Hiya,\nAlthough Japanese is based on Chinese characters, they are read differently. Some are similar but some are different.\nThe character for big sister in Japanese is 姉 and the character for little sister in Japanese 妹 so it looks like it's similar to Chinese. But putting them together, side by side is not going to make a word. I mean, it won't mean anything because there is no word with those characters. Maybe you should put the kanji for siblings 兄弟 (which was originally meant for "brothers") but now encompasses all - brother, sisters, or brothers & sisters. That kanji is called Kyoudai. \nHope it helps. \n:)

Both Japanese and Korean were derived from Chinese; however, over time, the Korean and Japanese languages have evolved so that although both obviously borrow from Chinese, there are distinct differences.  \n\nYou can find information about the languages here:\n\nhttp://www.omniglot.com/writing/chinese.htm\nhttp://www.omniglot.com/writing/korean.htm\nhttp://www.omniglot.com/writing/japanese.htm

I can point you the boxes... but everything is written in chinese!\n\nJust one thing that is obvious but that I would like to point out... Chinese are NOT hairy, and seldom shave.

If English is your mother tongue, Japanese. Japanese belongs to the Altaic family of languages, which is more closely related to English than Chinese, which belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family, is.

I think northern Chinese tend to be a bit paler and taller.  Southern Chinese tend to be darker, and they often have wider noses.

There are a few good sites for that sort of thing ... IF your computer can display Chinese characters! But as they're uncopy-able I can't paste them here.\n\nhttp://chineselanguage.org/cgi-bin/query.php?mode=english&sound=0&beijing=pinyin&canton=jyutping&meixian=pinjim&fields=mandarin,english&lang=en&level=6\n\nSame goes for http://zhongwen.com/zi.htm\n(select OK88 after searching for the English word.)\n\nThey're both online dictionaries, and you can search using English words and see the Chinese character.

They are very different and aren't related to each other.  \n\nAlthough, it is debated that Japanese and Korean may be related. And in my view, they might. They use politeness levels and honorifics (though Korean has more than Japanese!).\n\nJapanese and Korean verbs conjugate while Chinese verbs do not.\n\nJapanese and Korean verbs tend to end a sentence. Chinese verbs are somewhere in the middle.\n\nPhonologically, Chinese has tones.  Mandarin, particularly, has 4 while Cantonese has 9. Japanese and Korean rely on pitch accent.\n\nIn writing, Japanese mixes Chinese characters with its syllabic writing system.  South Koreans use Chinese characters (North Koreans have gotten rid of them 60 years ago), though it seems like they use it sparingly these days. The writing system is rather unique and easy to learn.  \n\nVocabulary wise, Japanese and Korean have a lot of Chinese words.\n\nAnyway, here are some examples of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean so you can get an idea of how different they are:\n\nEnglish: I read this book.\nChinese: 我看過這本書了。 (wo kan guo zhe ben shu le)\n\nJapanese: 私は、この本を読みました。 (watakushi wa, kono hon o yomimashita)\n\nKorean: 저는 이 책을 읽었습니다. (jeoneun i chaegeul ilgeosseumnida)

you can't say that either one is better.. that would be ignorant.. but understandable if you are one of those two races.. because people are always trying to represent.  But both are of Asian decent..  they kinda look similar,, but defiantly not the same... with different cultures and basically they are just different... its like comparing Mexicans and Puerto Ricans
