o m g 1)CAPS ARE REALLY ANNOYING. Please write normally even though you're shocked (for some weird thing you assumed in your head). 2)...no...senshi means warrior, soldier and has no connotations to death. sailormoon.jenndy.xipx.de/cover2-1.jpgTake a look at the 3rd row. (row 1 says "pretty soldier", row 2 says "sailormoon") I don't know if you can recognize it (obviously you don't), but the characters in that row are Japanese Kanji, or Chinese Hanzi. The first three (Bi sho jo) mean Beautiful Young Girl. The last two (sen shi) mean War Person*(aka Soldier). The fifth one is the one I'm looking at. It looks like a cross with a dash at the bottom. *For avid Japanese learners, the "shi" has a meaning sometthingg like person. Not totally. The character for person (looks like a backwards greek Lamda) is "hito" because shi is more like a military...person. Basically "shi" is a person related/having connotations to the military. What you're thinking*sigh* is homophones. Shi (by itself) means something along the extent of "person" but having a war connotation because its...basically always used with war. Senshi means something along the lines of war person. Another "shi" in kanji is this:  Compare the last character that i've been talking about from the top Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon picture to this one. Although any Japanese language student shouldn't, for now, treat them like pictures. They are nottttt the same. They are homophones. They both sound the same but have extremely different meanings. homophone in english? ruler (king) =?= ruler (measuring device) |

Senshi means warrior, the kanji have no association to death. I'm Chinese (aka kanji reader), so blah, I know what the kanji means and it has no association to death, only the military and war. If I could close this stupid thread I would but...  |
