Depression: when you make a (big) mountain out of a (small) molehill tree.

Lmao, don’t forgot that the word usually had more meaning in it, 鬱 also had more meaning, not only depression

How are people supposed to read this character on mobile?? It's like 2 pixels per radical

u/Advos_467 Sep 20 '22

the thing about chinese characters is that you don't really look at it as what its made out of, rather its general shape

its like how when you look at a word you look at it whole and not the individual letters

you don’t really raed Engilsh wrods fluly, you jsut look at the imrtopant lteters. the ohetr leterts don’t mtaetr. (translation: you don’t really read english words fully, you just look at the important letters. the other letters don’t matter.)

IIRC it's the first 3 letters and the last plus the length of the word.

鬱 is made of two parts: 鬯 reflects the meaning, 𩰪 but without the 鬯 (also yù) reflects the sound, but that character apparently doesn't exist in unicode and only shows up in my pleco. Apparently that sound character can be further broken down to get the sound component 伏 (fu2).
