Did you know?
- If a Japanese speaker describes someone as 角がある (having angles/corners), they are not talking about physics, but are instead saying that person's personality is 'difficult' or 'unfriendly'.
- In Japanese, 運動 means 'motion' or 'movement', but it is also the standard word for a political or social 'campaign' or 'movement'.
- The word 角運動量 is a perfect example of a 'kanji compound' where each character contributes a specific scientific concept: 角 (angle), 運動 (motion), and 量 (quantity).
