hiragana - used mainly for verbs and adjectives


katakana - used for foreign words, onomotopia

How can I help?

Doesn’t look that complicated. It’s not binary you know.

konnichi wa, NeonMan5!!!
watashi wa Prince Zuko desu. Hajimemashite!!!
genki desu ka?

I get it, “wa” is telling you that Prince Zuko is the main subject. And “desu” explains that you are talking in the present tense, whereas Deshita (pronounced DESH ta) is the past tense.

And instead of past tense, the Japanese call it the “non-present”.

And putting “ka” at the end of the sentence turns it into a question.

yup and what i mean by help, is just decorate this thread...i mean put the hiraganas and katakanas on your very first post....

watashi wa kankokujin desu demo nihon de ikirimasu. Kankokukugo o wakarimasu, demo nihongo o wakarimasen.

NOTE: When saying foreign words in Japanese, Japanese say the foreign words based on how they pronounce it

No, not really.

Kanji
-nouns
-stems of adjectives and verbs
-Japanese names.

Hiragana
-inflectional endings for adjectives and verbs
grammatical particles
-Japanese words that have no kanji, or where the kanji are difficult to read, or where the kanji is not known, or where the reader is unlikely to know them
-indications of how to read kanji (furigana Õñ¤ê�¢Ãû.

Katakana
-foreign words and names
-commonly used animals, plants or objects whose kanji are uncommonly used, such as “tokage” (lizard), “bara” (rose), “r¨­soku” (candle)
-onomatopoeia
-emphasized words, much like italicized words in English text
-technical and scientific words, such as plant, animal, and mineral names

Oh, so the differnet sets indicate differnet uses. Cool.
Oh, I just finneshed my first lesson of Ninja School, and I was the only one there. I learnt Ichi, Ni, San, Shi, Go, Rokku (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). I learnt rolls and basic punches aswell. It’s pretty awsome.
They even have a sword shop. If you live in Australia (Preferably WA) look up 'Kevin Hawthorne' Ninja Schools.

Celebrate Ninja day on the 5th of December!
