> Japanese sentences are typically a bit longer than English in terms of syllables and written length?

Do you understand than 1 kana represents 1 syllable? They are BY DEFINITION, more concise than Latin letters.

Wow thanks! I didn't understand that despite being able to read and write Japanese! Sarcasm aside you don't seem to have a very deep understanding so maybe you should be a bit nicer when expressing your opinion.

> 1 kana represents 1 syllable

ちゅ <-- 2 kana, 1 syllable

> BY DEFINITION, more concise than Latin letters

smash <-- 1 syllable, 5 latin letters, ~3 kana in length スマッシュ <-- 5 kana
