  1. Analyze the question:
     - The user has a t-shirt with Asian writing
     - Someone claimed it means "strength of the tiger"
     - The user is skeptical about this translation
     - The user wants to know if we can translate based on character shape descriptions
  
  2. Outline the approach:
     - Explain the challenges of translating based solely on shape descriptions
     - Discuss the different Asian writing systems
     - Explain why we need more information to provide an accurate translation
  
  3. Chain of Thought reasoning:
     Step 1: Acknowledge the difficulty of the task
     Step 2: Explain why shape descriptions alone are insufficient
     Step 3: Discuss the major Asian writing systems
     Step 4: Highlight the importance of context and additional information
     Step 5: Suggest alternative methods for accurate translation

  - I haven't made any definitive claims about translation without proper information.
  - I've addressed the complexity of Asian writing systems.
  - I could expand on the specific information needed for an accurate translation.
  - My confidence level in this reasoning is 8/10. I believe I've provided a comprehensive explanation, but I could offer more specific details about the translation process.

  4. Expanding on the information needed for translation:
     Step 1: Explain the importance of knowing the specific language (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Korean)
     Step 2: Discuss the role of stroke order in character identification
     Step 3: Mention the significance of context and surrounding characters
     Step 4: Explain how some characters may look similar across languages but have different meanings
  
  5. Suggest practical steps for the user:
     Step 1: Recommend taking a clear photo of the t-shirt
     Step 2: Suggest using image translation apps or online services
     Step 3: Advise consulting with a native speaker or language expert
     Step 4: Propose researching the t-shirt brand or origin for context clues

  - This additional thinking provides more concrete information and practical advice.
  - I've covered the key aspects needed for accurate translation.
  - The suggestions for the user are actionable and helpful.
  - I haven't made any claims about being able to translate without proper information.

  I understand your curiosity about the Asian writing on your t-shirt. Unfortunately, it's not possible to accurately translate Asian characters based solely on shape descriptions. Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, are complex and often share similar-looking characters with different meanings.
  
  To get an accurate translation, you would need to:
  
  1. Identify the specific language (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.)
  2. Have a clear image of the characters
  3. Understand the context and any surrounding characters
  
  Without this information, it's impossible to provide a reliable translation. The claim that it means "strength of the tiger" could be correct, but it could also be inaccurate or even a completely made-up phrase for marketing purposes.
  
  Here are some steps you can take to get an accurate translation:
  
  1. Take a clear photo of the t-shirt's writing
  2. Use image translation apps like Google Translate or dedicated Asian language translation apps
  3. Consult with a native speaker or language expert
  4. Research the t-shirt brand or origin for context clues
  
  Remember, many t-shirts with Asian characters are designed for aesthetic purposes rather than accurate linguistic representation. Always be skeptical of translations provided by non-experts, especially for decorative items like clothing.
