Wonderful! Thanks! :

I'm still missing Rohai from this reference page: pages.infinit.net/chitoryu/karate/kar_prog.html

Could I get someone to type that one for me? Again, many thanks.

荘鎮

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

There is a mistake on the page you linked to for Rohai. The Chinese characters are not 荘鎮 but rather 鷺牌.

Here is a link to the page where I got this information,
and here is the specific excerpt that was of use.

５．鷺牌・ローハイ（鶴・鷺の動き、太極空手形）
鶴形
五形拳にあげた、錬精が大きな目的である。優雅さの動きの中に、技の激しさが潜む。 体内では陰気初動を現す。下肢の力を上昇させ、頭頂の気を下降させることができる。 拳が正しければ、真気を五体に発散させることができる。

I love you guys. : You are so helpful!

If you're not completely tired of me, here's a little article from the English Wikipedia that I wrote from the Japanese Wikipedia, but since I don't read the Japanese language, the translation is likely to be very rough. Could I get someone to proof read it for me?

I'd also like to know what this one says, as it's a related company.

Could someone please type mugen for me (endless)? Here's a jpg of it:
Japanese kanji symbol for infinity

And could someone sort this out for me: Zenshinkotai translated as "advancing and retreating." I'm expecting it's made up of four kanji: "front/before" + "advance/push/progress" + "back/rear" + "retreat" or possibly mae+susumu+ato+shirizoku. Does that make sense?

 

[TheImmigrantSong]

Could somebody please post this in Hiragana or Katakana? Cannot read all the kanji! Thanks!

前進後退

Makes perfect sense to me! BTW, do you use Windows XP? You can type in Japanese if you know how to enable it. I did it once about a month ago, and I think I can find the web page that details how to do it if you want!

I do use XP, but I've always been too lazy to learn kanji. That means I'm depending on your grace to work on this project. However, I think I'm done for a little while. :

Many thanks for the characters!

前進・後退

前進 is one word, 後退 is another.
前進 means to advance (front/forward + proceed/go)
後退 means to retreat (backwards/back + withdraw/retreat)

Normally they are treated two words, even when put together without punctuation or linking particle such as と (= and), they are regarded as two separate words.

 

[Emi]

Hi!
I was wondering if anyone could help me?
My nickname has been Emi for years and years (real name Emma).
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the Kanji for it as I would like it as a tattoo at some point.
I did manage to find this by Googling around but I am not sure if it's right or not.... (see attachment) would like a second opinion on it as I don't want to be an idiot and tattoo something to me that is wrong!
Thank you!

 

[JimmySeal]

That is an accepted (and pretty) way of spelling Emi. There are about 160 different ways to spell Emi using kanji.

But since I replied, I must give you the advice I give to almost anyone hoping to get a kanji tattoo:
Don't get a kanji tattoo!

That's all

 

[Emi]

Out of interest why do you say that?

 

[hideway]

I would like to know if I got these 25 kanji "solo" readings well:
一: いち
二: に
三: さん
四: よん
五: ご
六: ろく
七: なな
八: はち
九: きゅう
十: じゅう
百: ひゃく
千: せん
万: まん
北: きた
南: みなみ
東: ひがし
西: にし
日: にち
月: がつ
年: ねん
左: ひだリ
右: みぎ
人: ひと
女: おんあ
男: おとこ

 

[The7thSamurai]

hideway, looks pretty right to me. Just remember that there are some other 'solo' pronunciations too. 四 = yon or shi. 七 = nana or shichi. Also, the 'solo' readings for 年 月 and 日 and 'toshi', 'tsuki', and 'hi', respectively. What you have there are their pronunciations for when they're combined with other words. E.g. 何年 (nannen)、 一月 (ichigatsu)、 毎日 (mainichi).

 

[undrentide]

I guess it is a simple typing error,
女 おんな (not おんあ)

You need to hit "n" twice to show ん.

 

[hideway]

undre, yeah, it was a typo, thanks for the tip.

Bucko, thanks for pointing the errors on those 3 kanjis. Although I've read that those are alternate sounds to be used on different situations I've never actually seen a use of し for 四, しち for 七 or く for 九, when exactly are these used?

 

[The7thSamurai]

Hideway, here are some examples:
しちじ = 7 o'clock
くじ = 9 o'clock
しちがつ = July
しかつ = April

 

[humair]

Hey there, just fyi I know nothing about writing/reading Kanji.

If possible can you translate "Celestial Hand" into kanji? (celestial as in heaven-sent/heavenly-body)

I looked it up and I think the closest thing to Celestial was 'Tenrai" and I think hand is "Te." So if I put those 2 together would that make sense? again...I know nothing about kanji any help is appreciated

Hi!
I'm new to the forums and had a question:
I was wondering how the name COOPER looks in Kanji?
And does writing Kanji vertically change the meaning?

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

Hi!

I was wondering how the name COOPER looks in Kanji?

Putting non-Japanese names into kanji is something of an "art". There is no one correct way to do it, and unfortunately they always look rather strange compared to a native Japanese (language) name written in kanji.

Here's my first attempt:

空羽

It means "sky wing" or "sky feather"

And does writing Kanji vertically change the meaning?

Not in the least!
