Yes, but when we all just type, it's just as fast

@@li_tsz_fung Typing is something else from writing.

A few strokes would not make a whole lot of difference in writing speed, and the simplification by discarding parts of the character breaks the association of similar types of character or loses the part that makes up the pronunciation, making them less efficient.

@@fu7725 I myself believe that traditional characters are far more better than simplified, because of the same reason. Even though I am a Greek, I'm fascinated with China, Japan and Korea and their culture.

@@Triantafyllos_Strantzalis I wholeheartedly agree haha, I'm about done with an add-on IME that allows you to type in 正字體 and traditional kana orthography for this exact reason.

That’s so cool. I’d love to learn Chinese when I’m done with Japanese

kanji are chinese characters. there is some slight localization, but they are not japanese. They're just a selection of chinese characters, some of them being (or were) widely used in china, and some of them being less used. Actually, "Kanji" litterally means chinese character, like saying "kanji" out loud is litterally saying "chinese character" in japanese 漢 Kan = China/Chinese (or han dynasty from China) 字 Ji = Character They took it as is from china, aside from a few they slightly altered. Another fun fact : its also the reason why they use hiragana, because Chinese characters were not meant for the japanese language, which is completely different to chinese (not even the same family) and it was (and still is) so complicated and messy they decided to connect the dots with an alternative writing to simplify their writing system and make it easier to use, but it still is funamentally flawed (although it works surprisingly well, but only in the end). I wouldnt go into details because it would take me too long, but thats also why learning kanji is so hard, its like a maze you need to know most of the roads and exits to actually be able to understand it, while in chinese it is way, way more natural.

@@khalilahd. its a long way down, either japanese or chinese

@@khalilahd. I wish I would pick up Japanese again someday, I took Japanese in college but the class discontinued and so I couldn't advance. I love the three Japanese writing systems Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji, since Chinese is my mother tongue, I love the ingenuity of how the Japanese adapt their language to the Chinese language which is very different. Kanji in Chinese is called 漢字 ㄏㄢˋㄗˋ Hanzi, and I use Zhuyin.

That's because they are. 'Old Kanji' (Kyujitai) are based upon the forms found in the Kangxi dictionary, whereas 'New Kanji' (Shinjitai) are simplified versions of those characters

めちゃくちゃ分かる！

體(体:からだ)

A good mnemonic for sure, but the character is formed from a phonetic-semantic coupling; namely 骨 being the meaning and 豊 the sound. Also of note is that , 豊 is used to mean lush/abundant today, but is originally a character used to describe a ceremonial vessel or as a variant for 禮 (礼). The proper character that describes lush/abundant is of course 豐.

@@DASmallWorlds Yes, I remembered that Japanese-豊 is = Chinese-豐。 In Chinese, 豊 is read as "lǐ", also 禮(礼)lǐ：gift, 體(体)tǐ：body. And in Chinese, 豐 is read as "fēng", and 豔(艳艷) yàn, 鮮豔：鮮やかな

Learn radicals brother instead of kanji

Traditional characters are not tremendously more difficult than the modern versions to remember once you know the radicals, it's just slightly more tedious to write.

I agree, modern Kanji look like simplify Chinese

They are also used in mainland China now in somewhere

It's a mixture of simplified and traditional Chinese with occasional twist of their own.

@@leungandrew1026 There's a good reason why. 100 years ago, everybody used the same traditional Chinese script. But Japan did its own simplification for some characters in the 1940s, while the PRC did its own in the 1950s. Because at that last time, Taiwan was not under PRC and Hong Kong was still a British colony, neither standard was adopted in those places. Malaysia and Singapore used simplified characters that were brought there by immigrants from the PRC.

@@user-yc1zr7ty3i 本当です。

その通りですよ 正字は、正しい字という意味ではなく、正式な時に使う字という意味で、手書きの時は書写体で書かれていました 明治時代に国語教育が始まり、正字（康煕字典体）で統一されて学習されたので、その頃から一般でも康煕字典体で書く事が増え始めましたけどね ですから昔は難しい漢字を書いてたって印象があるわけですが、実際はたかだか100年前ぐらいの話です（それでも書写体はよく書かれていました）

As a mainland Chinese resident, I think Simplified Chinese is a totally failure.

Its original intention was to help illiterate people learn writing quickly, after the founding of the PRC. However, in the process of simplification, because a large number of kanji with different meanings were merged and the radicals of many kanji were replaced, even also experienced secondary simplification (During this period, some people's surnames were changed and even new ones were created), The results are actually somewhat confusing.

Today, the kanji used by mainland Chinese are simplified Chinese from the provisions of the 《通用规范汉字表 (通用規範漢字表, the Common Standard Chinese Characters Table)》, but usually, traditional Chinese is still used for calligraphy and couplets.

In Macao, like Taiwan and Hong Kong, we mainly use the traditional one, not the simplified one .

@@fu7725 It's not as if every kanji is an ideogram or pictogram.

That's how most alphabets start life, actually. The tiny pictures got simplified overtime when they started being used to represent only sounds instead of whole words and ideas.
