Q: This is very helpful. could you put the alphabet in Japanese on a chart and post it? thank you. - shelby

.

A: There are actually 3 extra types of alphabets in Japanese. And here are the printable charts for you:

The Katakana Chart & Hiragana Chart

The other alphabet is “kanji” Chinese characters, but as there are a couple of thousand of those, I’d recommend buying a book from Amazon rather than a chart for your wall!

Q: How do u say i love u

A: Literally “I love you” in Japanese is “ai shite imasu = 愛しています　= あい　して　います”, but this sounds a bit like you’ve just translated it directly from the English, and isn’t really used in Japan.

The phrase you use most often in Japanese is “大好き！　= dai suki = だい　すき = big like!”. If you hear this you’re on the right track!

Q: Hey How do u say “Will you marry me?” and “Say what?!” in Hiragana? oh and i love the this site xD - Jade

.

A: Hi Jade. “Will you marry me?” in Japanese is “kekkon shite kudasai = けっこん　して　ください　= 結婚　して　ください”. It ’s more “marry me!” rather than asking “will you marry me?”.

WIth something this important I think you might be better off sticking to English!

“Say what?” could be said in a few ways “nani = 何 = なに = what?” is probably the easiest way!
