    JAPANESE WRITING SYSTEM


    3 kinds of characters in JAPANESE:

    1. HIRAGANA – phonetic sound; roundish in shape; used in particles, and native


    Japanese words and conjugation endings
    2. KATAKANA – phonetic sound; straight lines; used for foreign words or loan words
    3. KANJI – also known as Chinese characters, not only represent sounds but also
    meanings; mostly used in nouns, stem of words and adjectives.
