Iāve noticed that her little sister Risa seems to have become popular on Japanese youtube.
I saw this video popup as well but I donāt know enough to keep up. Iāve started to notice Ohashiās name more. He gave a lecture in English for Nihon Kiin Overseas describing Dosakuās shoulder-hit, Shusakuās anti-shoulder hit, and Go Seigenās preemptive shoulder hit. He also wrote the book that analyzes Shuwa and Shusakuās games using AI. And now he was interviewed for this AI video.
For inaudible, do Italians usually write inaudibile or inudibile?
Iām guessing the latter (because thereās udibile and not audibile), but Wiktionary supplies both.
Iām doing some work on Italian vocabulary.
@_Sofiam any input?
Sorry I wasnāt following this.
Both are ok, but Iād say they have a slightly different meaning, Iād use āinudibileā for something that canāt be heard literally and āinaudibileā for more theoretical meanings, like āit doesnāt deserve to be heardā.
Theyāre both not widely used words, though, and you can probably safely use them interchangeably

According to Treccani, the latter is derived from the former and more used now.
I donāt think I ever heard āinaudibileā but we use commonly āinauditoā as ānever heard/seen/happened beforeā.

Wow, really?
I would have said itās more common than āinudibileā. And I think I have seen it more than āinauditoā (that is just its adjective). But maybe Iām wrong, I dont know.
I think I should try learning Italian.

Shouldnāt the Gās be ć instead, so itās all katakana? Seems still readable to me as a G, with some effort (but similar effort is needed to see a D in ćÆ)
Reminds me of those āAsian restaurantā styles of fonts

Iāve been slowly learning Japanese for a bit now. Mostly to enjoy Go content . I got familiar with the language and then switched back to other hobbies but now Iām making more of an effort. Iām currently reading Terayama Rei 6dās Yose Fundamentals book. It starts from scratch. Every problem is a complete 9x9 board position that can be counted to see if you got the endgame solution correct. I like that aspect of the book a lot. The prompts are actually very difficult because they are more conversational. But the solutions explanations are concrete Go-writing and I am getting the hang of it. Iāve also neglected endgame so I donāt mind starting from scratch.

I was a bit bored, so I created some new kanji / hanzi using existing radicals. Can you guess the meaning?

- Brushing oneās hair
- Hedgehog
- Marriage proposal

Jesus Christ, and people say you can learn Japanese
Wow! Thatās your second language? You must be a poet or something in your first.
(Well, ok, it should be ātwo birds with one stoneā, but still ā¦)
I like the connection between marriage proposal and martial arts.

I wondered about the kanji for Go on Reddit a while back. The bottom component is the stone kanji but what is the upper part? Some nice Reddit member taught me about it and then over time I forgot what they said. I decided to figure it back out for myself. So here is what I re-learned.
āGoā the game is written as: å²ē¢ āigo.ā The å² character is a verb å²ć (pronounced ākakomuā) which means āto surround.ā And then there is the ē¢ character which is pronounced āgoā and is often used by itself. The bottom part is ē³ which means stone āishi.ā This is a normal kanji I can recognize.
But what about that upper part? I eventually remembered that the Reddit user told me it was a sound component giving the sound āgo.ā It is the character å ¶. The meaning is irrelevant to āGoā the game even though stone is clearly relevant. Iām not sure if there is an consistency to be able to understand whether a Kanji component lends its sound vs lending itās meaning.
But anyway, the 3 components å², å ¶, ē³ give you the complete story: a thing called āGoā that is about surrounding stones.
Just sharing 
Thanks to the friendly Reddit user who I cannot remember.
