

夢 is another favorite of mine, the thing on the pic is not mine though.

>>5304220
>>5304255
So, what is the world's most complex/longest Japanese kanji any way?

What the fuck, it's just the same two kanji written three times each. What is the point of that?

LINE.

Gotta be 尻.

裸

щ

I like 畠　(I think it is kinda cute to write) and 顔

>>5304070
Yeah I like kokorozashi.

How about compounds? I like 永遠

>>5304410
I still can't pronounce that. That words evil.

>>5303896
Why do you like foursomes so much...
..wait...

Jap media got me interested in Chinese characters, which is the reason why I'm now learning Chinese instead of Japanese.

>>5303869
>>5304434
which one? Eien? ay-en.

Kokorozashi? ko-ko-ro-zash

>>5304434
You should meet 雰囲気

>>5304458
That's not so bad. It's almost like you take the n in fun, and move it between i and ki.

How do you know when to use on or kun? I don't know Japanese but eg the VN title 車輪の国、向日葵の少女 is transliterated as sharin no kuni, not sharin no koku. How can you tell?

>>5304486

You don't, outside of the usual case in which the okurigana provides you with any clues.

>>5304529
So why then is SnK transliterated/read as kuni, and not koku?

>>5304486

Also, kanji in isolation are hardly ever read as single words, just like Greek/Latinate stems in English. 国 read as こく isn't even a word according to EDICT.

>>5304486
98% of the time, a kanji used in a certain way (whether it be alone or in a compound) will have one way to pronounce it, and you just memorize them. The other 2% comes from nightmares like 避ける, 開く, and 大事. You

>>5304410
永遠 is cool, but while I like kanji-rich Japanese, I generally prefer 和語 over 漢語.
Also, the Japs should really use more Kanji for common loanwords, like they do for 煙草, 頁 and 釦.

>>5304437
Lulz, I got interested in Jap media because of Chinese characters. I have no idea what I'd read with a knowledge of Chinese. I looked up what their best-selling books of all time are, and they were "The Life of Glorious Chairman Mao" and "The Poems of Glorious Chairman Mao"... not interested.
Also, sure, the Chinks of course use more 漢字, but Kana aren't really all that bad when not used in excess. Also, the PRC's character set makes each character look a lot less different from the others, which reduces reading speed, thus defeating one of the main points for me to learn them. Inb4 Taiwan & Hong Kong.

>>5304553

I just re-read that. To clarify, kanji in isolation are rarely read as single words *using their on-reading*. Usually in those cases it's a native Japanese word. There are considerable exceptions in all cases, and rules of thumb do not get you far.

>>5304544
Because 国 is pronounced kuni. It's only Koku when it's combined with something.

Blame it on Japan using Chinese glyphs to represent similar concepts whose words may or may not be related.

>>5304622
>Inb4 Taiwan & Hong Kong
Well damn, I was going to mention them. Now what do I do?

>>5304486
On are almost always used in compounds. You need to memorize the ones that don't. Kun are often used when the kanji is alone and also accompanies by a hiragana character if used alone. So if you see a Kanji and it's not part of a compound and followed by a hiragana, it's the kun reading.

戦 or 勝

雷 is nice with the rainy field.

>>5303869
That's such a kawaii kanji OP :3

>>5304070
Oh, it's the first one in 志方あきこ's name.

I never looked into the individual reading of it before.

>>5304622
"smoke-grass". I like that but I'm also really just well content with using katakana for foreign words.

>>5304696
Whereas I had no idea 志 could just be pronounced as し

>>5305216
妹?

糞

>>5304070
Oh hey, Chinkfag here.

That's the second half of my given name.

    雲
雲龘雲
  龘龘

>>5304434
oops, i read that as 遠慮
永遠 isn't bad

国宏
Can anyone tell me the romanized pronunciation of these characters would be?

乙

御 . That way I don't have to worry about the correct pronuciation for that honorific prefix! (^_^)

Example: 御飯 (go-han), 御願い (o-nega-i)

According to my dictionary, this isn't rape, it's "cunning and wickedness." Which is what three 女 together are bound to be.

>>5306031
That's what it's 'bound' to mean in regular usage?
Alright.
Keep believing that.

>>5306031
Japanese are misogynist to the max yo

There are loads of complicated kanjis that 90% of native speakers will be unable to read. They can seem pretty cool to people learning the language, but to natives they give a similarly pretensious feel as long latinate words in English. Katakana bastardisations of even relatively simple words are getting more and more common every year. Heck, even the names of pretty much all animals on Wikipedia are in katakana.

I once learned to write 魑魅魍魎 on a dare (easier than it looks, it just consists of parts of other kanjis). About half of Japanese people don't recognise it, and the rest can't write it. So far I've only met one Chinese person who was able to write it, and not a single soul who thought it was cool. Bawwww.

So, during war, there's a lot of people, right?
So there's a lot of women, right?
And you can do a lot of shit on a battlefield that you couldn't get away with otherwise, especially if they're your enemy, right?

>>5306031
Aw, shit, man. I remember asking my college teacher about this one. She said I was too young, and I was fuckin' 25 years old! God bless the Intertubes.

Goddamn Kanji, man.
I don't belong here.

>>5306143

It actually turns up in nerdy stuff every now and then. Someone in the Ninja Gaiden 2 trailer said it, there's a manga with it as its title, and the reasonably popular band Onmyouza released an entire album with it as its name. Probably mentioned somewhere in Touhou too.

弓 is cool.

I like the ones that actually look like what they mean

>>5306104
>>5306132

Big Bird?

>>5306195

It's just an elongated "horse"

You're confusing it with 鳥

>>5306154
Wow, you're teacher fucking sucked.

I'm so sick of that mentality.
It's an adult language course for fuck's sake. We want to be able to understand mature concepts.
Don't treat us like children. What the hell do they think you'll do with that knowledge any way?
Go around Japan screaming "RAPE RAPE RAPE" at the top of your lungs?
It's better for them to explain it than for you to mistakenly interpret it wrong because you misunderstood the context or someone was fucking with you.

>>5306186
No joke. Why can't the all be like that?
WTF Japan

>>5306223
Because tradesmen.

>>5304189
I like 雨 too, I like rain, it was one of the first kanjis I learned/recognized, before I even knew the kana.

>>5306263

I was wondering if someone would post this.

Comedy genius detected.

電

OP's kanji doesn't appear in my IME, I'm going to go ahead and say that it doesn't exist.
Regardless, it isn't nearly as hard as: 鬮

>>5306333
And there are kanji that didn't fit into that Unicode Bit Plane, too. Doesn't mean they don't exist.

>>5306333
>鬮
What the dick? It reminds me of a Castlevania stage.

My favourite looking kanji. One of the ridiculously few I know.

No 凸凹 yet? I mean, just look at that. It's Tetris, but it's words!

>>5306382
Chin-chin goes where?

龞

I like how all the lines blur together at regular font size.
How are the Japanese and Chinese not blind?

>>5306333
that kanji is piss-easy, it's just 龜 and 鬥, the alternate forms of 亀 and 門.

>>5306487
When I see this kanji, I see Kraid.

>>5306507
>>5306487
Erm, the tortoise one. 龜

>>5306513
yeah, I figured you'd mean that. Thanks for sharing, cool association.

>>5306480
This. Newspapers are even worse. How do they do it?

>>5306487
"Gyomon"?

>>5306551
I used to need my kanji to be xbawks-huge so I could read them. After a while though, you start recognizing all the characters just by their general shape instead of having to look at all the strokes/radicals one by one.

>>5306480
Well they do have the largest percentage of near-sighted people for a reason.

>>5306595
that reason being vidya games, probably.

>>5306551
Asians are not born with slanty eyes. They develop them trough years of excessive squinting.
