i have been summoned

氷 is not a chinese character japan made that

[remote sun]

so

so what

[midnight iris]

you can't say it's mandarin because no one uses that

i mean it's technically technically technically right

[remote sun]

since it means ice wiktionary seems to think it is just the character for ice

[remote sun]

this is bad nimisin after all

[midnight iris]

yeah because that's how wiktionary works

the simplified versions lead to the traditional for example

[remote sun]

and a japanese character links to a chinese character?

[midnight iris]

yes because it's a variant form

氷 came from 冰

[remote sun]

are you sure it's a kokuji? i couldn't find any evidence it was

https://kanji.jitenon.jp/cat/kokuji i doubt this list would exclude a concpet so simple as ice

[midnight iris]

it is according to wiktionary

[remote sun]

where

[midnight iris]

china may have used it but it's unlikely

[remote sun]

just because it's in the japanese section doesn't make it a kokuji

just means it's a regional variant

ALSO

it has a middle chinese (onyomi) reading

impossible for all kokuji except that one that meant gland

oh and 働

because phonetic component

checkmate kokuji-ists

japan didn't invent 氷, it just wrote it a bit differently

for something to be a kokuji it needs to be invented in japan

[midnight iris]

shit that's a reference you prob won't get

[remote sun]

[remote sun]

well technically you could call it a hanzi in the word k爁炎戎粢埃埃氷坮 specifically

here it's clearly a variant hanzi

[midnight iris]

it's actually a shinjitai

Oh ok

didn't get the idea but oke a

ohhhhh nvm

i take back what i said

[rocky thunder]

i actually think that french speakers might tokiponize [kʁwa.sɑ̃] as “kasan” because the nasalized vowel at the end can become a coda n (and it originated from an assimilated coda n which is reflected in the orthography)

i sometimes even turn my toki pona -n into nasalization, like /lon sona/ becoming [lõ.'so.na]

[rugged mortar]

i know this was written last week but it still made me chuckle

[reef marsh]

their tokiponization has a coda n though?

the only difference is that you handled the consonant cluster differently

or was that the wrong reply

Nú er ég með þetta." en málfræðilega séð er pi ekki eins og að nota eignarfall - annars mætti eiginlega segja að allar agnir virki þannig? og jú, þú gætir gert það. en svona. bíddu. þetta er bara kjánalegt.
