Explanation and Etymology - (是非) zehi
是非 (Shihai) is a Japanese word that can be translated as "right or wrong", "yes or no", "truth or lie" or "good or evil". The word is made up of two Kanji characters: 是 (shi) which means "right" or "true" and 非 (hai) which means "wrong" or "false". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the word was written as "zepei" and meant "right or wrong." During the Kamakura period (1185-1333), the word was written as "shihai" and has a broader meaning, including "truth or lie" and "good or evil." Nowadays, the word is used in various situations, such as debates, discussions, judgments and important decisions. It is an expression that reflects the importance of distinguishing between right and wrong, truth and lie, and making decisions based on ethical and moral principles.How to Write in Japanese - (是非) zehi
