there r two different types on japanese just so you know

by Anonymous 13 years ago

... Really now? And what are those?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

srry three types i was thinking of china and they are Kanji, Hirigana and Katakana it is a more modern way of saying i love you and you can also just say suki

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Kanji, Hirigana, and Katakana are all simply different character sets in the same language. They're used together, and using one doesn't mean you're speaking a different language than if you were using a different one. Unless you were using entirely Kanji, but then you'd be speaking Chinese, not Japanese.

I've learned a couple words in Japanese, but I never use them because I don't want people to think I'm a freak.

I took three years of japanese in high school, and mobius, you are right. The three types are the written language, it is all pronounced the same. Aishiteru Mobius! :D

if they're are so many different ways to say it, why did you post it?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

in hopes people wouldn't be picky about which way i said it. for crying out loud ppl there is more than one way so what? it doesn't make this way any less wrong

suki means like, you can 'suki' pretty much anything. daisuki, means really like, and sukissu pretty much means 'the act of kissing'. the proper way to proclaim 'i love you' is aishiteru. (speaking from a japanese major here)

well just so you know there is more than one way to say that is a proper way I know it is my dad's sister in law says so (she was born and raised in Japan) she lives in Japan it is was japanese teens say I love you. just because it is a newer version does NOT mean that it is wrong I know i have studied the language my name is Japanese i know the culture I know that teens (like myself) say suki as i love you in japan

Suki means like and you used the formal one in your post. You use Ashiteru for I love you. I just got back from Japan like 2 days ago because my dad lives there.

I once read that the Japanese don't really say 'i love you' to their lovers much anyway because it's not really a thing that's practiced much in their culture (same with India, I believe?). But, as I don't know many Japanese people nor have I ever been there, I can't be sure. Although, one example would be in Final Fantasy X at the end (SPOILERS AHEAD) when Tidus is fading away and Yuna trips when she tries to hug him; in the English translation of the game, she gets up and says 'I love you', but in the Japanese version she says 'thank you' (arigato), which I guess says something about what would have the more profound effect on the audiences from different cultures.

How about thedoctormerlin learns how to speak English before he/she begins preaching about Japanese? =.='

wth is that suppose to mean?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Ugh, why can't people just say it's due to the different accents in Japan? The reason why there's different ways to say it is because of the accents of different regions. I'm sure there're just as many accents in Japan as there are in China and Taiwan. There're also slang in Japanese. Sorry, I can only use Chinese as an example because my parents are Chinese and all my grandparents and parents have accents from different regions But I'm sure it applies to Japanese as well. They practically got their language from China anyways.

LISTEN PEOPLE THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO SAY IT!!! THIS HAPPENS TO BE THE WAY TEENAGERS SAY NOW!! I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE IT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS WRONG OR ANYMORE RIGHT!!

That's not the term I know for 'I love you' but I guess it could still be right . . . But you are right, after I learned that 'Saranghae' was the Korean word for 'I love you' I used that for a while =P

by Anonymous 13 years ago

it isn't the original word but it doesn't mean it isn't right

There are lots of ways to say different things...in Japan, people in the North, Middle and Southern parts speak very differently and it's almost like they have 3 languages. So who knows.

Suki means love/like, but "ssu" is teenage slang
