   @spdrcstl it's probably _the_ hardest writing system to learn of any language tbh

     different readings of the same kanji is kicking my ass...

     一, pronounced "ichi", meaning "one". cool.

     一つ, meaning "one thing"... pronounced "hitotsu"... sure okay totally different. but maybe it's just numbers that are like this...

     大した, adjective meaning "great" and using the same character for big, pronounced "taishita". cool, I learned tai or dai as a pronunciation for 大 already, makes perfect sense

     大きい, adjective meaning "big", pronounced "ookii". as in me saying "oh okay" out loud dejectedly
