  1. Now so seldom given sample sentence. If I want to say “これ美車の美” is it right?

    • Nicolas says:

      It is a nice idea but 美 cannot be combined with any other kanji, but there is nor rule for this. In advertisement however it sometimes is done and everybody knows what is meant.
      The combination of 美 and 車 is not natural. In this case you rather say これはきれいな車です。kore wa kireina kuruma desu.

  2. I have a Japanese Calendar, all the picture are Japanese houses. In the cover written すまいの美 sumai no Yoshi(read BI)=(the beauty of living) what do you think? Thank you for your explanation.
