Question

Did you know? Japanese uses three different writing systems simultaneously: kanji (Chinese characters for nouns), hiragana (curvy — for Japanese words and grammar) and katakana (angular — for loanwords and onomatopoeia). A single sentence can contain all three.

Accepted Answer

Japanese uses three different writing systems simultaneously: kanji (Chinese characters for nouns), hiragana (curvy — for Japanese words and grammar) and katakana (angular — for loanwords and onomatopoeia). A single sentence can contain all three.

Japans gebruikt drie verschillende schriftsystemen tegelijk: kanji (Chinese karakters voor zelfstandige naamwoorden), hiragana (krullerig — voor Japanse woorden en grammatica) en katakana (hoekig — voor leenwoorden en onomatopee). Eén zin kan alle drie bevatten.
