Clothes that native speakers who understand kanji and Japanese would never wear.
In my last article, I wrote "Clothing introduction with LAME English writing that makes no sense".
In this issue, we will discuss clothing with Kanji or Japanese characters written on it.
Clothing with Kanji and Japanese writing is in very small circulation compared to English.
This is natural compared to English, which is the universal language of the world.
However, there are many people around the world who are captivated by the charm of Kanji and Japanese.
Celebrities and musicians have kanji tattoos and items with kanji and Japanese writing on them.
And just like in English, there are many clothes (and tattoos and accessories) with kanji and Japanese written in the wrong spelling or usage.
Since Japanese is a highly challenging language, the probability of making a mistake may be much higher than in English.
Here are some clothes (and tattoos, accessories, etc.) with kanji and Japanese words that make no sense, as seen by native Japanese speakers.
Japanese: 自己嫌悪
English: self-hatred
Roman Alphabet: ji ko ken o
Japanese: 甘党
English: sweet tooth
Roman Alphabet: ama tou
Japanese: 極度乾燥しなさい
English: super dry
Roman Alphabet: kyoku do kann sou (shi na sa i)
*Even the Japanese don't know what it means.
Japanese: 糞
English: sh*t
Roman Alphabet: kuso
Japanese: 巨根
English: big co*k
Roman Alphabet: kyo kon
Japanese: 台所
English: kitchen
Roman Alphabet: dai dokoro
Japanese: 新生活
English: new life
Roman Alphabet: shin sei katsu
Japanese: 与愛
English: give love
Roman Alphabet: yo ai
*There is no word for this in Japanese. Perhaps it means gives love.
Japanese: 七輪
English: seven rings
Roman Alphabet: shichi rin
*Probably "七輪" after the song title "Seven Rings". But there is no word for this in Japanese. Literally translated, a tool used to cook meat.
Japanese: 性行為
English: make love
Roman Alphabet: sei kou i
Summary
The clothing shown here with incorrect English is just one example.
There are still many more clothes out there that are even worse.
If you are going to wear clothes with your favorite kanji or Japanese characters on them, why not wear clothes with correct and authentic POK kanji or Japanese characters instead of tacky fake clothes with incorrect characters or incorrect usage?
