Hello everyone, I am Sarah ;D

and rochelle, the Japanese did borrow from Chinese. I think the most cool resemblances are:

電話
dian hua [chinese]
den wa [japanese]
telephone

and

圖書館
tu shu guan [chinese]
to sho kan [japanese]
Bibliotech

Of course, they are the same for both languages in terms of the characters.

It is strange isn't it. However, it's not so much that it bothers me, but sometimes I get angry when people refer to the chinese characters as "Kanji" which isn't necessarily wrong, but it irks me a lot. [though I do realize some 'kanji', the Japanese have made up and do not exist in Chinese]
