Since it has the は particle at the end, I interpret it as something along the lines of “let’s talk about today”, which is kind of beautiful.

Also, instead of “thank you”, you say “this is a difficult thing to accept”.

Buddhist tradition making its way into everyday language does funny things.

Done eating? “Wow that was a lot of work!”

Done working? “You are super tired!”

I have 今朝 mentally associated with breakfast (けさ)quesadillas, which is probably the only reason why I can keep the reading straight in my head

I think I might like food too much

hm, i never confused them anymore with seeing 未 as an incomplete version of 末 (the upper horizontal line), so it being “not yet the end”. those tricks don’t always work but here it just kinda ‘clicked’ for me.

師 has the city radical in it, where it derives the reading from i guess.

For 未 and 末 I use 2 words I’ve already learned:

  • 未来
  • 週末

But I just failed 氷, thinking it’s 水, so… ^^"

oh and actually this “mnemonic” is good for telling the difference betwen 愛 and 恋
愛 is something pure, like betwen parent and a child, while 恋 is kinda more like some horny stuff betwen a man and a woman
