マルとバツ

Japanese Maru(Circle ○) and Batsu(Cross ×) have a particular meaning.
日本語のマル（○）とバツ(×)は特別な意味を持ちます。

In Japanese, ○(Maru) means correct,right,good
日本語で○は、「正解」「正しい」「良い」を意味します。

×（Batsu） means wrong,mistake,bad.
×は「間違い」「誤り」「悪い」を意味します。

I thought their Japanese means were global standard.
それらの日本語の意味は、グローバルスタンダードだと思っていました。

But they get across only in Japan.
でも、その意味が通じるのは日本だけだったんですね。

Haha! Yes, I remember going to Japan and seeing "maru" and "batsu" used everywhere. I understood it, but it's not commonly used in America.

It was very funny when my friend Lu asked if she could pay with a credit card, and the shopkeeper made the "batsu" sign at her and she was shocked. To her it seemed very dramatic, and like he was scolding her. Hahaha. I was amused.

Thank you for your correction!
