Japanese GoTerms
Keywords: Go term
Most Japanese go terms are listed under GoTerms, but I created this page because I wanted to learn the Kanji characters for go terms. I know a lot of them can probably be copied from the Chinese GoTerms, but not knowing Chinese, nor having an extensive knowledge of Japanese, I don't know which ones. Entering kanji characters is a bit tricky...
You can look up their unicode values here: You then enter the characters in the text like this: "&#<unicode value>;" Also, if you add a term, make sure to include long vowel sounds, as in "Jouseki".
Some useful terms for equipment, if you decide to go shopping:
Herman: I'm currently trying to learn Japanese through a course at the university, together with ElDraco. Go terms make interesting topics for discussion in this context, but recently we ran in to one that we simply couldn't find or translate. Can anyone tell us what the origin/meaning of the word komi is? We tried looking up different variations of the word in kanji & kana, but to no avail. Also, we are interested in the origin and meaning of the word uchikomi, which seems to have several meanings (in go it can mean invasion or beating down, but I also found references to it as a training technique in martial arts). Charles. Komi is short for komidashi. Jasonred Once again, I prove my ignorance, by asking how you say "Stone"... I know it's this character- 石 but is it pronounced seki as in jouseki and fuseki, or ishi as in Goishi? exswoo:Kanjis have multiple readings in Japanese. The kanji for stone can be read as either seki or ishi, depending on the word. Phlegmatic:It would be really useful if someone who knows their stuff could make a JapaneseGoPronunciations? page (see, I've even left a link for you to use!) - this novice is still saying "hane" wrong most days..... This is a copy of the living page "Japanese GoTerms" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
