華百克
It seems that that three kanji has no meanings as a compound or sentence. Individually, each kanji roughly means "flower/gorgeous", "hundred", "to overcome", respectively.
華百克Hello all, I've had this calligraphy since I was about 10 or so. I went with my mom to the Asian Culture Festival in Phoenix one year and there was a booth set up where you could have your name done in calligraphy. I was about 11 when I came to the realization that it wasn't a translation of my name but something else when we had a guest speaker at elementary school who was fluent in Chinese and Japanese who asked us if anyone knew any kanji. I raised my hand and drew the middle kanji on some paper, to which she exclaimed "Good! That means 'one-hundred'." Since then, I've wondered exactly what it says. For all I know it could say "I want your little gaijin brat to have 100 lashings", whatever it says, I like it and am curious.
Anyway, if you could help me out with a translation, that would be sublime.:
姐 isn't used to address family members, but お姉[ねえ]さん/姉さん/お姉ちゃん/姉ちゃん is also used to address a (relatively young) woman the speaker doesn't know.Konbanwa minasan,
I came across 姐 while reading random kanji in order to practice a bit more speed in reading. The online dictionary at saiga-jp.com says it means, elder sister or woman. It also says that 姐御 is used to refer to a female boss, or the wife of your boss, but it's use is mainly restricted to the yakuza world. D: Is that true?
Furthermore, in my kanji studies I recently came across 姉 which also means elder sister. Is there a subtle difference between the two in that 姐 is used when addressing women who are not blood related? And, 姉 is used to address family members or women who you would consider to be "like" a sister?
That would be my first guess, but I thought I would make sure.

姐御 is sort of like slang for a take charge, no nonsense 男勝り lady with the cool and tough attitude who may or may not be a crime boss type...Konbanwa minasan,

お姉[ねえ] (with no さん/ちゃん) can be used as a slang to mean "nonmuscular/feminine man", as in お姉言葉. So you need to take care to use this word.Hmm, so お姉 can be used to address both a relatively young woman and also family members.

Ok. I'm new on this forum, this is my first post. I'm not trying to learn Japanese, yet.. as I'm currently studying latin languages. To the point:
Approx. 10 years ago I got a tattoo, some kind of Kanji symbol. It was from the Sepultura Album "Against" from 1998, where the band had a project together with the Japanese percussion group "Kodo". I did not know what it meant, it just "looked cool", so I didn't really care.
Was I drunk when I got it? - No. Was I stupid? - Maybe... :?
Well, 10 years later, I still don't know what It means, but I have started searching for answers. In my search I stumbeled across this forum and I hope someone can help me.
Ok, so here it is:...
#2 自由[jiyuu]: free/freedomHi there!:
I'm new to the forum and I hope you can help me with my "Kanji problems".
I would be really, really, really proud if someone could help me. ^^
#2 自由[jiyuu]: free/freedom
#3 忠[chuu]: loyalty
#4 命運[meiun]: fate/destiny
#5 福[fuku]: fortune/good luck/happiness
#6 信任[shinnin]: trust/confidence
#1 and #7 are not Japanese kanji but simplified Chinese. They are the equivalents to "愛[ai]: love", "縁[en]: relation/fate/chance" in Japanese, respectively.
BTW, what is this for?
WWWJDIC: Word SearchKonichiwa Minasan,
boku no hon wa, discovered these two kanji 愛 恋. I see from the most recent question that 愛 means love. My book also refers to them both as love, but just for clarification, 愛 refers to romantic love, while 恋 refers to platonic love, correct?
Sorry for the fragmented romaji, but I thought I would practice a little :emoji_grinning: One day, I'll get around to figuring out where all the hiragana and katakana keys are when I switch to the Japanese keyboard.
No. 恋 refers to "romance/being in love with someone." 愛 has more wide meaning, as in "人類愛; love for all mankind", "家族愛; family love."boku no hon wa, discovered these two kanji 愛 恋.
