柿、牡蠣、夏季、下記・・・； Kaki, Kaki, Kaki, Kaki???

眠れなくなる程、旦那とバトルになる、例えば柿と牡蠣。勝手に言わせてもらうと、微妙なイントネーションの違いがあると思う。だから、単純に「カキ買ってきて～」って言われても、なんとなくは違いが分かると思うんだ。でもでも、旦那に言わせると全く分からないみたい。（分かりたくないのかも・・・）　”分かるＶＳ分からない”の単純なバトルなんだけど、かなり篤くなる。負けず嫌いな旦那は、色々調べ挙げ、他の”カキ達”をリストアップしてきた。夏季・下記・火器・花期などなど。そこまでいくと、ある程度話題がはっきりしないと分からないんですけどぉ～。身を持って感じるのは、日本語って難しい！　特に漢字。音読み＆訓読みを組み合わせによって見事に読み分ける事が”ある程度”出来る私（当たり前？）、なんてラッキーだと思う。どの言語も習得するのに苦労するんだけど、日本語を外国語として勉強している人達って尊敬しちゃう。とりあえず日本語が母国語でよっかたぁ。（読めない漢字もいっぱいあるんだけどね）

My husband and I always debate about Japanese homonyms. For example, "Kaki(persimmon)" and "Kaki(oysters)". They are spelled the same in English but differently in Japanese. I can tell the difference between of them just by hearing since they have different intonation. (*not all homonym have difference) If someone asks me "Can you go buy some "Kaki"s?" and I reply "How many?" not "Persimmon or Oyster?". However, my husband always get confused between of them. (I think that he DOES NOT WANT to get it...) Of course, My Type A personality-husband came back with all the other "Kaki"s in a list and asked me if I can tell the differences of them by the sound itself. "Kaki (persimmon, oyster, Summertime, the following, Firearms, and more)". I just shook my head... He grinned winningly.
BTW, Japanese Kanji is not so simple. Each Kanji has Onyomi(pronounce in the Chinese way) and Kunyomi (pronounce in the Japanese way). Whether to read with either Onyomi or Kunyomi is changed depend on effect of their combination with other Kanji before or after it in the sentance.
There is such a long way for me to go to master it.
There are so many more homonyms to debate! I am looking forward to it!
