...

Just, I seem to be finding both kinds on the same page.

[TheEnd]

...

Go away.

Epitome of stupid question: Hiragana and Katakana aren't used together, right?

In the same word, usually not.

Hiragana is used for Japanese words. Katakana is used for foreign ones.

(That's a rule of thumb. For instance, I've seen katakana used as ALLCAPS - like in Julius's rant.)

There are some characters that are similar in katakana and hiragana though. Notably ka and he.

Ah, so... I can find Hiragana and Katakana on the same page?

[AstraLunaSol]

If you're refering to the one that's one square up and three squares to the right of Manfloy that's Ethlin.

Oh, wow. I'm going to die.

Whoa, really? That's awesome.

And she gains Astra? That's so... Very... Awesome...

I know, I'll be moving at a slower pace now. But I still can beat Enjo.

Best episode in the entire series. It could end there and I still would be satisfied.

Yes? Say you have a guide for Kingdom Hearts II. It has a regular sentence in hiragana that uses the word ロクサス somewhere. Then, of course.

[TheEnd]

Ah, so... I can find Hiragana and Katakana on the same page?

Or even in the same sentence.

[Lux Aeterna]

Or even in the same sentence.

But never in the same word... right?

And I'm finding symbols that aren't on the chart...

[Junkhead]

.....

=)

[AstraLunaSol]

Damn this all, 99 seems only to be hosted on Veoh. And when it's not, it doesn't have subs.

[Hatari]

Dio X Hatari

I'm still not going to loop with you....just keep dreaming.

You can't see it, but I'm giving your the look of disapproval right now.

lol sashi.

the sleep helped...but, now i can't go back to sleep though X_X. at least it's the weekend, so staying up late is acceptable.

[TheEnd]

That's because there are also the ideograms, aka kanji. They're characters that have meaning by themselves instead of sounds. As rule of thumb, they look more complex than hiragana and katakana. (Obviously, I'm not asking you to learn those.)

Let's take your Sylvia screenshot, for instance.

The four values at top-right are kanji only, as are most of the stats.

However, the equips themselves are mostly in katakana and hiragana.

Reipia (rapier)

Rosario

Zantetsu ken (that "ken" is the kanji for "sword", one of the few they actually use in equipment naming)

Likewise, the class and character names are in katakana as well (Shiruvia / So-do dansa-).

Hey Rei Rei, I'm going to take back the music thread...though I was trying to be nice today, so I posted Bon Jovi.

Saw it. Finally you posted quality.

[Hatari]

Don't get use to it...you had a whole week without my lovely tunes. So, I have to make up for some lost time.

Surewhynot

[Hatari]

Surewhynot

...I think those are the only two bon jovi songs, in my library...oh, except this one:

There we go, I have three old songs :P.

[Rei Rei]

It's My Life is not that old.What about Misunderstood?

[Balcerzak]

There is probably a rare exception out there somewhere, but as a general rule of thumb, that works splendidly.

[i had a smart-ass comment about we and wi here, but I decided it was better not to confuse you.]

don't know that song...unless you mean P!nk's song called that.

...the only thing I know about Japanese Writing...is the history of it XD.

No, the Bon Jovi one. Search for it

You mean how they snatched the kanji from China and their women came up with kana?

[Lux Aeterna]

Facepalming, because I noticed I forgot the symbols at the top that are one letter, answering a lot...

I decided to try my hand at writing my name in Japanese, and since the name itself isn't Japanese, I went with Katakana, as well as Kanji since Katakana didn't have "va".

エ(ヷ)ン

How's that?

[Hatari]

No, the Bon Jovi one. Search for it

Don't wanna...

Indeed...Korea did something similar...stealing from China that is.

Women's history is really interesting as well.

I find it interesting, how during the Japanese annexation of Korea from 1910 - 1945, the Japanese tried to stomp out Korean Culture...forgetting that Korea was the channel though which Chinese learning came from in the beginning XD. Out of the three Asian powers, Korea is the least known I think.
