Mission 1: Japanese Writing System Introduction
Before we officially dive into kana (Japanese syllabary), let’s take a quick look at how modern Japanese writing works.
Modern Japanese uses a mix of the following components: ✨
| Component | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Kanji | Chinese characters used to represent words and concepts. |
| Kana | The Kana includes: Hiragana – Used for native Japanese words, grammar, and word endings. Katakana– Used for foreign words, names, sound effects, and technical terms. Extended Syllabary – Extra sounds built from the basic hiragana, including marks like dakuten and combined sounds. |
| Romaji | Romaji is the Latin alphabet used to write Japanese sounds. It’s mainly used for signs, advertisements, and typing Japanese on computers, and it’s rarely used in regular articles. In Japan, you’ll often see Romaji written under place names and station names — super helpful for people who can’t read Japanese yet! 😊 |
Examples:
| Kanji | 私 | 金魚 | 車 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hiragana | わたし | きんぎょ | くるま |
| Katakana | ワタシ | キンギョ | クルマ |
| Romaji | watashi | kingyo | kuruma |
| Meaning | I | goldfish | car |
