Ep. 5: Kanji Tidbit

I introduced kanji 園, garden, and 船, ship in previous two episodes.
This is the third. And final kanji story. I don’t have anymore.
Let’s start shall we?

Could we please imagine that we are in the garden?
Now, you can see tree (木).
It is located centre of the garden.
Let me see, there is two trees!(木, 木)
Look at that!
Can you see there are delicious-looking fruits are growing on the trees?
Hummm… looks nice for food.
Shall we eat? No? Errrrr… Could I try just one please? No?
Okay, then I don’t.
Yes, we can’t eat this fruits because this is prohibited
Two trees are here 木, 木. And here’s creator 示.
Put it under the tree. Then what kanji can you see?
禁!Yes. This kanji means forbidden or to warn.
Do you know the name of trees, by the way?

And now, we go back to first kanji 園.
Can you recall that?
Do you remember the two people inside enclosure?
Actually, they ate fruits, and had to leave the garden.
Now enclosure has removed. Because they were expelled from the garden.
袁 is here. No enclosure. And 遠is here, attached 辶.
遠means distance. 辶shows walk.
They must have gone for distance. They walked far far away from the garden.
Let’s revision now.
They were in the “garden”. 園
They ate fruits from tree which was “forbidden”. 禁
They had to walk away long long “distance” from the garden. 遠

Kanji is interesting.
Some recalls biblical story.
It might be far-fetched story, but still interesting.

Corrections

Ep. 5: Kanji Tidbit

Oh, that's the word you were talking about. I like it. It fits.

I introduced kanji 園, (garden,) and 船, (ship) in the previous two episodes.

AThis is the third and final kanji story.

Combining the sentence from before with this.

I don’t have anymore.

Don't need this since you said "final" in the previous part.

Let’s start(Well,) shall we begin?

Another way of saying this.

Could we pleaseLet's imagine that we are in thea garden?

"Could we please" is asking the reader to do something. But since the reader is more or less expected to imagine the garden, it is better to just say "let's imagine." Less asking and more "we will be imagining the garden right now."

Now, you can see a tree (木).

It is ...located in the centre of the garden.

You can connect to the previous sentence like this.

Let me see, there isare two trees!(木, 木)

Use 'are' when using with multiple things.

Look at that!

Can you see that there are delicious-looking fruits are growing on the trees?

Hummm… looks nice forlike some good food.

Shall we eat?

No?

Errrrr… Ccould I try just one please?

No?

Okay, then I dwon’t.

Yes, we can’t eat thise fruits because ithis is prohibited

Two trees are here 木, 木.

And here’s the creator 示.

Put it under the tree.

Then, what kanji can you see?

禁!Yes.

This kanji means forbidden or to warn.

Do you know the name of the trees, by the way?

And now, we go back to first kanji 園.

Can you recall that?

Do you remember the two people inside the enclosure?

Actually, they ate the fruits, and had to leave the garden.

Now, the enclosure hais removed because they were expelled from the garden.

Connecting this with the one after.

袁 is hereThis is 袁.

NoSee, there is no more enclosure.

And 遠is here, has 辶 attached.

means distance.

shows walking.

They must have gone foa far distance.

They walked far, far away from the garden.

Let’s revisione this now.

They were in the “garden.

Periods and commas go inside parenthsis.

They ate fruits from tree which was “forbidden.

They had to walk away long, long “distance” away from the garden.

Kanji is interesting.

Some recallseven resemble biblical storyies.

ItThese might be far-fetched storyies, but stillare interesting nonetheless.

"Nonetheless" is like saying "A but still true." "A but B nonetheless."

(This is not based on academic research. )

(But I want to whisper to you, “I Hhope you like it.”)

AThis is the third and final kanji story.

Haha! This was my silly strategy.
I learned “do not abuse comma”.
So I think I have to done something.
I just put period instead comma.
(gasp)Eep! Busted?

If the listeners are kindergarten kids like 5 or 6 yrs old, can I say this? Teachers have tendency to tell them same thing different way. So i put it just for imitating teachers. Still better not?

Yeah, there are a lot of rules. Personally, I’m not good with the names of each rule nor can I explain them properly (sorry about that). I studied grammar, but only memorized how to use it. I still had to go through grammar textbooks in high school even as a native speaker!

Speaking no need comma. That’s why. I just realised it! hahaha. I didn’t know comma is that difficult!

I introduced the kanji 園, (garden), and 船, the kanji 船 (ship), in previous two episodes.

purely stylistic, most sites that teach kanji online and/or textbooks use this type of sentence

This is the third, and final kanji story.

i couldn't find a method to merge two sentence into one here, sorry! this is how most people would write it, since having "and" at the beginning of a sentence is grammatically incorrect.

And final kanji story.

I don’t have any more.

Let’s start, shall we?

Could we pleaseLet's imagine that we are in thea garden?.

if it's a request, "please imagine" also works

Now, you can see a tree (木).

It is located in the centre of the garden.

Let me see, there isare two trees!(木, 木)

Can you see there are delicious-looking fruits are growing on the trees?

Hummm… looks nice for foodtasty.

tasty isn't the only word that can be used here, and it is pretty informal. another word is "delicious"

Shallould we eat it?

Okay, then I dwon’t.

Yes, we can’t eat thisose fruits because thisat is prohibited

And now, we go back to the first kanji 園.

Can you recallRemember that?

when native english speakers ask each other if they remember something, they usually don't say "can you". we just say "remember that" or "remember this". remember is also a much more common word than recall

Do you remember the two people inside the enclosure?

Actually, they ate the fruits, and had to leave the garden.

Now the enclosure has been removed.

Because they were expelled from the garden.

i would merge this sentence and the last one to say "Now the enclosure has been removed, because they were expelled from the garden." conjunctions like "and" and "because" don't go at the beginning of sentences, they are used to join two sentences or topics together.

NThere's no enclosure.

And 遠 is here, with 辶 attached.

means distance.

show means walk.

They must have gone for distanceaway.

They walked far, far away from the garden.

Let’s revisione now.

They ate fruits from the tree, which was “forbidden”.

They had to walk away long long “distance” away from the garden.

Some recallsference biblical storyies.

It might be a far-fetched story, but it's still interesting.
