A lot of kanji overlap, either on meanings or pronunciation. A good site will show you the word, and then a rough English equivalent. If it doesn't, the best thing to do is use one that goes both ways E->J & J->E and re-type in the word you were given.
You should know all the Kyoiku kanji, which is 1006. People in Japanese schools are required to learn this before graduating 6th grade, so if they game is directed more towards that age, than you should know all of the Kyoiku kanji.
Usually the tattoos you see are a character called a "kanji". They can be read many ways depending on which kanji follows which, and so on. It's very hard to take a kanji and translate it because you need to actually know Japanese to have a recognition software properly process the kanji.
I would recommend you use a Japanese keyboard extension on your computer if possible, there are many options for the kanji, this is the first option that came up "久爪" Though I do not know the translation for the first kanji(久), the second one (爪) means hook or claw.
You either won't or you will. Kanji are Chinese characters, so by themselves you won't know the difference unless the characters only make sense in one language and not the other. But, when the Japanese write, they punctuate with particles are such. So, when you see things like hiragana and/or katakana, you will know that the what you are reading is Japanese.
Goujasu Pronounced: Go-Jes-Soo Sorry, I don't know the kanji!
Only Japanese names (and possibly Chinese names) are written in kanji, though a Japanese person may be able to choose out some good characters from the 4,800+ kanji characters in existence. If you want to know your name in KATAKANA (foreign words writing), it's ダニエル.
You can't tell from just romaji, you need to know what the kanji (chinese characters) are. The same name can be spelled with many different cominations of kanji.
'Ai' means 'Love' in Japanese. But I don't know if the kanji has another significate, sorry. I hope I helped you. I guess my English isn't very good...
depends on the Kanji for it One of the definitions I know is "Ice" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I learned it means, "panther".
It is rare for someone to know all 80,000 kanji characters. Most native Japanese speakers learn around 2,000-3,000 characters, and even scholars may not be familiar with every single kanji due to their complexity and rarity of usage.
Kanji is not just one symbol. It's a group of characters that make up the Japanese written language. Along with kanji, there is also katakana and hiragana. If I'm not mistaken all three of these combined form what is called Kana or "Japanese symbols", which is basically the Japanese "alphabet", though this is rather oversimplified. Kanachart.com is just one of many online references where you can see and learn a few of the ''thousands'' of Japanese characters. There is also Romaji. This is where Japanese words are spelled out more or less phonetically using the Roman (our) alphabet. In Romaji: * one - ichi * two - ni * three - san * four - yon * five = go The function of Kanji is tell to the reader what's the main idea of a word, verb etc. You use Kanji to write the main part of a word, and Hiragana to write its declinations and variant parts. In Japanese, to be totally fluent in Kanji, you need to know 2,000 of them. Each Kanji has different readings (some may have Chinese and Japanese readings). The right reading depends of the rest the word, or by context you can guess.
時間 jikaan 時 toki I trust you didn't mean the verb? I don't know that.
