It's written down below the graph

Anki works great for me. I bought some kanji books and added Anki collections made from those books.

Using the book for studying and Anki for reviewing really boosted how much I retained what I learnt, without the hassle of creating cards myself (I'm just lazy)

I didn't know Kagi had a maps functionality. It's interesting, but I couldn't find a way for it to tell me public transportation directions, the only reason I keep using Google Maps...

This form varies depending on what the "condition" is in the sentence. It is slightly different for i-adjectives, na-adjectives, nouns and verbs.

This is what I wanted to comment. I added this list and it works like a charm.

I was getting side tracked by these YouTube shorts all the time and it started becoming an issue. They are too addictive and mostly just void.

I tried watching it as an alternative universe from Halo, but the way they plainly portrayed the fall of Reach was so dull and fast that I had to stop there.

It was just like whoops, Covenant came, we can't do anything other than a dozen soldiers fighting in the city. Another planet, let's move on 🤷‍♂️

Sorry for the ignorance, but what kind of uses does it have on a watch?

Is it for scrolling through your feed in the watch screen? Is it good?

Jisho shows 花金 for the main dictionary entry and 華金 as an alternative, so I believe 花金 is more common, but as the other comment says both kanjis have very similar meaning so they both should be ok.

I'm a native speaker, I'll subscribe to that community and see if I can contribute anyhow 😁

Very unique kanjis indeed

I love those random vending machines at the end of hiking spots in Japan. They take convenience seriously haha

That's awesome. Just by Café Tacvba and Caifanes I'd be already very hyped

 

I recently moved to a Asus Zenfone 10 from my Google Pixel 6 pro, and Zenfone's size is great.

I missed having a phone that fits well in my hands and pocket and doesn't feel like carrying a brick.

I agree that Pixels are great. Good cameras and performance, but 95% of the time outside I just need access to my chats and Google Maps.

I wished that there were more flagship options that are not so big!

There's a dish in Japan called 親子丼(おやこどん) which is a chicken + eggs rice bowl. 親子(おやこ) can be translated as parent and child, which was a bit disturbing the first time I knew about it.

This week, I didn't have chicken to prepare it so I searched for alternatives and found two:

  • 他人丼(たにんどん)which replaces chicken with pork and means strangers haha. Also called 継子丼(ママコどん) meaning stepmom bowl.
  • 開花丼(かいかどん)which is the beef version. Meaning "blooming" bowl.

Do you know any other interestingly named dishes like this?

 

For example in this episode's poem:

天(そら)に響めく(どよめく) まやかしの

捉う心(とらうこころ)にはしる旋律(せんりつ)

For me it's interesting that the kanji used for そら (sky/heaven) is not the usual 空 but 天 which is never read そら, usually read てん, but it conveys the meaning of heaven more than 空.

I've seen Bleach doing it several times in the poems
