憂鬱
Yuu utsu
Feeling down and sad
What CD was I listening to at the oral surgeon's office when I had my wisdom tooth pulled out?
The answer is Ryuichi Kawamura's 深愛～only one～. (Yah, I was told to bring my CD player and headphones to avoid listening to the high-pitched drilling noise...) It was a perfect pick!! It completely helped me gone through the ordeal. I think he is a very talented artist even though lot of guys can't stand him, his look or his singing. And his lyrics could be a little too much sometimes but I think he must be a charmer to be able to sing those words with such emotional intensity. :-) I think him going solo is a really good thing. I never knew who those other guys were in Luna Sea..
So how is the Kanji to be learned today related to the above paragraph? Not related at all... I just happened to be listening to the CD again and just decided to pick the difficult one, song no. 13 - 憂鬱 (ゆううつ) :-P
*I only need to learn the pronouciation since the words are the same in meaning and writing as Chinese.
あなたは憂鬱に感じることはありますか。
Anata wa yuu utsu ni kanjiru koto wa arimasuka?
Are there times when you feel down and sad?
*It is probably difficult to see all the strokes of the kanji. So here:
憂鬱

鬱 is the hardest Kanji I know weighing in at 29 strokes? Other Kanji I thought were hard are 朦朧 and 躊躇. By the way, I think the following sentence sounds more natural.
あなたは憂鬱になることはありますか。
Ha ha, don't you just love the hardest Kanji characters?
になる = to become...
に感じる = to feel ...
Is that the difference?
Well, we usually say を感じる (direct object) instead of に感じる. Plus, I thik the feeling in 憂鬱 is implied so it sounds a bit strange to feel a feeling. (Kinda hard to explain)
To feel a feeling? Yes, that's a bit odd. I got what you are saying now.
I just randomly pick that line from a web search using the kanji... I guess that's not the best way to go ...
While working in Japan, I asked my Japanese colleague if I can test his Kanji. He gave me a funny smile and told me he is not good at Kanji. But he is curious which Kanji I am going to test him. So I said "Yuu utsu". And he gives me this big smile and said "your request for me to write yuu utsu is making me very yuu utsu". What a funny guy! I am not sure if I am amused by his reply or because he just gave up without trying. :-P I am a silly person sometimes....
Heh heh, well the only reason I can write it is because it is so hard. I spent a lot of time on it. Everything else, forget it.
Another Kanji I thought was tricky was from the word 曰く. I was like, "What the? There's no such word." Then the lightbulb went off.
