I never knew this. I assumed the "emo" in emoji had something to do with the word "emotion" in English 😭

[Saetchel]

It’s crazy how “emoji” is overlooked to be a Japanese word!

Edit: How did this generic comment of mines surmount over 1k likes LOL hey y’all have a wonderful week

I knew "emoji" was japanese, but I figured that it was shortened from the English word "emotion" or something and written like エモジ

Kushina really named Naruto as the thing on ramen

Edit: im sorry i didn't know Jiraya named Naruto ☹️

I could listen to your みてくれてありがとう all time😅, thanks for the lesson😊

I always assumed "emoji" was something to do with a variation or progression from the word "emoticon" as they were full on illustrations "🙂" instead of just the typed characters " :) " of the past.

I love this. I wanted to learn Japanese forever. But the written stuff gives me the chills. And i kinda like the light hearted format which allows me to at least comprehend some words and the associated sounds.

Arrigato :)

I prefer to use kaomoji (´>ω∂`)てへぺろ☆

I love how naruto (from the anime) is slightly visible when she explained the naruto emoji

Emoji was created firstly by a Japanese who did work at Ntt Docomo in 90'. It's mentioned in a book I study in college. But I forgot his name, need to check it out 😅

Japan also pioneered the use of pictograms. IIRC, it was first used in the Olympics and now you can see it on common stuffs like toilet symbols.

[camman]

the crazy thing is, they also have a map of Japan emoji in android or you can try it on your phone, "🗾"

[ichigorei]

These shorts always make my day, so amazing♥️

[reinburhythm]

I actually did know emoji is a Japanese word, since I learned a little bit of Japanese before and encountered that word. Didn’t know about all individual origins of the characters though

[kerwinbautista]

the way she use her japanese accent... lovely to hear... E-Mo-ji

[nojukuramu]

Fun Fact: The guy who invented Emoji is a japanese named Shigetaka Kurita.

Jiraya while eating ramen: what should I name my main character?
Teuchi: here’s your ramen with extra naruto toppings!
Jiraya: *le gasp* NARUTO!

[trishasanwaria]

Hey I really wanna learn Japanese by your 101 classes, so can you make a video and explain in detail what do I have to do to join the classes??

[watlon]

I have never had the desire to travel and visit Japan in the past .Reading and watching videos about the country and its people I would love to spend time in Japan .

[princessthyemis]

Whoa!!! I can't believe I never knew this! It should be more widespread! This is awesome!
