How do you say "real men drink tea" in kanji?
 
Thinking of putting that saying on a mug for my boyfriend.

Thanks in advance :ywave:

Hi,

How about, '真の男は茶を飲む'?(Sorry this is a literal translation orz.)

jmirow2 12-12-2011 02:53 AM

thanks, but does the literal translation make sense?

Well the sentence (真の男は茶を飲む)cannot be written all in kanji. It should include some hiragana. If you want it just in kanji, you'll need a Chinese translation...

S/He did already.

Japanese is not Chinese. You cannot write a phrase like that using only kanji.

It makes sense and is understandable I think but... there may be some better/cooler sounding saying than this...
