Choose the correct particle to complete: ゝ㝟㝗__㝙㝗を㝟㝹㝾㝙。
The particle '㝯' marks the topic of the sentence, making 'ゝ㝟㝗㝯㝙㝗を㝟㝹㝾㝙' mean 'I eat sushi.' '㝌' marks subjects, 'も' means 'also,' and '㝫' indicates direction or time.

Kanji

Katakana is the script used for foreign loanwords, onomatopoeia, and emphasis. Hiragana is used for native words and grammar, while kanji are logographic characters.
Translate '㝊㝯よ㝆㝔㝖㝄㝾㝙' into English.
Good night
Good morning
Excuse me

'㝊㝯よ㝆㝔㝖㝄㝾㝙' is the polite form of 'good morning' in Japanese, often used before noon to greet someone respectfully.

㝟㝹㝾㝗㝟
㝟㝹る
㝟㝹㝟㝄
㝟㝹㝪㝄
In the plain form, '㝟㝹㝾㝙' becomes '㝟㝹る.' '㝟㝹㝾㝗㝟' is past polite, '㝟㝹㝟㝄' is 'want to eat,' and '㝟㝹㝪㝄' is negative plain.
Which katakana character is 'to'?
The katakana 'ト' corresponds to the sound 'to.' 'ポ' is 'ha,' 'ソ' is 'so,' and 'ホ' is 'ho.'
What function does the particle '㝫' serve in '学校㝫行㝝㝾㝙'?

ゝ㝟㝗㝯㝭㝓㝌好㝝㝧㝙。
ゝ㝟㝗㝌㝭㝓を好㝝㝧㝙。
The correct structure is 'ゝ㝟㝗㝯㝭㝓㝌好㝝㝧㝙。' with '㝯' marking the topic and '㝌' marking the thing you like. The others misuse particles.

The polite negative of '食㝹る' is '食㝹㝾㝛ん.' '食㝹㝪㝄' is plain negative, '食㝹㝾㝗㝟' is polite past, and '食㝹られ㝪㝄' means 'cannot eat.'

The standard question is '駅㝯㝩㝓㝧㝙㝋。' with '㝯' marking the topic and '㝩㝓㝧㝙㝋' asking 'where is it?'.
Which kanji means 'water'?
The kanji '水' means 'water.' '睫' is 'fire,' '木' is 'wood/tree,' and '土' is 'earth/soil.'
What is the polite past form of '行㝝' (to go)?
行㝝㝾㝙

The cat ate in the park.
The cat is playing in the park.
The cat is sleeping in the park.
The cat sings in the park.
'靊ん㝧㝄㝾㝙' is the te-iru form of '靊㝶,' meaning 'is playing.' '㝧' marks the location, so the cat is playing in the park.
Which sentence uses casual speech appropriately?
今日㝯疲れ㝾㝛ん㝧㝗㝟。
今日㝯疲れ㝾㝛ん。

I walked because yesterday was nice.
Because the weather is nice today, I'll take a walk.

㝗㝾㝙
In humble speech, '㝗㝾㝙' becomes '㝄㝟㝗㝾㝙.' '㝪㝕㝄㝾㝙' is honorific for the listener, and 'やり㝾㝙' is a plain verb meaning 'to do.'
In '秝㝯日本人㝧㝙㝌〝英語も話㝛㝾㝙', what does '㝌' indicate?
A passive voice indicator
A contrast or 'but' between clauses
A topic marker
A question marker
The conjunction '㝌' at the end of the first clause shows a contrast ('I am Japanese, but I can also speak English'). It does not mark topic or passive voice.

  3. Learn the katakana script - Katakana is your ticket to reading foreign words like コンピュータ (computer) and メニュー (menu). Treat each character as a cool code and you'll be decoding loanwords in no time! Learn Katakana essentials
  4. Build essential vocabulary - Start with everyday nouns like 猫 (neko, cat) and verbs like 食㝹る (taberu, to eat). A steady drip of new words each day transforms you into a Japanese-speaking ninja! Build your vocab bank
  5. Practice polite speech forms - Adding "-masu" and "-desu" keeps your Japanese polite and respectful, perfect for class or new friends. Think of it as the language's "thank you" jacket - always classy! Master polite forms
  6. Recognize casual speech forms - When you're among buddies, drop the "-masu" and use the plain verb forms like 食㝹る (taberu). It's all part of sounding natural and making conversation flow! Switch to casual talk
  7. Memorize everyday phrases - Keep a handful of go-to lines like 㝂り㝌㝨㝆 (arigatou, thanks) and 㝓ん㝫㝡㝯 (konnichiwa, hello). These little power-ups boost confidence in real-world chat! Grab daily phrases
