Dear Japanese, what is your opinion of your writing system? Do

>>73096056
All "Japanese" people on this board are proxy weebs. Go to 2ch and ask there.

>inb4 some weeb claims to be an actual nip
proofs please

>>73096226
Not we arn't proxies

But mostly gaijins or some kind

>>73096056

Anyways like that Chinese characters are used.

What I hate is the innumerable inconsistencies in Kanji reading

大和 is やまと

Nothing to do with on or kun yomi. Just a word added to make meaning for a native word

白水 can be read as Shiro-mizu using Japanese native words or as Haku-sui using Sino Japanese

>>73096056
We use it and we love it.
That's all.

>>73096503
There's lots of unintuitive uses for kanji. Should Kun yomi be removed from kanji readings, leaving only the chinese pronunciations for characters? It would make more sense for the chinese characters to only describe chinese vocabulary

>>73096646
Your pal >>73096503 doesn't think so

>>73096503
I learned 氷室 a few weeks ago. Terrible.

Also why the fuck aren't you using romaji I don't want to have to learn a trillion characters seriously wtf

>>73096787
It's not as simple as that though. Languages such as Korean and Vietnamese that now use alphabetic scripts present a vast amount of words that are written down the same but have completely different meanings, so the nature of the problem switches.

but you can make the text smaller and it'll still be legible, while kanji won't be

>>73097166
That's not what he means anon kek
He means less keystrokes and characters. Japanese tweets are massive.

>>73097252
oh
well that's not very reasonable is it

Probably this is the real reason why we prefer kanji.

But I have no idea HOW TO teach Japanese.

can you just be my friend please (>_<)

Non-Jap here but I see no reason why to dislike the Japanese writing system other than the kanji you have to learn to make it readable.

Japanese is a homophonic language, so as >>73097584 pointed out, kanji is necessary as it is.

If I just said "Ha," what would it mean without context?
歯 (tooth) or 葉 (leaf) or just simply ハ?

What about "Hi"? 日 (day) 火 (fire) 比 (fraction) 非 (fault)

>>73099135
If you can understand with the context orally, why not on paper as well

>>73099328
Because, on paper, there is no context until you actually write one. And that itself could be easily misinterpreted if Japan changed the writing system.
