| TEI |
TAKE me to the foreign emperor now! |
|
The foreign emperor stands in front of you swallowing a sword. All like, "Yeaaah boyeeee I can swallow anything I like, I'm the freakin' emperor!!" |
| 皇帝 |
other country's emperor
★★☆☆☆
emperor - like China, not like Japan. (BOOBOO: Japan's emperor is 天皇:てんのう.) |
| 帝国 |
empire
★☆☆☆☆
empire - in the literal, non-judgemental sense of 'having an emperor' (England, China, ancient Inca). I don't think 帝国 carries the bad nuance of 'imperialism' (i.e. warlike or colonialist). |
| Meaning | Hint | Radical | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 帝 | foreign emperor | STAND | 立 |
| 帯 | belt | MOUNTAIN | 山 |
STAND UP to greet the emperor,
But tie your belt around a MOUNTAIN.
