Need a Kanji Translated? Just ask!

[davmandy]

Speaking of Japanese for non-Japanese names, when I first arrived in the country, my Japanese friends and I tried out all sort of fancy kanji for "Petersen". When I eventually got hired by a Japanese company however and needed to get an official seal made, the director said that as far as he was concerned, using katakana was the only appropriate solution for business purposes.

Just his opinion, but I bet a lot of business people agree.

What does it mean: 禁帯出?

 

[undrentide]

What does it mean: 禁帯出?

禁 forbid(den)
帯出 to bring/take out (with oneself)

禁帯出 kin taishutsu is often found on certain books at a library, meaning you cannot bring it out of the establishment, certain reference materials such as dictionary or very much valuable books, for example.

[JimmySeal]

Could these be the ones you're looking for?

平 挨

 

[pugtm]

the first one looks right the second may or may not be...
what do they mean?

 

[Niedy]

猴 <-- maybe the second one is this?

平 - flat, even, plain

挨 - push open

but usually those are found in compounds like 平和 (peace) or 挨拶 (greeting)

 

[pugtm]

猴 <-- maybe the second one is this?

i think actually that that is it can you tell me what it means?

 

[Niedy]

Hi everyone, i need some help ive been searching the net looking how to write my birthday in kanji and have had no luck. I had a go last night but wasnt sure if it was correct. (my birthday is; 21st september 1986)

this is how i did it (in symbol order)

2, 10 and 1 = 21
9 = september
1000, 9, 100, 8, 10 and 6 = 1986

The reason i need to get this as accurate as possible is because i want it as a tattoo and dont want to get it wrong.

一千八十六年九月二十一日
This is how you write it.

From your order:
二十一日
九月
一千八十六

Though it is often written in this, simplied (though not showing), way now a days; and, as a note, when writing "horizontally", initially formal numbers are used and not the kanji.


I hoped I have helped you.

 

[lewis1986]

Thanks ninjinsamax3!

Just a couple of questions:

There looks like there is no '9' in 1986, it looks like 1086 is this how it should look like?

What is the symbol at the end, the one that looks like 2 boxes.

and my last question, would it be written the same if i wanted it vertically?

Sorry to be such a pain

lewis

 

[ninjinsamax3]

I apologize for that I was typing it fast.

一千九百八十六年

I think it would be very long if written vertically, and yes it would be written the same.

It always starts with year, month, and then day.

If it is written horizontally, normally we use Arabic numbers i.e.
１９８６年９月２１日
When written vertically, it is more common to use kanji like this.
一
九
八
六
年
九
月
二
十
一
日
(You don't usually write 千、百、十 for "year" in 4 digits. )

That is true, that is the other way that I did not put.

Hey, found this forum looks good
Was wondering if anyone could tell me the kanji for
Remember. as if its telling you to remember the name.
and the name, Charlotte.
Its for somone close thats leaving soon.
Many thanks if anyone can.
Would mean alot
-Russell

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

If you want to say "Remember Charlotte", as in a memorial or something similar, in Japanese the direct translation would be better to be "don't forget".

I'm not sure what the best to say it would be, but if I were to write this, I would do it as the following:

シャーロットを忘れない

where

シャーロット is Charlotte and the rest is "won't forget".
