MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE JAPANESE

SYLLABARY

The Japanese Language (Nihongo) is the 4th most important

language in the world based on the number of speakers.
https://www.kjtranslations.com/blog/most-important-languages-of-the-21st-century/

Tategaki

• the traditional writing style, from top to bottom and

STI COLLEGE FORLANG2 MRS. E. LAILO, LPT

There are 3 writing systems in Japanese.

1. Kanji - Chinese characters or ideographs, each

conveying an idea, used to represent words of both
Chinese and native Japanese origin.

Uses of Kanji:

1. To write Japanese names

2. To write nouns
3. To write the stem of verbs and adjectives

Examples of Kanji

• 山口さん Yamaguchisan
• 日本語 Nihongo
• 入口 Iriguchi
• 出口 Deguchi

https://www.nippon.com/en/views/b05605/

STI COLLEGE FORLANG2 MRS. E. LAILO, LPT

2. Hiragana – set of symbols that make up words and is

used to write Japanese terms. The symbols are
curvilinear in style.

Uses of Hiragana:

1. To write words that have no Kanji

2. To write the reading of Kanji (Furigana)
Examples of Hiragana

• いつも Itsumo always

• はい Hai yes
• これ Kore this

https://www.japanistry.com/hiragana-katakana/

10
STI COLLEGE FORLANG2 MRS. E. LAILO, LPT

3. Katakana – set of symbols used primarily for foreign

names and place names, words of foreign origin and other
sounds. The symbols are made up of straight lines.

Uses of Katakana:

1. To write foreign words

2. To write technical terms
3. To write foreign names
4. To write onomatopoeia

Examples of Katakana

• アメリカ Amerika
• コンピューター Konpyu-ta-
• ジョン Jon
• エレベーター Erebe-ta-

Written Japanese normally makes use of all three.

Besides these three forms of writing, Japanese is

sometimes written in Ro-maji (Roman letters), particularly
for the convenience of foreigners. This is generally used
in teaching conversational Japanese to foreigners when
time is limited.

4. Use by foreign students of Nihongo esp. when time is
limited

3.Vehicle で Verb – The particle で indicates a means or
method. When verbs denoting movement (いきます/ きます/ かえ

transportation. The noun preceding で is a vehicle in this
case. When you walk somewhere, you use the expression
aruite. In this case で is not used.

Example: えき から あるいて かえりました。I walked home from
the station.
4.Person/ Animal と Verb- When you do something with a

Example: かぞく と にほん へ きました。- I came to Japan
with my family.
Example: ひとりで とうきょう へ いきます。ーI will go to
Tokyo alone.
5.Sentence よ - よ is placed at the end of a sentence. It
is used to emphasize information which the listener does
not know or to show that you are giving your judgement or
views assertively.
