"これはちずです。"

Translation: This is a map.

[LilyBurnside]

これはペンです。

[Keith_APP]

It reminds me of my Kindergarten lessons (This is a man. This is a pen. A man and a pen. A pen and a man.). 頑張ってください。

[Xiang-yu]

I have a pen. I have an apple. Apple pen.

[WillowsofXihu]

As soon as I saw the top comment this song got back in my head; glad to see I wasn't the only one!

[Xiang-yu]

I have a pen. I have an apple. Apple pen.

Has anyone else realized that the words for map and cheese are the same in spoken Japanese?

[butsuri]

They're similar, but they're actually not the same. "Map" is chizu. "Cheese" is chiizu. Japanese has phonemic vowel length.

[Daniel919108]

I once tried asking for a map in a 7-11, the clerk led me to the cheese sandwiches.

[Dane358388]

Yep

[ManoahKun]

Alright, Dora

[Gollgagh]

I read it as かれ at first, so I was very confused as to why "he" was a map.

[Morgan441252]

he's the map! he's the map! He's the Map!!!!!

[ladaplays]

Why can't I use "It is a map"?

[butsuri]

Because これ means "this" and not "it".
"It is a map" would just be ちずです。

[tx91791]

Because "this is" and "it is" are two different things.

[VoluXian]

これはアメリカです。

[3CKitani]

Don't get you slippin' now

[Patrick281571]

There is a problem: if you tap the は it will show はち (eight)

[Ka_HU]

Please accept the answer with chizu kanji!
