LOL. "constructive", as in "constructive criticism", is written with the same kanji used to write "to construct e.g. a building" or something.
建設する (けんせつする) 家を建設する (to construct a house)
建設的 (けんせつてき) 建設的な意見 (constructive idea)
Japanese, I love you.
I don't even know why it amuses me the way it does. Seeing it that way, the word "constructive" gets a completely new "meaning-meaning" to me. Like, I'm thinking about what it means.
Er.
You don't have to understand that. Honestly.
i love japanese
