斤 means a unit of weight, about 600 grams. But if you add one line, 丘 it turns into a hill . A 600 gram hill?? Better yet, give the hill some “animal legs” and . . . poof! The hill turns into 兵; a soldier. Just like in real life! Kanji is starting to make sense to me. Get the soldier wet with water, and presto! 浜 he turns into a beach!! . . . and that is just the kanji which I have learned so far -- I’m pretty sure if I knew more kanji I could turn him into a platypus, the Chrysler Building, or a ziggurat with a cherry on top! |
