I guess this mnemonic changed recently? I have no clue who is this Satsuki for the さつ reading. We used to see something like “then you sat (さつ) down” for this reading. [image]

She’s a character WaniKani uses for the mnemonic for the さつ reading (with one exception). Looks like you first meet her for 札 in level 3 . If it helps you with visualisation, it’s also the name of the protagonist of My Neighbour Totoro. This girl: [satsuki umbrella] (The elder one, to be precise.…

I really don’t think I met her. I think they just changed that mnemonic. Please, someone, don’t let me look like the crazy one :slight_smile: Can anyone else remember the time where さつ was for “sat”? Even though Satsuki indeed looks like a dope mnemonic

I agree with you, I can’t remember ever coming across Satsuki in mnemonics :exploding_head: But I’ll personally think of Satsuki Kiryuin :slightly_smiling_face: [maxresdefault] 服を着た豚ども！！！

I wish that instead of updating their mnemonics, they added a second tab and let us choose mnemonic that fits us best. Set the new one as default if you believe it’s better… but keep the previous one. Then again it’s just a wish and we all know it’s not happening.

Tsurukame in iOS lets you add notes quite easily.

This tripped me up too. I forgot the reading mnemonic for 札. I went back to check it only to find some girl named Satsuki. I thought I was losing it. I never remembered meeting a Satsuki. I’m still trying to remember what the mnemonic was before Satsuki showed up. :upside_down_face:

It was something like “you give the umbrella to the tree and then you sat” or something like that.

Ahh, came back to me now. Thanks. :slightly_smiling_face: I can kind of see why they changed it. “sat” probably isn’t a good mnemonic for “satsu” because “sat” is already used in 里 for “sato”. Maybe that’s why I had an issue with that mnemonic in the first place. :rofl:

[image] araigoshi: Apparently they updated this on December 12th Ah, alrighty then. I didn’t think I’d come across that mnemonic before either, but it’s been a while since I did any reviews, so I wasn’t sure.

Actually I was pleased when they changed this because “sats down” is lame and not nearly as memorable as Satsuki. It really pays to glance through the updates and check for changes like this - I thought I was losing it when they changed 北 to “hoe cookies” from some kind of “hawk” or something. After…

Who on earth is SATSUKI?
