Today, in algebra, I took out my notebook. My Chinese teacher was so impressed with my "Chinese" writings on the cover that I'm now her "favorite student". Those "Chinese" symbols are actually Japanese, but I wanted someone to like me so badly that I didn't correct her. FML

alot of kanji symbols in Japanese are similar if not the same as some Chinese symbols. so she very well could have read them but the meaning maybe different. lol

chinese and japanese use the same characters they mean the same things in both languages too, but are just pronounced differently. or at least thats how it is with the simple ones. i have friends that are fluent in both

tl;dr Japanese has two written dialects, the first of which is the same as mandarin chinese.

You do realize, that if it was Kanji, it came originally from China, the Japanese just started using it. If it was hiragana or katakana, then that came from Japan lol
