【No. 0325】Etymology of Kanpeki (完璧)
Nov 8, 2015 11:19
Today, I'd like to introduce a mistakable Japanese word '完璧 (kanpeki).'
'完璧' means perfect, and Japanese people often use this word.
However, the kanji '璧' is easily mistaken for '壁.'
'璧' means "beautiful gem," but this kanji is rarely used other than '完璧.'
On the other hand, '壁' means wall, and this is often used.
Since the ethmology of '完璧' is "bring back a gem(璧) in perfect condition(完)," it is very important to use the kanji '璧.'
When you write '完璧' in handwriting, please be careful.

No problem! I don't think you need to remove this like the other commenter suggested! However, it would sound more natural to say "this kanji."
