2 more for Sunday 3rd September 06: 体 ＆ 作
All of these are from the JLPT 3 spec by the way...ーーーーーーーーーー
体
BODY, FORM
タイ、テイ
body, physique, health
からだ
ーーーーーーーーーー
本体
ほん・たい substance, real form
人体
じん・たい human body
死体
し・たい corpse
* See, this is what I love about Japanese. Death 死 + body 体= corspe 死体. Makes sense yeah? Of course, all this goes out of the window with other examples. I can't think of any outrageous examples at the moment - I'm sure that the old 'woman + apple = carburetor' isn't true... Anybody got any good examples of crazy Japanese kanji combos?
ーーーーーーーーーー
作
MAKE, WORK
サク、サ
to make, form, prepare
つく・る
ーーーーーーーーーー
作家
さ・っか author
作り話
つく・り・はなし fiction, made up story, myth
工作
こう・さく work, handicraft
