Answer 2

There a few similarities between the English Language and the Japanese Langauge. For one, the Japanese langauge have many meanings for just one word, example "Hana" could mean Flower or Nose or Edge.

Also, another difference is pronounciation.

I is pronounced ee

u is pronounced oo etc.

But there are similarities, such as the similar sounds in some words such as "Ki" which means tree and they both sound the same. But whether this is a coincidence or not I'm not sure.

Also, American or English words incorporated much later on in the Japanese Language sound very similar, such as Coffee is "Kohi" or Cupcake is "Kappukeki"
