Explanation needed (4 character idioms) - cophnia61 - 2014-02-12
Stupid question! Can you explain me what is going on here?
at 10:20, when they say the girl is bad with kanji and then they ask she to tell a 4-character idiom. What does this mean? I'm new to kanji so I don't understand what they are asking to she

A lot of them originated from Japanese and/or Chinese classical literatures, especially poems. They are concise, rhythmic, and witty. Therefore you can add an extra layer of flavor to your writing and speaking by using them properly. I love to find out the story behind it whenever I see a good one.
