Need a Kanji Translated? Just ask!

[FrustratedDave]

I should love to talk with you in Japanese some day!
Osaka ben can be quite 'colourful'!

Yes it can and my Japanese is all Osaka ben (Southern Osaka, which makes things worse)
It certainly would be great to put a voice to that cat.

@undrentide has a nice voice. I chatted with her one night over Skype. It was fun.

Hi

I've been drawing a new tattoo and it is mostly about a Japanese styled woman but I would love to add some kanji-writing there as well. I found this Kanji-writing by using google but I'd love to make sure it really says what it should. I am not really sure if the letter き is written correctly. It seems different. (I want it to say Live with more than one letter) I would also like to know if it's ok to have a word-live tattooed in your arm in Japan? I am going to visit Japan next year and I don't want to be ashamed of my new ink .



Can you help me out? Thank you very much.

 

[Mike Cash]

Because of the oddity of English spelling could you please clarify if you mean "live" as "opposite of dead" or "live" as "opposite of recorded"?

 

[Uzumaki87]

I mean the opposite of Death.

Thank you for your answer. ^^

Hi, everyone. : Could someone please give me the readings (or text-links) of these three kanji:

I've tried searching radicals, but I'm not sure what radicals to look for with these three. X_X Thanks in advance! <3

EDIT: Oh, and these ones too, if possible. These kanji just don't like to be searched by radicals. >_>

 

[Toritoribe]

折[お]り曲[ま]げ

抱[かか]えていた

 

[BoxedLunch]

Thank you so much, Toritoribe! Sorry to be a bother, but could someone also tell me the readings of these kanji? (well, I know the first one in the first link is 'one,' but I thought I'd just keep it in for clarity)

These kanji just don't want to be searched by radicals. >_>

 

[Toritoribe]

摑[つか]む
(This is the traditional form of 掴.)

一瞬[いっしゅん]握[にぎ]り

生きる was the name of a famous Kurosawa movie.

Amazon | 生きる [DVD] | 志村喬, 小田切みき, 伊藤雄之助, 小堀誠, 金子信雄, 千秋実, 田中春男, 黒澤明, 橋本忍 通販

It may just be me, but when I see this word without context, this movie is the first thing I associate it with.

Hello everyone, first time posting on here! This is the kanji signature (i think?) on a silk painting of a geisha. We would love to know what the name of the artist is who painted it so we can look them up, but I uh... don't read kanji. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

[Toritoribe]

I can't decipher the first kanji, but the second one seems like the cursive form of 花[hana].

Hello
I want the pronunciation of the following sentence:
森 と 森 の 間 に 川 が あります
is it mori to mori no kan or shin to shin no kan ?

ThanQ very much

Hello
I want the pronunciation of the following sentence:
森 と 森 の 間 に 川 が あります
is it mori to mori no kan or shin to shin no kan ?
ThanQ very much

もりともりのあいだにかわがあります
Mori to mori no aida ni kawa ga arimasu.

There are many exceptions, but usually one single kanji is pronounced in kun-yomi rather than on-yomi.
森 もり（訓読み） 森林 しんりん（音読み）
間 あいだ（訓読み） 空間 くうかん（音読み）
川 かわ（訓読み） 河川 かせん（音読み）

 

[Alish]

What is the pronunciation of the second 人 ?
このくにの 人口 は一万人ぐらいです
According to the previous post I guess it must be "ひと". Am I right?

Hello,
sorry , thread error

 

[Sknictik]

Can you, please, help me translate kanji in the picture? I couldn't find radicals that look like corners at the left side of this kanji. Are those even radicals or some technical symbols maybe? Also in context it was before 動 kanji.

Thank you!

 

[nekojita]

活 (活動)

 

[Sknictik]

活 (活動)

Thank you! Now i understand.

I used to play a game called throne of darkness and I am interested in what some of the kanji are/mean. I am pretty sure I know what one of them is. And I think I know what the other means. On the third I am unsure of anything.



this one I think is "ki" 気 and is used as a type of "mana" in the game



This one I think is like life or something. I am unsure of the meaning and what kanji is used.



And this is the one I am unsure of overall. I think it may be related to throne or darkness since that is the title of the game. And it is on the cover. Thanks in advance. I hope my pictures show up. :emoji_fearful:

 

[Toritoribe]

You are correct about 気. The second one is 命, which means "life", as you expected. The last one is 魔, meaning "demon" or "evil spirit".

 

[OoTmaster]

And how are they pronounced? And is the last one akuma as in demon or a different kanji?

 

[Toritoribe]

Ki, inochi, ma, in order
Akuma is a compound word 悪魔.

 

[OoTmaster]

Thanks. You have been a big help. 8D
