Hi,
I am curious to how many different ways it is possible to write teh following words in japanese (as i believe there are different character sets):
Love, Hope, Truth, Respect & Courage.
I also have some japanese symbols which i would like translated however i do not know how to post them up. Can you help me do that as well?

In kanji, hiragana and katakana characters
Love: (ai) 愛 − あい − アイ
Hope: (kibou) 希望 − きぼう ー キボウ
Truth: (shinjitsu)  真実 − しんじつ − シンジツ
Respect: (sonkei) 尊敬 − そんけい − ソンケイ
Courage: (yu-u-ki)  勇気 − ゆうき ー ユウキ

To post Japanese symbols, I think there are two alternatives:
Paste them as images.
Or install East Asian language fonts (assuming that you are using Windows). If you use XP, the fonts are in your Windows CD. For older systems, you most probably can get information on the Microsoft website.

Your first question: Sorry, but I don't exchange emails with people I don't personally know. I think forum answers and questions should be kept within the forum. Maybe the moderators can advise you on how to paste the image here.

There are three character sets only -- THAT'S ENOUGH :-)

Posted on Thursday, March 04, 2004 - 07:08 pm:   

OK, its just i have i have come across another one, e.g romaji. Also acording to this site (http://www.takase.com/MartialArts/Bushido/Bushido.htm) the character for respect is totally different. Can you explain this (sorry to ask so many questions :P) And it goes on to explain different different styles of writing the characters, is this correct? Or are these different character sets as well (Gyousho, Hentai-kana, etc) http://www.takase.com/Library/Glossary.htm#KAISHO
I am just a little confused as i have seen a few different characters (consisting on just one character) for writing love as well (again on the same site). Thanks for all your help! Really appreciated! I might also just host the pic and give a URL to it instead, would that be ok? Thanks again!

Okay, I must repeat myself again...not to you, but to every newcomer...

Don't expect to find the exact equivalent for most English terms in Japanese or any other foreign language. The word "respect" is a case in point. It can be interpreted in many ways -- respect for elders, respect as in demonstration of courtesy, respect suggesting admiration, etc. Therefore, there are many variations. "Sonkei" is the most common equivalent for "respect" in English and has the broadest meaning. That is why it was chosen as translation here.

The kanji in the website is "rei," as in show of respect in manners, courtesy, protocol, etc. It points to the ceremonial movements and traditions of martial arts, tea ceremony, etc.

When you mean character sets, there are only three, as I said before.

The ones you see are forms of calligraphy. They are all kanji characters written in various styles. If you are old enough to know English penmanship, you should understand. They are handwriting styles and are forms of art. Calligraphy is an art practiced as form of meditation and character-building (your character as human, not characters in writing).

Hope this helps.

Posted on Thursday, March 04, 2004 - 08:13 pm:   

Thanks for clearing that up! So basically it depends on the context which character you use. If it is possible, how many different symbols can be used to mean respect & hope (context is irrelvant), and if possible what are they? One last question, with the different forms of calligraphy, some of the characters written almost look totally different (as seen here http://www.takase.com/PersonalDesignProcess.htm), but are identical in meaning, why is that and isnt it hard to read/interperate? Thanks again for everything, it has cleared _ALOT_ up for me and given me a greater understanding!

What you are asking for is the Japanese version of the Roget's Thesaurus -- the extent goes beyond my knowledge of the language and into the area of creative imagination. The list is endless. I must get paid for such a job ;)

Calligraphy is based on an extensive understanding of the written Japanese language. There is strict discipline in sequence, length, etc., of the strokes in writing each kanji. For the trained eye, it is easy to understand "most" characters written. There are some that is so-o-o abbreviated that it must be explained even to the Japanese.

It is very much like the way you can figure out sloppy handwriting of a friend.

Not exactly Roget's, but there are dictionaries -- but Japanese only.

As far as I know, the kanji characters you want are in the realm of more advanced Japanese. Free websites offer elementary Japanese only. Try a library in your area - but you need to be competent in Japanese, unless some good soul has written a guide for English speakers.

By the way, the two kanji characters used for "sonkei" both symbolize "respect."

Hi hi!! I'm just wondering how to say I'm malaysian in japanese? All the learning japanese sites I've been 'attending' keep using Ingrisu, or amerika or doitsu or whatever =P don't need to know kana (yet!) just how to pronounce it!

Is it possible for me to receive corrections to this statement? Preferrably in Romanji.

Watashi wa kare ga hazure.

It is my understanding that the word, hazure is incorrect, but I can not find a romanji translation (due to my ineptitude most likely) for the term "I miss him".

I believe I have the previous japanese statement correct save for the "miss" part. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Posted on Sunday, May 30, 2004 - 03:47 am:   

Alex,

"Hazure" means "to miss" as in hit-and-miss.

"I miss him" cannot be translated as is. The most appropriate would be:

彼が居なくて淋しい。(Kare ga inakute sabishii: I'm lonely because he's not here.)

Anonymous: Kary is ケアリー or ケリー

Slut is ばいた (sorry, don't know the word in kanji--don't remember seeing it put down in writing.)
