  • @creepywalnut What is your definition of "castle"? I think we may have misunderstood each other.

  • @582Thomas I never mentioned Great Britain, I said Europe. And that´s right, only European castles are castles, or do you think that Pyramids in Mexico, Egypt or the builduings found in Cuzco, Perú, are castles?

  • @creepywalnut I really hope you're lying about being a teacher.

  • @creepywalnut So are you saying that only English castles are real castles?

  • @582Thomas Will you ever get my point? They use the word "castle" because there's no an equivalent in English to name that kind of buildings. Besides, authors of articles in wikipedia are not all scholars, everybody can upload any article and not necessarily with thorough background investigation. Wikipedia is not 100 % reliable, I can say because I'm a teacher and some students turn in poor essays because the only source they mention is wikipedia.

  • @creepywalnut Just read the Japanese Castle article on Wikipedia.

  • @creepywalnut Why do we call hot or spicy to the sensation hot peppers produce in our mouth if in Spanish it is said that they´re "enchilosos"? Because there's not a term in English for that, thus we use hot or spicy, which would give an approximate idea of what the sensation is.

  • @582Thomas Like I said, if we don't have the exact word for a building that we don't have in our western world, we use something that would give us an idea of what it is, although those Japanese buildings and European castles don't have ANYTHING in common: they're built with different materials, shape, for different purposes, etc. Why English speakers call "pepper" to something that doesn't come from Europe or the US? Just because there's not a word in English for "chile".

  • @creepywalnut According to Wikipedia, the word for "castle" in Japanese is 城 or shiro. So the word does exist in Japanese.
