<< review queue entry 58566 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> We are missing the usual meaning: "Chinese characters native to China" (中國字), i.e. Hanzi. M LA GR ~ caractères; (lettres) de la langue d'un pays [In fact, the "(lettres) de la langue d'un pays" seems to be relatively rare. It seems that 國字 usually means "our nation's characters; hanzi".] Wiktionary @ 國字 1. Chinese character 2. (of Japan) Japanese characters (kanji); Japanese characters originally invented in Japan; kokuji 3. (of Korea) hangeul, the national Korean script 4. national script, the national writing system [No mention of "Chinese characters native to Korea" there.] J ~ That is why phonetic symbols are used in reading materials for Taiwanese primary schools. 所以，小学生的读本是在国字旁加了注音的，他们的作文也是国字与注音并用的。 TP ~ 持續性差，幾分鐘就換一種姿勢，一個小時寫不到二十個國字； She can't sit still, changing positions every few minutes. And she has a poor attention span; in an hour, she only writes about 20 Chinese characters. 而且國字、台語或英文隨意地拼貼混搭，十足「後現代」風格。 Moonspeak is also marked by a combination of Mandarin, Taiwanese, and English, giving it a post-modern flavor. --------------------------------------------------- Our definition makes it look like "kokuji" means "Chinese characters native to Japan". In fact, a) The Chinese word 國字 rarely means that as far as I can see. b) "Japanese kokuji" usually means something other than "Chinese characters native to Japan". Here is what "kokuji" (国字) means according to Kenkyusha's J-E dict: 1 〔国の正式な文字〕 the writing system of a country; a native script; 〔日本の〕 the Japanese script; Japanese writing. 2 〔ひらがな･かたかな〕 kana; hiragana and katakana; the Japanese syllabary; (one of) the phonetic characters of Japanese; 〔漢字にならって作られた日本製の文字〕 a kanji character created in Japan (not in China); Japan-originated kanji. Editor: 國字 means (nearly exclusively) "Chinese characters"; otherwise you'd have to say 韓國國字 etc (which might justify a gloss /Chinese-like characters native to Japan, Korea or Vietnam/) |
