Thanks! I am fascinated by this language and culture. Now I will be able to read in Katakana. Isn't it right that Katakana is the more used than Hiragana in Japan?

[CrazyLassi]

@xXMercifulFallXx Yes, that's rigtht! Hiragana is used more than Katakana.

[CrazyLassi]

@needelbeene Yes, that's totally right :)

Tsu and Chi looks exactly the same, how can you tell the differences??

@agemaister :

Hiragana is used for japanese words.

Katagana is used for words that are of a foreign origin.

I think. Correct me if i'm wrong!~

[agemaister]

Can someone tell methe difference between Katakana and Hiragana what is this? .__.

@CrazyLassi How exactly do you combine the letters to make a word?

[ArturoYamashita]

@xXMercifulFallXx Katakana is basically used for describing foreign stuff which is imported to Japan from outside of Japan and foreign name excluding the things can be described with Kanxi. So, all of Chinese stuff are generally described with the letter of Han.
