Again. Shows up okay but after I post

It’s because of Chinese, which doesn’t have the L shape on the left.

Still going on the Wanikani restart. Have a mountain of reviews it will take me many months to get through.

Try not to look at it all after a certain hour at night. Also tinker with the review order preferences.

One thing that can be crazy making is all the things that have similar definitions, all the single kanji and kanji strings that mean law and rule for example.

Also, to return to this thing from earlier:

Kanji in this term
馬 鹿
Etymology
Probably originally a transcription of Sanskrit मोह (moha, “folly”), used as a slang term among monks.[1][2][3]

it's such a useful word that i've come to use in english too. nice to have a non-ableist light insult word

My wife thought that the Chewbacca character in Star Wars was named with this in mind.

Still back on wanikani, trying not to get overwhelmed.

I’m trying it but the site seems really hard to navigate and use

Don’t use the site! Use the app instead. Oh but you need an iPhone, I think.

Where the app is called Tsurukame.

Ahh thx

apparently i have a complete inability to remember these:

引き取る
引き返す
引き受ける
引き止める
取り上げる

generally i've been able to pick up words over time without having to single them out and come up with mnemonics or whatever, but i'm so sick of getting these wrong for months

Should I take advantage of Satori Reader cybersale?
