体 versus 休

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2024.10.30

I use this app "wanikani" to study kanji. It shows me kanji, radicals, and vocabulary and I have to enter the English meaning and the correct Japanese reading. Right now I'm dealing with both of the following and I'm not doing awesome despite knowing the kanji and word for 'to rest' for fifteen years.

body (たい or てい but not からだ)
rest (きゅう but not やすみ)

Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.
