There's a significant number of Japanese-only or much more common in Japanese than in Chinese characters on there.

I've noticed the same where I can understand the basics of a Japanese program if there's subtitles. But there are some oddities like 食 being used in a verb (as in 食べる) or 行 as to go. But you still have good context and can at least understand the topic in most cases.

knowing Cantonese helps here, as both the verbs you mention are still common verbs in modern Cantonese.
