Ah yes,
Japanese, the language of great culture, deep meaning and
infectiously cute cartoons. Like much like our language,
english,
Japanese has a few (
a lot) of words that sound the same, but have different meanings, and are also somtimes not spelled the same, they are
homophones. Here are a few examples (this has been extended to include pharases. Keep in mind that the
kanji are all
different, and some may be
imported words in most cases):
Hana - flower
Hana - nose
Seishi wo kakeru - to stake one's life
Seishi wo kakeru - to spray sperm on somthing
Chizu - map
Chiizu - cheeze
