ライオン - Raion
It can only be spelled in Katakana [ロマ "roma"] although maybe there might be unconventional uses for using Hiragana to spell English or foreign words.
The Japanese word for friend is tomodachi which is spelled like this in hiragana: ともだち
はなす /ha na su/ is hiragana for 'hanasu', meaning 'to speak' in Japanese.
I'm not really sure but usually Japanese spell names just the way Hiragana pronounces it's similarities to sounds of english. O'Connor would be O'Ka n na ru in hiragana dialect.
In hiragana, bina is "びな". In katakana, bina is "ビナ".
Kanji - 侍 Hiragana - さむらい
In romaji, the number 5 in Japanese is spelled "go."
You spell like... kyouba(in Romaji) - 競馬(in Kanji) - きょうば (in Hiragana)
たまんがろ in Hiragana, タマンガロ in Katakana.
友達 or in hiragana ともだち It is pronounced "tomodachi"
教科 <---in chinese characterastics きょうか<---in hiragana
Hiragana is one of the two Kanas of Japanese.. the other is Katakana, and they are both used to SPELL words, in the way that we spell words in English using symbols that represent SOUND.Kanji is the Chinese symbols that represent things as a whole. Like, an image of the thing.Hope that helps!
