English to Japanese

Traditional Japanese books (tategaki) are read from top to bottom in columns, and right-to-left, so these books are read from "back cover to front" compared to English books.

Modern Japanese books called yokogaki are printed in the English format.

The original Japanese writing system (kanji) came from Chinese, and consists of pictograms that represent sounds. There are several thousand of these. But most modern Japanese is written using the scripts called kana (hiragana or cursive, and katakana, or angular).

If you mean 'do' like in 'door' it is written ド in katakana and ど in hiragana and pronounced just the same. If you mean like in 'to do' it is written ヅ in katakana and pronounced /dzu/ and づ in hiragana with same pronunciation.

キム (kimu) is the Japanese version of the name 'Kim'.

You could say 'kaze to odoru,' written:　風と踊る

ojiisan - elder or if you know the person's name you add (+)san to the end of it ie. Namikiri-San. This shows respect.

there are many kombu = kelp nori = used in rolls wakame = used in soups just to name a few. really need the dish to be more accurate

Using Japanese alphabetic characters, of course.

It depends on how you spell it in Hebrew:

עֲטָרָה = "corona (of the sun)", "tiara", or "glands (of the penis)". In more religious literature, this form of atara means "crown" or is a metaphor for a person receiving God's glory.

אֲתָרָהּ = "her website"

'It is fun to learn' or 'Learning is fun' would be 'gakushuu WA tanoshii desu' or 'narau no WA tanoshii desu'. In the first sentence 'gakushu' means 'learning by studying', but in the second one 'narau' means 'learning' in general.

That is where ninjas originated. But they are actually known as Ninjanese. Some people think that Ninjas are Chinese or Japanese, but that is not the correct orrigination. Ninjanese is in fact the correct one.

The direct translation of Rabbit with horn in Japanese is ホーンとウサギ

I am waiting here now (casually): ここに待ってる (koko ni matte ru)

I am waiting here now (politely): ここに待っています (koko ni matte imasu)

I will wait here (casually): ここに待つ (koko ni matsu)

I will wait here (politely): ここに待ちます (koko ni machimasu)

According to Google Translate, it means "What do you under". It seems like only part of a sentence; we'd need the rest of it to make sense of it.

I'm not sure why you have added this to Eng<->Latin and Eng<->Finnish as well as Japanese. If you want other translations you have to post this question in each of those categories separately. Here is the Japanese translation:

'Kare wa seikatsu ni koufuku de junnoushiteiru'.

Trick or Treating really isn't done in Japan. Some Halloween customs are practiced, but only a few follow or know of trick or treating.

"okashi wo kurenai to itazura suru yo." means 'if you don't give me candy I will trick you", however that isn't a very polite thing to say on a stranger's doorstep that has no idea why you are there wearing a costume and brandishing a bag.

If at all it would be more commonly said as "Turiko or tureeto" (Trick or treat).

トム - tomu, or ターム - taamu.

The first one is the one you'd most likely be told by a Japanese speaker, but the second one gives the owner of the name a spelling and pronunciation in Japanese that most closely duplicates the way the name is said in English.

Kei te aroha au ki taku oranga

• Akuma

  Aku = an evil. wickedness. wrong. a vice.

  Ma = a demon. a devil. an evil spirit. evil.

You may say "ojiisan," "jiichan," or "sofu."

The Japanese word for grandfather is ojiisan. Phonetically, you'd pronounce it "oh-jee-sahn".

Ojiisan is the polite way to say "grandfather". You'd use it when referring to someone else's grandfather. The humble way of referring to your own grandfather in Japanese is sofu.

The purpose of that test, from what I could gather, is to prevent people who are not qualified to provide accurate translations from contributing to the site. Passing out the "answers" to this test would undermine that objective, and open the door for vandalism or poor quality translations. In other words, if you are interested in the translation of this test, I would suggest that you begin your study of the Japanese language. Learning another language, though difficult at times, can be a very rewarding experience.

津波

It's a concept that never acquired a specific name in English, and to differentiate between a tidal, or other large wave, earthquake generated waves are referred to by the name already in existence, albeit a foreign language, and now tsunami is a universal term.

Tsunami is also one of the most popular Japanese songs of all time, but the reference is a comparison between the emotions of love and the power of nature.

kimono

Modern Japanese has three scripts: Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana.

Kanji is the original script using Chinese characters, imported from Mainland Asia.

Hiragana is a flowing script adapted from Kanji (and simplified) which is used for grammar and if you don't know the Kanji for a certain word.

Katakana is like Hiragana, but very angular. This script is used for writing words that originate in another language, and the names of foreigners.
