> [@ryomori](#): > > Ive never learn the kanji for Chinese 🥴 but i know how to say like > 英国(イングランド) , インド, フランス, オーストラリア 🙇 You don’t have to use Kanji in many cases, but China is usually written in Kanji – 中国(ちゅうごく). The remaining are イギリス、インド、フランス、オーストラリア. Kanji can be used, but more often newspaper / abbreviation words – 英(えい) UK, 仏(ふつ) France. Not sure of the last time I see 豪(ごう) Australia, and 印(いん) India, if ever at all. ---
