I'm regularly using the NHK easy news site (NHK news written in easier to understand Japanese) and I only just found out that the Asahi Shinbun does one too... やさしい朝日新聞

Japanese never stops being full of surprises. 😁
I was wondering about ロコミ (rokomi) today, meaning word-of-mouth, but these days mostly "online review".
It turns out it's a (deliberate) mis-spelling of 口コミ (kuchikomi), with the same meaning, except 口コミ actually makes sense (the kanji 口 means mouth, and the katakana コミ is short for communication).No idea how this came to be, but language (and slang) is endlessly fascinating and exasperating in equal measures... 🤷

Watching the latest episode of 田鎖ブラザーズ (Tagusari Bros.), I noticed I'm finally picking up the different levels of polite speech I struggled with for so long (I still do, but it's a start 😅).
When one detective asks a medical examiner if she can talk to him for a moment, she asks 少しお話しいただけますか。 Later on, another detective asks a 19-year old the same question, but this time it's ちょと話せるか。
I take it as a good sign that I'm noticing these subtleties now (although I'm sure Japanese people do not consider them subtleties 😉).

I usually think Japanese is a more poetic, or at least more complex, language than English or German (the only two languages I'm fluent in), but sometimes you find it's the other way around.
I came across 盗作 (tōsaku) today, meaning "plagiarism", and realised that I can't think of a native single English or German word for this, only the Latin-derived term.
盗作 on the other hand is nicely simple - 盗 means "steal" and 作 means "make" or "production", so 盗作 is stealing what someone has made or produced. Related, the 作 kanji is also used in 作家 (sakka), meaning "author". I like these terms because they're easy to remember. 😊
BTW, there is another tōsaku, but written with different characters (倒錯), meaning "perversion" - but this, as they say, is a story for another day. 😅

I always thought 腹が立つ was really weirdly funny (literally it means "the belly stands up", but the actual meaning is to get angry, or pissed off).
There's a few more 腹 uses in this article 😁

#LearningJapanese question:
I started reading Japanese books (and I much prefer physical books), and I'm wondering how people deal with finding kanji they don't yet know. Without knowing how they sound, I can't easily look them up - I use the Takoboto dictionary app, and this lets you manually write kanji, but with more complex ones that's very timeconsuming.
Ideally I'd like something that lets me point my phone camera at a kanji (or word containing one or more kanjis), and look it up that way.
I know I can use things like Google Translate with my phone camera, but that translates everything it sees, and I then have to dig around to find the original word/kanji I'm interested in.
Are there any (Android) apps I'm not aware of that would help with this, or any other tips? ありがとうございます！

I made it halfway through #WaniKani 🙌 🇯🇵
Just another few years and I'll get to the end. I just have to live long enough. And I already know what 地獄 means. 😂

Shortened katakana words in Japanese are just the worst (but kind of fun, once you know them).
I came across スクショ today... So I think "sukusho", what on earth could that be? Turns out it's short for スクリーンショット (sukuriinoshotto, screen shot). 🤪

TIL that 探す and 捜す both read さがす and both mean "to search", but 探すmeans searching for something you want, and 捜す means searching for something you lost. 🤯

I learnt the term 親展 (confidential, as in "confidential document") on WaniKani the other day, and today was the first time I could use it in an email to a colleague in our Tokyo office. 😅

Took another TTBJ test. I did a bit better on comprehension, slightly worse on grammar-2 (but better on grammar-1!), and way better on Kanji reading!
7.3% increase in total score.

I appreciate it when Japanese words are very literal. I've just come across 各駅停車 ( かくえきていしゃ、kakuekiteisha). I hadn't seen it before, but I know all the four kanji, so you can put them all together and sometimes (not always 😁) the combination makes sense and you can get the meaning.
In this case, 各 each 駅 station 停 halt 車 car = local train (a train that stops at every station). 💡
