I'd like to mention that this is a very interesting thread to follow dispite the fact that I could never partake in it myself... but the fact that you guys post not only the kana for the kanji but also a translation makes it a very interesting read for any of us beginners

Also, I am very impressed by you all
 
Well, if you wanted to cheat... I could show you a way. (Not that I do, of course. I'm only going off of memory; I swear!)
 
What do mean by cheating? That was not part of the deal, I don't think.
I don't speak any Japanese, and I just hope to pick up some by playing this game.
But always WITH a dictionary or two. Is that a problem ?
And if it were, could you stop me ?
 
I don't have a problem with you using one; I just don't want to use one for myself. I also didn't want to give the impression that I was using one to generate new kanji. Well, I lied a bit: I do use one sometimes to get all of the readings, as they can be quite plentiful from time to time, or to confirm that I have the right readings. But as far as selecting a new kanji in the string, I go strictly by memory. I figure it's better for my brain excercise that way. So, by cheating I meant to use a dictionary to find a new kanji with one of the radicals from the previous one. But I'm only holding myself to that standard of not "cheating." ;-)

I like "sakuramochi"=桜餅.. yumm I don`t know how can I say sakuramochi in english..but it is a pink rice cake with cherry blossoms`s leaf. well,according to my dictionary... sakuramochi is " a rice cake filled with sweet bean paste and wrapped in a pickled cherry leaf"

女 probably shouldn't be in there, though, right?

I know my personal emotion has nothing to do with language, but I dread the thought of political correctness encroaching upon kanji. Written language is a convention that shouldn't need any purifying. I was genuinely surprised that there are people infuenced by Western ideas of political rectitude to the degree of purging kanji as well.
 
Just so you know, I edited the message so that it is now much clearer that there is a link there. I wasn't sure whether everyone would be able to see it, because it was so small.
