Japanese 2 - Lesson 22 - 日

日 , ひ is translated as day, fire. I believe that should be day, sun. Fire is the same pronunciation but a different kanji at least according to https://jisho.org/search/hi

The same problem occurrs in lesson 26. 今 does not ever mean living room, even though their pronunciation is the same.

Hello :slight_smile:
It is possible that the Japanese expert of Memrise read this topic but it is better that you post in the official forum of the Japanese course:

[Course Forum] Japanese 1-7 by Memrise

@KanaTsumoto is responsible for the official Japanese courses, for both English speakers and speakers of other languages.

Regarding your question, I looked at the Japanese course for British English speakers, and I did not find their question. So I remembered that you could be doing the American English version, and it really is written like you said. So, do not forget to inform that this is the Japanese course for American English speakers.

Hi Milamy,

Thanks for the response. I’m not sure I understand how this forum works. I don’t see any post feature on the Japanese forum. Should I just reply to a random post?

Hello :slight_smile:
When it’s a bug, you check to see if anyone has already created a topic with the same theme. If it exists, you post on the same topic. If not, you create a new topic.

In case of errors in an official course, you post in the official forum.
Every official course has a forum, and a specialist to answer.
If created by user, you need to search if the creator has a forum.

The official courses follow the nomenclature:

[Course Forum] “name of the course” 1-7 by Memrise

In the issues you posted in this topic, I believe the Memrise Specialist will respond to you here because I “called” her name using “@”. But in the next questions, the correct thing is to use the topic of the official Japanese course.

Yes I found the official Japanese course forums. Thanks. I still don’t know how to post to it. There is no visible post button. I would have to pick some unrelated post and reply to it. Is that correct?

Below the last message of each topic, there is a “reply” button. This button is a post for the topic (example 1). PS: I think that was your question from the beginning, I’m sorry.

If you want to respond to a particular person, you can use the reply button next to that person’s message (example 2).

I see. I was using my phone which doesn’t render the general reply bar to the right of the screen:

I could only see the reply to a specific post, and I don’t need to reply to the person worried about the pronunciation of the ‘ha/wa’ subject particle.

Thanks for your help!

Jake
