Kanji are the bane of my existence. sun book is Japan. the symbol for fish isnt used for part of the symbols for sushi.
some of them make at least some sense. Sun = day = date. I can get that. but Four = north?
the one that drives me batty is thing. Mono. Mo No. two symbols. why cant they squeeze those two symbols together, rather than generate two New Symbols?
Is there a book or set of books or guides that walks through Kanji parts? Duolingo acts like the symbols for Thing are their own ideas. If I could start to grasp the logic it probably wouldnt drive me up the wall. Case in point, how did sun book (Hi Hon) become Tokyo (to Ki yo subscript)???
I havent found a thing to do characters, so apologies for the englishization.
