Minna-san! Konnichiwa!Today, I wanna talk about quite great Topic! That's about Japanese Language!We all know that Three types of character are used to write Japanese. Those are Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji.
Katakana :Katakana are used to write words introduced from other languages, names of foreign people and places, sounds, and animal cries.
Hiragana :Hiragana are used together with kanji to write ordinary Japanese words.
Kanji :Kanji is completely different with China. But Japanese originaly came from ancient China. where they are said to have been created thousands of years ago. These characters are called kanji and began as pictures. Over time the pictures changed, and most kanji no longer look like the original objects; they now stand for words or parts of words. There are about 2,000 kanji in regular use. Children learn around 1,000 kanji in elementary school and another 1,000 in middle school.
Japanese has many local dialects, called hogen. Different dialects have different words for the same things. there are also variations in accent and intonation, as well as in the endings attached to verbs and adjectives. Using the widely accepted standard spoken Japanese, however, people from different regions can communicate easily.
That's all about Japanese language. Thanks for reading! Wait for the next post!Arigatou Gozaimahita ^^
