Welcome to Gaia! ::

Time for an episode of "let's learn Nihongo!!"
In this episode we will discuss kanji as well as the days of the week.
Kanji are chinese characters adopted by the japanese as the basis for their writing styles. They had to introduce Hiragana to make Kanji useable with the already well developed Japanese language, but that's for another time.

One Kanji may have countless different readings, one reading if it alone or various other readings if it is attached to other Kanji. for instance, 木 (the Kanji for wood or tree)　by itself is read "Ki" but when attacked to something else it can read something else such as "Moku"

The Japanese based their weekdays after ours, so you may notice some similarities.
日曜日Nichi youbi- Sun Day
月曜日Getsu youbi- Moon Day
火曜日Ka youbi- Fire Day
水曜日Sui youbi- Water Day
木曜日Moku youbi- Wood/Tree Day
金曜日Kin youbi- Metal/Gold/Pay Day
土曜日Dou youbi- Earth Day

So. I have come to notice that there are a lot of unwritten rules in POTS that poke their way through at the worst times and often generate arguments (which has happened to me firsthand.) I say we The POTHEADS *massive cheering* should come together, crew and all, and throw these things that we say that aren't written down that we enforce as rules and then add them to the rule list. Speaking only of guild related matters, like the time me and Greg and some others got into a massive battle over learning another villages styles. While it did help me and Greg come to a consensus and stop arguing so much it could be avoided if the rules had stated that, even though it isn't anymore. (Disclaimer: That was just an example people. Let's not reopen old wounds.)

Ah thankies Lance.
