Typing in Japanese on your form isn’t difficult. But if you want to write Japanese you need to learn Japanese first. So if you want to learn Japanese with me, I can send you some Japanese lessons where I teach you the kind of Japanese that Japanese people actually speak. Click here and subscribe bit.ly/3icChu2

はいそうです 😭

[@bosco_c6431]

Actually it involves in historical reason,hiragana is used for daily spoken language,katakana is used for reading of foreign language like English and for specific name like companies or people's name ,since Japanese borrowed Chinese characters in tang dynasty, kanji is formed,however,since Chinese has many words which are Same in pronunciation but different in tone,while Japanese doesn't have that kind of tones, they have to indicate the words in kanji to prevent confusion

[@RanmaruRei]

@@bosco_c6431 there is one more reason and I believe it's more significant. Writing in kanji is shorter, than in kana. In old days writing material (I hope I use right words) was not that cheap. I remember how my native language (Russian) was written in old manuscripts. For instance, instead of Богородица (lit. the Mother of God) in the Bible wrote Б҃ца. And it's just one of the tricks used to save precious space.

[@bosco_c6431]

@@RanmaruRei yes,as the Japanese borrow kanji, they speak kanji in their language, which the advantage of original kanji , one character has one syllable only has disappeared , in Japanese spoken Japanese ,1 character might have 1 or even 3 syllables for one kanji, if they directly write in hiragana or katakana, the sentence will be so long

I am Japanese and am a young person, but I don't use the typing system. I usually use the Roma Ji Keyboard, it looks like normal English keyboard. Some Japanese use that one, so you don't have to remember the way he explained if you found difficulty. However, that one which he explained is the most common way to type on the phone(many elderly folks can't do this though), if you could do this every Japanese will be surprised!!! Please try just a once(^^♪ sorry if my english was not good

[@KawaiiLolipop216]

ありがとうございます！ Also, your English was great 👍

[@VanquishR]

I’ve been learning Japanese and I agree that the romaji keyboard is way easier to use, especially since I’m an English speaker. All you have to do is remember the sound of the word and you can type it. I think it’s best at the beginning but using the other keyboard is probably better once you’re more proficient in Japanese (since you should be learning more about moras and becoming intuitive with sentence structure and kanji). The journey has only begun! 日本語は難しいです (Hopefully I didn’t mess up that sentence 😂)

[@TechSpec814]

I am Spanish and just now relearning Japanese. The Spanish keyboard is similar to the English one. Personally, I want to avoid the romaji keyboard even if it allows me to type faster as I want to try practicing with the Japanese characters themselves, so I use the keyboard similar to the video. I think it's a better way if you want to get used to writing in Japanese

Yeah, it also saves a lot of space because it uses less characters which is good for things that have a limit on characters like insta bios, discord messages etc.

[@LE4F4]

It's actually pretty interesting! The Kanji characters got obviously introduced first, when Japan didn't have its own writing system. Since women were not allowed to learn Kanji in the 8th century, they made up their own writing system, Hiragana. Men were allowed to learn Kanji in the 8th century but were not always sure about the pronunciation, that's why they invented Katakana, to write it above the Kanji and therefore know how a specific word gets pronounced. Nowadays, hiragana is used above a kanji to know its pronunciation, while Katakana is used for foreign words :)

[@sirebellum0]

Early Japanese Language Meeting "Alright, we got Hiragana fully understood! Finally, a simple writing system to communicate ideas!" "Hmmmm, with these characters all jumbled together its kinda hard to read" "I got an idea. How about we add spac---" "LET'S ADD AN ADDITIONAL ALPHABET TO DISTINGUISH WORDS!" "Sure, let's go with that" "Yep, the easiest solution, really."

[@Maxsao]

@@ray8221-y4r sure :) so 日本人 is nihonjin how you probably know. 日本語 is read nihongo. The kanji 人 (if it stands alone its read hito) is btw the kanji for human and the kanji 語 (go) is the one for language. You can add 語 at the end of any country to say the language and 人 to say the are from there. For example, ドイツ人 (doitsujin) means the German human andドイツ語 (doitsugo) means German as the language. So if I say 僕はドイツ人です (boku ha[wa] doitsujin desu) it means "I am German". Hope I could help you a bit, I´m learning Japanese now since about 1 and a half year.

Everything will way better after u managed that. If you are very dedicated you can manage to learn them in a single week (it took for me about 2) just sit down and do it, ik it isn't fun xD I would recommend using a textbook (I used marugoto, they are amazing just go with the rikai edition if u pick them) to structure you learning.

So I'm curious of the answer, too, as a fellow student. One helpful thing I've found is that, when writing name Kanji, find a common word with that Kanji in it and delete the other characters (and repeat for the second Kanji). For the really tough ones though, I'm not sure...

The easiest way on smartphone is handwriting it (the special space to write is not available on all keyboards though, but when it is, IA is usually pretty good to guess and suggest the kanji you wrote).

@@soseikiharagatatsu7859 Nah man there is more, but it's not the only genuine issue to be engulfed within kanjis during memorizing them. There are multiple pronunciations you are supposed to know, meaning that the kanji on its own might mean nothing to you clause wise 降る(furu) (to verb of falling for rain) 降りる(oriru) (to get off) but "降" that guy means nothing to me when i see it in context

Is it common to type a different pronunciation from the one the context needs just so the desired kanji can be found faster? So long as it's normal words, I reckon there isn't really a need for that; but for some names that have very uncommon pronunciations (to my knowledge, sometimes that pronunciation can even be region specific), it seems convenient to go for the most common pronunciation just so you can find that kanji.

[@wolfthunder2526]

I usually type japanese using QWERTY too.. it is a lot easier for me, because I use to read Latin alphabet. Once, I tried using that sweeping style of writing, it ended with confusion 🤣, too many sweeps. And thanks to the Kanji suggestions system, I recognize a lot kanji combinations with its meaning, yet If I have to rewrite it again I'll be just like an elementary school student. 🤣

[@Smolharuharu]

Kanji is funny because you can spend some time learning it and stop practicing Japanese, and months later still be able to understand the idea behind the kanji but not know the Japanese words behind it anymore lol

I am so used to the wapuro method (alphabet in, japanese out) that even though a few months ago I got myself a japanese phone I am using that imput method there too. The swiping method is very clever but it is just like the hiragana keyboard on a PC - I would have to train too much and that is a hassle, it is bad enough that I have to use QWERTY because in my language we use QWERTZ like most of central Europe.

[@egosirius]

at least the Microsoft keyboard (SwiftKey) allows us to create shortcuts, you type something and the word appears on the recommend words. Like you type "idk" and the kb types automatically the expression "I don't know". actually it works with anything you want to write.

Yuta, if you ever plan to follow up on this video, I suggest discussing how Japanese people type on a keitai flip phone with no touch screens. I was expecting Japanese keyboards would have something like T9 predictive text, or maybe multi-tap but the swiping feature is also interesting. I wonder how predictive text worked back then.

When I first started I was using the romanji keyboard, but I found the 12-key kana one to be better, it is a bit annoying as it doesn't have a dedicated katakana mode so it's sometimes a pain if it doesn't show up in the possible options above it. It does fairly well for Kanji, provided you know which one you need
