stupid question really, but what do japanese think about romaji?

>> No.1969010

I don't know what the Japanese think but it's a fucking eyesore to me

>> No.1969009

They have katakana for pig disgusting gaijin words. Using our writing system is a step too far for most.

>> No.1969014

Just wondering, what does Europe think about Cyrillic?

>> No.1969015

I wish the nips would settle just with one syllabary. Preferably Katakana. They can keep the kanji, I just don't see the point of having hiragana and katakana.

I'm sort of stupid so I wouldn't notice if there really is a reason for this.

So if they read something Japanese written in romaji, do they fully understand it?

They don't read anything in romaji. They see it is in romaji and know that it isn't worth reading.

>> No.1969029

I'm gonna try guessing and say they see it as something completely unnecessary and irrelevant to their daily lives, as it only has an advantage to people who do not know their writing systems, and it's much less efficient.

That's like saying that we should either ONLY USE CAPITAL LETTERS or only lowercase letters.

>> No.1969045

Keep the hiragana and katakana, get rid of the kanji.

>> No.1969048

>>1969031

That doesn't help me at all.

Just tell me why they need both. I'm always willing to learn new things.

Too many homonyms in Japanese to do this

His point is that you don't exactly need both, but having both upper/lowercase (or hiragana/katakana) allows for better flexibility. You have to learn two alphabets in English so doing the same in Japanese can't be so bad (d looks NOTHING like D etc)

This man is correct. And it's not really noticeably troublesome to learn both when you're growing up, you'd learn it naturally from your environment. It's only noticeable when you're trying to learn them just by studying, and even then it's just one more day of studying to get it down mostly perfectly.

I always wondered what's the meaning behind this. Anybody filling me in?

There is a good reason for the 3 "alphabets".
They don't use spaces in their writing. So simply put, they use the kanji, hiragana, and katakana, to seperate different words, and express different noises or emotions. It's just like the spaces between the words we type in romanji.
