Japanese word of the day

ねこ (Hiragana)

描 (Kanji)

Meaning: cat 🐱

Pronunciation: ne-ko

Kanji breakdown:

The kanji for cat is borrowed from Mandarin and can be broken down in these parts: the right side of the kanji "苗 (なえ)" means "sapling" and the left side of the kanji 猫 translates to "ミョゥ" read as "myou" which is essentially the sound that cats make "meow"

this kanji basically means "meow sapling"

please feel free to add any other kanji detail I might've missed. This is my first time learning the kanji as well ~

い��ょにべんきょうしましょう！！がんばってね！

Romanji - issho ni benkyo shimayou!! Ganbatte ne!

Translation - let's study together! do your best!

The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa

I started this book over a year ago. I bought it while I was in Salt Lake City at a bookshop Nat took me to (although, if I am in a bookshop it’s very likely I am with Nat). I saw this book and just thought it would be a cute one to pick and read on my downtime. And obviously, it took me almost a year to read. Honestly I read the physical book for the first half and then listened for the last…

人間大好きのコウちゃんは、久しぶりに会った友だちに盛大に可愛がられてご満悦♪

人見知りのシアンはそんなコウちゃんを陰からこっそり見てたのかな笑

そんな時はシアンの方が猫らしいんだよ、と後から慰めてますw
