第二 Q&A

どうぞ　～　遠慮しないで下さい。

Hi Hi-Denki! Welcome to this discussion. To answer your question, 第 means more like chapter (like the next series of something). Like the chapters of a book or episodes of an anime. It has a more chronological notation whereas 番 is numerical (thats what i think anyway). Hope that makes since.

I see you're found 第一 and my other discussion. The former was kinda old and latter was discontinued (dont know why). So I decided to start 第二 hoping other people will join.

Q&A is simply that: a question & answer for ANY level and ANY questions. Feel free to ask any questions (I have asked ALOT to Max). Again, welcome!

well, lets say i'm asking you which one of the persons you are in a picture...and you say "i'm the second one from the right" then it's 「右から二番目です」

[Hi-Deki]

Ah you called me Hi-Denki thats like high powered electricity.
Thanks for the answer.
I should really give more thought on the meaning of kanji on this, they may give the same translation but still has a diffrerent meaning.
第一 wasn't titled 第一 but figured it out that it was this discussion 日本語で練習しましょう.

Yeah i figure Hi-Denki wasnt your real name but since it is your display name it was the only way i could refer to you.

[Hi-Deki]

日出来 - this set of kanji can't be use for a name does it
its weird unreadable and unsualy aint it
And my display name is Hi-Deki doesn't have the letter N on it
The name isn't really a big deal but I just don't like being refered with the wrong name.

[Shia]

Oh cause before you said it meant high powered electricity and [electricity] is [denki] 電気 with a N, and you also referred to yourself as Hi-Denki in the previous post so im just a little confused. 出来(る) means [can do] by the way.

[Hi-Deki]

What do you call a word thats compose of 2 kanji or more
1 word 3 kanji is called?
1 word 4 kanji is called?
1 word 5 kanji is called?

[Shia]

I've never seen a 5 kanji word before and im struggling to think of a 4 kanji word. You got any particular examples?

[Hi-Deki]

I readed about this on a book,a word composed of 2 kanji is called?
I just can't remember, cause I only readed the word ones and didn't bother about it till I thought that it would be nice to practice on it.
If you where to search about this word you should see a collection of words that is composed of 2 kanji.

Hi-Denki = [(Hi)=High (電気)=Electricity ] I thought you mispelled my name intentionaly as a pun with the addition of ん.
And as high powered as in refering to my personality as energetic (haha my imagination is just to wild)

I wanted my name to be 日出来 because of it having 出来(る) and 日 for day, which would have an abstract meaning of aruhi.

[Max]

日出（にっしゅつ）means "sun rise"
出来（しゅったい）means "occurrence; happening; taking place"

I'm not really sure how 日出来 could be a name, why would it?

for how long have you been studying Japanese?

[Hi-Deki]

It can't be really its made up
(its weird unreadable and unsualy aint it) - as i said on my previous post
5 years studying, on the 3 years I wasn't really serious then on this past 2 years really taking it seriously now even with the little time a have to study.

[Shia]

I figure that anything more than 3 kanjis would be a combination of english words. For example: 東京大学校: while that has 5 kanjis its actually 2 words (Tokyo University). Same with 4 kanji (電話番号: phone number), and sometimes even 3 kanji (結婚式: wedding ceremony) and 2 kanji (氏名: full name). I would be really interested to see ONE word with 5 kanjis.

マスさん、どう思いますか。
