could you provide an example? since its hard to tell when there is no example provided.
like this
英語の勉強は難しいが、最後迄諦めません
I just got an example off of the social feeds, so like how can you tell the words apart- i think it was supposed to read as "eigo no benkyou wa muzukashii ga, saigo made akiramemasen. to tell it apart i think the firat thing you should know is japan has this things called particle such as waは,noの,woを,deで and etc.idk if this is that you ask or anything but feel free to correct me
Like coffeb said, there are some kanas that are particles, and those can mark the end of the words. So, following by your example:
英語の勉強は難しいが、最後迄諦めません:
英語の: eigo NO. Word composed by 2 kanjis, their repective reading are their on reading.
勉強は: benkyou WA. Same as before, their on-yomi.
難しいが: muzukashii GA. You see is a word with one kanji, so we use it's Kun reading.
In the examples, の, は (here as particle is pronounced wa and not ha) and が are particles and you can use them for separate words.
The last part is more complex (最後迄諦めません) and requires that you know some vocabulary to recognize the words. In this example, there are 3 words:
最後: saigo. Word made from 2 kanjis, on reading.
迄: made. 1 word of 1 kanji, kun reading.
諦めません : akiramemasen. Verb in formal negative form and 1 kanji, kun reading.
You can ask more examples if you need. :)- Wow thanks you people are super friendly in here
- And Juanancuenca, so like you did on the last part with those three word examples, how did you Separate the words and know them sense there are no spaces in Japanese? Like do you just have to know a lot of vocabulary?
- Correct, that was by knowing a lot of vocabulary and kanji. Half the kanji used in that example are from levels 4 and upper of this site. You will recognize the words in the future, so don't worry and go step by step learning kanji and vobabulary from basic levels.
- thx juanancuenca for the additional info , all you need is practicing.. you will find your way in the middle of it. or for some extra info you might want to get some basic book first at the local book store while doing this website too :)... keep learning man...
- Thanks 😝
- And is there any stores to get manga in actual Japanese in the U.S??
I know for a fact that they have an entire Japanese manga section, including "kids/easy to read" using furigana and regular books in Japanese, too. It's at Barnes and Nobles. I don't know if your Barnes and Nobles has it, too, but you can also buy it online if you can't find it anywhere else. But if you've never read Japanese manga before, it goes from top right to bottom left, i think. I hope this helped.- Thanks next time at Barnes and Nobel I’ll ask them
