今の日本の天気はどうですか。お返事を待っていますよ。

Of course, it would be better to get translations from a native speaker. My Japanese isn't always very natural.

hehe here a piccy !

ビデオ(bideo) ゲム (gemu) in kataka written, that's one way how u can write it !

btw...I would smack someone who trashed a psp...I really would !

That should be ゲーム. ゲム isn't in the dictionary, and although it does get some hits on google, it doesn't get nearly as many as ゲーム.

Console games are テレビゲーム and arcades are usually just called ゲーム but sometimes you see them listed as アーケードゲーム. It can be confusing at times.

I feel bad for that guy with the tatoo. It's just... incorrect.

I'm pretty sure it's not permanent.... If it is, I would feel sorry for him b/c of the goofy colors.

Question

I was curious as to how to use that dictionary which was on the link. I'm trying to figure our how to say a friends "game name" with japanese.

His name is RedEagle

I would assume he would want (red) "Akai" and then whatever (eagle) is in japanese. Would you put the Eagle kanji infront of the Red Kanji or just simply go Red then Eagle still? Can you help me figure out how to use that dictionary to find how how to say Red in Kanji as well as Eagle in Kanji?

thanks very much

GaijinPunch · 4 Mar 2005

It doesn't really work like that. In that case, you would just say Red Eagle in katakana. Nothing Japanese laugh at more than trying to over Japanify things. Of course you could translate it, and other things, just usually sounds really goofy.
