Hello, How do you know when to use one or another Alphabet? Is it formality or informality, or your choice, or a scenario where you use them? Thanks, Was curious.

[TheDoofusMaximus]

How would you write and say Sarah in Japanese?

and if possible, Doofus Maximus?

Love your Videos :D

[daiki1992]

Thank you!

Sarah in Japanese, "サラ(/sara/)".

"Doofus Maximus" in Japanese, "ドゥーファス・マキシマス".

There is one thing incorrect about this video ふフ hu is actually pronounced fu but will sometimes be romanized as hu

[daiki1992]

[robotwarsfan03]

[robotwarsfan03]

also what's my name in japanese my name's James

[daiki1992]

thanks.

your name in japanese,

"ジェームズ(/jēmuzu/)".

[robotwarsfan03]

kool also wondering, where's the letters with the line on them like ē?

[daiki1992]

ē=/è̞i/

[robotwarsfan03]

err sorry but i dont get u

[daiki1992]

"ジェームズ"→(pronounce) /jeimuzu/

[acromel]

It lengthens the sound of the syllable. Unlike in English, Japanese syllables are all usually the same length. Otherwise your name would be pronounced `Jams' - probably not what you'd want ;o)

The /è̞i/ is IPA notation - a way of describing the sounds in English to non-English speakers. Consider yourself fortunate that it's all natural to you! The Japanese have real difficulty with some of the sounds in English - many of them just don't exist in Japanese.

[robotwarsfan03]

like what sounds?

[acromel]

The simplest way is to show what sounds Japanese does have. It uses a sort of alphabet called hiragana - each 'letter' has a sound and Japanese words combine these sounds to make words.

Oborogin, he's Japanese, demonstrates them. You'll see/hear that there are few fewer than in English.
