First thing with Japanese, there are 3 different writing system for the language.
1) Hiragana
2) Katakana
3) Kanji
Hiragana
The primary function of the Hiragana script is the expression of native Japanese words. It is also the only script used for particles and copulas, and all inflectional endings and verb stems.
Example:
oniisan (elder brother)
kagi (key)
Katakana
Katakana symbols are used mainly for representing foreign words. Modern Japanese contains a great number of words borrowed from European languages, especially English. These borrowed words are written in Katakana symbols.
Example:
Amerika (America)
Shingapo--ru (Singapore)
Kanji
This would be the chinese characters that we see, except that, they are not pronounced the way we do in chinese.
Example:
the chinese words xian1 sheng1 could mean teacher
sensei
the chinese words da4 xue2 university dai gaku
so far so good?
Romanji is not part of the writing system tho... -
