  • From what I understand (Don’t take what I say as correct as it may be wrong) but when 語(はな) hana, which is derived from 話す(はなす) hanasu which is the verb to speak, is paired with a nationality, with some exceptions of course like English which is 英語(えいご) eigo, it describes a language. So, pair 語(はな) hana with 日本(にほん) nihon, Japan in Japanese, then you get 日本語(にほんご) nihongo, meaning Japanese. Another example is French which is フランス語 (Furansugo).

    And 勉強 is the Kanji for べんきょ(benkyo) which means study.











  • I was selling an Xbox one and a dude got in touch with asking if he could trade something for it. I can’t remember what it was but I think it was slightly worth less than what I was selling for so I offered a deal. Give me this plus $100 and the Xbox is yours. He agreed so I traveled about an hour to meet him at a train station and met up with him.

    I give him the Xbox and he gives me the thing and looks me dead in the eye and says “Well, where’s my $100?”

    I don’t know how people can be like that. It baffles me. Needless to say, I just settled the deal with what he gave me since I just wanted that Xbox gone.






  • When I was in high school I was working in a grocery store for an after-school job. While on a weekend shift, a customer didn’t seem to be having a good day and lashed out at me for not being to find something. A lady who I’ve never seen before came to my defense and stood up for me against the guy and actually vouched for me to my supervisor who came to intervene. That was the last time I think anyone has ever stood up for me.
