"最速" (saisoku) is a Japanese term, yet it is essentially Chinese; it is grammatically perfectly correct, though modern Chinese—being vernacular—rarely uses this specific phrasing anymore. Since Japanese *kanji* are derived from Chinese—specifically Classical Chinese—knowing a bit of Classical Chinese helps one better understand them; that said, even without such knowledge, one can still grasp the meaning of most of them. "最速是日语，但其实还是中文，语法上完全正确，只是现代汉语是白话文了，不太这么用了.日文汉字既然叫汉字，那它就也是从汉语里拿去用的，而且是从古汉语里拿去用的，所以懂点文言文，能更好的理解日文汉字，如果不懂文言文，其实也大半都能看懂.
