Talk:文久

Korean Hanja

@Atitarev,@Eirikr

I still don't understand, can Hanja be used to write Korean word that is just a direct Japanese loan? As far as i know, the Sino-Korean pronunciation of 文久 should be 문구 instead of 분큐.

Another example is can we write 쇼와 (Japanese era Shōwa) as 昭和 in Hanja instead of Sino-Korean word 조화/소화? Ekirahardian (talk) 08:52, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

I think these are cases of non-Sino-Korean hanja. It seems 분큐 (bunkyu) and other Japanese era names are always accompanied by Japanese spellings, such as 文久 just because this is the way they are written in both Japanese and Chinese and 문구 (mun'gu) is not used in this sense. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 10:15, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

But why is Korean word that loaned directly from Japanese has Hanja form? I do aware that Hanja sometimes has both Sino-Korean and Native reading such as 水 that can be pronounced as 수 (su) and 물 (mul) although the Native reading of Hanja is pretty rare, but i never heard that Hanja can be used to write Japanese loanword. My understanding is the word 文久 is written beside the Korean word 분큐 to show that the word 분큐 was loaned from Japanese Kanji, but not considered as Korean Hanja itself. In summary, i never heard that Hanja has irregular reading like Japanese. Ekirahardian (talk) 15:39, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

@Ekirahardian, Eirikr, Suzukaze-c: I think we should delete it. My mistake. Naver dictionary used 분큐 with (文久) in brackets. It's a normal convention for hangeul/hanja pair, which confused me. Apparently the same was followed in the Korean Wikipedia. I don't know how this type of loan is treated in Koreas but it's not a Sino-Korean term. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:31, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
