Let's talk about some defference between Japanese and English!
In English, we would say I am Maria or he is an American but japanese speakers often leave out words like I and he . It's usually understood from context!
Another difference is that the verb comes at the end of the sentence in Japanese. plus it doesn't change depending on the person you're talking about. In English, we have I am and she is but in Japanese, there's just ใฆ"ใ (desu )!
Another way to introduce yourself is to say......ใจใใใพใ (to iimasu) , which means My name is..........! It's a verb, so remember to put it at the end.
Showing Respect
If you want to talk about someone else, be sure to put ใใ (SAN) after their name it's a sign of respect ! It's similar to tittle like Mr. Or Ms. In English. But ใใ San/ is much more commonly used , i't can also be combined with someone's first name, not just their last name.
If You want to say John is American or Maria is Japanese , put ใฏ after John or Maria to show that it's the topic of your sentence! Notice that when it's a topic maker ใฏ sounds likes wa , not ha
Japanese Writing
Along with Hiregana, there are two other Writing systems Katakana is a script just like hiragana. For every hiragana letter, there's a matching Katakana one! Sometimes you'll ever see ones with similar shapes.
What's the difference then? Well in general hiragana is mostly used for native japanese words, and Katakana is used with foreign words.
ใขใกใชใซ
AMERIKA
America
Many words are also written with kanji, a script that uses Chinese characters. Kanji characters don't represent sounds, but words and ideas!
ไธญๅฝ
Chugoku
China
The pronunciation and meaning can also based on the word they're in . For example, ไธญ is different in the name ็ฐไธญ
( Tanaka) and in the country ไธญๅฝ (
chugoku ) with kanji. Just force on learning each New vocabulary term as a whole, and pick up patterns along the way.
....... There Three scripts are mixed together when writing Japanese !
