Car License Plate in Japan

Jul 21, 2015 18:22
In Japan, one character of hiragana is used on every car license plate.

However, only four characters, 「お」,「し」,「ん」 and 「へ」 don't be used.

Today, I'd like to introduce these reasons.

「お」： Because this character is very similar to 「あ」.

「し」： Because this character implies 「死 (death)」.

「ん」： Because it is difficult to pronounce this character.

「へ」： Because this character implies 「屁 (poot)」, and there is a possibility that interferes your driving by laughing.

Until today, I didn't know these facts. Hehehe.

Thank you so much for the correction!
Haha, you're brave. Most Japanese fear that number.

また、怖いナンバーとしてはこんなものもあります。
「み 75-64（みなごろし：massacre）」

    When speaking about a car license plate, we usually just say "license plate" because it is obvious what we mean. We won't normally specify unless we are talking about a license plate for something else. For example, "I bought a license plate for my trailer."

    You need to say "why" or "why that is." Otherwise, the sentence does not sound complete.
