Kanji Perception Quiz
Looking for a bit of a playful challenge using your perception of the written Japanese language? This was part of an interesting quiz recently that was featured on the TV show バイキング.
The Japanese itself isn’t that difficult (beginners may even be able to solve these), but it’s meant to be tricky and test your way of playing with the language.
Can you get all 3 right?
Difficulty: ☆☆☆
1. ___に入る漢字は?
背・灸・泉・柔・針・圧・__
Multiple choice (choose one)
A. 春 B. 夏 C. 秋
Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆
2. ___に入る数字は?
朝食=6じ
おやつ=3じ
夕食= ___じ
Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
3. 何屋さん?
さ
いひ 屋
Scoring it up
I got 1 of 3 right (guess I’m not as perceptive as I thought!) How about you?

I got the first one. I feel stupid for not getting the second. And the third is cute although I never would have gotten it myself.
I didn’t get any of them xD a fun way to play with the language though :D
I got them all wrong.
I felt so clever with number two, thinking it was too easy…
until I saw the answer and realized that I fell for the obvious. haha! >w<
Luckily, as a language-learner, I'm used to being humbled countless times a day, so I'm already recovered and ready for the next dose of humble pie. Bring it! (ノಥ益ಥ)ノ ┻━┻
Haha nahh. I’m terrible at this kind of thing even in English.
The first and second one I figured out after some thinking. The third one I was unable to answer, but it certainly was really clever.
That aha-moment when you realize what the question is about is fun, and I really enjoyed these.
