bewitched and enchanted by the japanese system of compounding things...the lexical compound verbs...the 3-4+ kanji nouns...the thing i talked about the other day with the agglutinative verb morphology and 7 million single-meaning prefixes stacking on each other...so lovely and fascinating

#mine #i learned my first quad-kanji compound noun recently :)#自由研究!! which is like independent research or a school research project #i was peeking at the nhk news web easy site which im still not quite good enough to read yet but im making a lot of progress #and i found the section for schoolkids and i was like omg yes this is for me #and then i saw those 4 together and i was like...don't i know you guys...#自由 = freedom liberty independence etc (rahhh eagle emoji. just kidding)#研究 = research study investigation etc #and i was like omg...independent research?!?!?! felt so proud of myself for getting it #and now it sits beautifully in my flashcards...#i rly am so charmed by the compounding i dont think theres anything like it in english or spanish #not to say that theres no compounding at all because of course there is but in jp it just seems so...full and fleshed out you know #and it's really fun to engage with :)
