Street signs 4

-


Okay, so here we have a person crossed out for no entry and three kanji underneath.  All three of these kanji are really useful and all are in heaps of other compounds.

Reading; さ・ぎょう・ちゅう　(sagyouchuu)
Meaning; work in progresss

This is kind of like an under construction sign, in this case it was gardeners up ladders doing pruning.

Lets look at the kanji;


作　make, production さく、さ、つく（る）(saku, sa, tsuku(ru))

作る　make つくる　 (tsukuru)
製作　manufacture せい・さく　 (seisaku)

業　ぎょう　work, business (gyou)

産業　industry さん・ぎょう　 (sangyou)
企業　enterprise き・ぎょう　 (kigyou)

中　ちゅう　middle (chuu)

 中　inside, in なか　 (naka)
中国　China ちゅう・ごく　  (Chuugoku)

寿司　Japanese Shops 3

First lets look at the writing in black, this is the name of the shop and is also written in romaji at the bottom "nigiri CHOJIRO". Nigiri is sushi made of rice with a topping (fish, egg etc) on top.  This is the first image Japanese people have of sushi, as opposed to the rolled sushi with seaweed around it (which is called maki zushi).  Sushi shops sell both types, but nigiri sushi is slightly more popular than maki zushi.   長次郎 (ちょう・じ・ろう）　is just the name, and it is made up of; 長　(long)、次 (next),  郎　(son) 次郎 by itself is a very common traditional name, meaning second son. First son is 一郎　（いち・ろう）　(Ichiro) Third son is 三郎　（さぶ・ろう）(Saburo)  Now lets look at the white writing on red. There are three words on three lines, the first line at the top says; 活魚 Reading; かつ・ぎょ　(katsugyo) Meaning;　live fish 活　lively, living, かつ、い（きる）、い（かす）、い（ける）（Katsu, ikiru, ikasu, ikeru) grade: 2 frequency: 171 JLPT level: 3 　 活動　action,

Kansai Ben Part1

Kansai Ben (Kansai dialect) is spoken around Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe.  There are actually different dialects in each city, but the Osaka dialect is the most famous because Osaka is famous for stand up comedy. In Japan probably the most common way of communicating by cell phone is using an app called line.  I bought these Kansai emoji for my line account and despite there being no kanji I thought I would translate them for you.　　I have numbered them from top to bottom left to right, first is what it says, second is the standard Japanese, third is the english....
