That you got from omniglot razz

But "we" and "wi" like that aren't used anymore I don't think. In fact confused I'm not quite sure but I think I may have seen them in hentaigana... sweatdrop I dunno.


they are still used quite abit (not exactly in any vocabulary, but they are still use din other word)

surprised Really? So now I'm gonna have to learn them too... sweatdrop well when I can master speaking and kanji and all I'll learn them and hentaigana just to be safe.

Oh! Speaking of which, this should be in the kanji usage thread but what are ヶ 々 used for? like the second one makes the sylable (or whatever it's called)double like "shoushou" or in "Yoyogi" but I don't know where to find the info for them but I see them used a lot.

that is the alphabet right?

Pretty much but it's actually called a syllabary (sp?) because when you say them it's basically a sylable(sp?) but for Katakana there are some missing but I think this one was done before so it's more older but there are the sounds SI combining su and i. But it's only in Katakana. If your computer can see the kanji and kana then this is si スィ
Are you knew to the guild or to Japanese?
スィ i have never seen that.

Oh? sweatdrop I saw it in my book and I saw someone use it once. it was like a sound for a name or something but I think it's new like "di" or "du" or something like that? my computer doesn't type it unless I change it on the keyboard and make the ィ small. but like I think ツァ (tsa) is one? Or was my book wrong and I saw differently? sweatdrop

ヶ it read ka or ko it is a contraction of 個 

々 is doubler and is like this: 神⇒神々 (かみがみ) 

人々(しとと)

OH! I get it now! smile Thanks! but the first one I'm not sure how to use it. Just like the kanji? In place of the kanji?
I haven't learned that kanji yet so maybe that's why. 3nodding Thanks!

Oh! Now I get it! My book showed that but doesn't have every kanji so it just used the hiragana KA.

I'll check out your thread on counters then. But ツァ and スィ aren't used in Katakana and it's something someone made up?
I'm a bit lost now about that because you said you've never seen スィ so... yeah sweatdrop redface

well for visit you would write in english or katakan, doesnt matter, if you immigrate your name changes anyway, so, you have to write yournew name (also immigrated result in loss of nationality, which means you cant say im canadaian or white or whatever, you say your japnese)
