This time, I introduce "how to use 3 writing systems".

As I introduced it last time, Japanese use 3 writing systems.
There is not a rule, but we have a good command of it to some extent.

A sentence with many "Kanji" gives a firm impression.
''Kanj'' is used a lot for the document which sat up straight, a document of work and a public document.
When you want to convey correct, faithful thought, it is effective when you use ''Kanji'' a lot precisely.

We use ''Kana'' with a kanji or use it alone.
When we want to express a sense, an onomatopoeia and a mimetic word, we often use "Kana"

When we want to express a smooth feeling, a soft feeling and a gentle feeling and the feeling that calmed down, we use "Hiragana"
Example)
つるつる ( tsu ru tsu ru )
ふわふわ ( fu wa fu wa )
ぽつぽつ ( po tsu po tsu )

When we want to express a feeling with unevenness, a firm feeling, a fearful feeling and the feeling that were excited, we use "Katakana"
When we express pronunciation of a foreign language, we use "Katakana", too.
Example)
ザラザラ ( za ra za ra )
ゴツゴツ ( go tsu go tsu )
ザアザア ( za a za a )

How do you feel ?
Do you feel different ?

As above,
We can express feeling by using Japanese 3 writing systems properly.
This is one of the reasons why I like Japanese.
I want many people to enjoy Japanese 3 writing systems.


I introduce ''Style of a kanji'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
