Three ways to say "Say"

Happy Tuesday everyone.

As I outlined before, every Tuesday will be Kanji day.

Now, there are tons of websites and Youtube vids that deal with real basic stuff, so I decided not to touch on those. 

This blog will be for those who already have a basic knowledge, or even an advanced one, of Japanese. 

A little background on me.  I passed the 漢字検定一級　which is the highest level of the Kanji test for Japanese people.  It contains about 6000 kanji (for reference, the average Japanese person knows about 1800-2200).

So, here are today's Kanji.

3 Kanji for the word Say 

言う
云う
謂う

All of these are pronounced いう　and they all mean the same thing.  In older books (older meaning from about 150 years ago) 云う　is more common.  Also, just a little trivia, the word いう　used to be written いふ　or 言ふ.

Well, that's all for today.  More Kanji next week.

Stay frosty!
