Where does it show what every letter in the English alphabet would look like if it was translated into Japanese what is the symbol in Japanese for every letter in the English alphabet?

Answer 1

Well Japanese does not work the way English does for starters.

Like English they have vowels like ours a e i o u but theirs is pronounced totally different. There are two main alphabets when learning Japanese, Hiragana and Katakana. Hiragana is for native terms to Japan, and Katakana is for foreign words that they have incorporated into their language. These foreign words could be from any culture that they learned the objects from and cultures that influenced them.

Ex. T-shirt is from English so therefore they use T-shiyatsu which is pronouned the almost exact way in English. Bread though in Japanese is, Pan which is from the Portuguese word for bread.

You cannot directly translate the English alphabet into the Japanese alphabet. Our alphabet only contains one letter for each sound but their contains two for every letter and vowel combination.

EX. of how their alphabet looks, although it is a bit longer.

a i u e o ( Japanese vowels)

M ma mi mu me mo

H ha hi fu he ho

K ka ki ku ke ko
