But as I was writing, he recognised the 無 character, saying that this came first?

What's JF's take on this?
I love 'elping you more than hanging out with my lassie at the chippy but this one, I sure ain't got no clue. Matter of fact, I ain't even got no clue what a chippy is, laddie!

If you start it with 無, you won't have a phrase in a "normal" word order.
無意味だよ、魔法のない人生なんて
無意味だよ、マジックのない人生なんて
I could go on without a hit. There is no way of verifying this, is there?

You used 奇術 but that means magic as in illusions or magic show.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
