Is this correct if I want to say, "I'm at the house of my friend, A"?
(I'm verifying that 「名」 is unnecessary ...)
Thanks.

Thanks!
Glenn said:So how exactly should かたきをうつ be written? I've seen it two ways: 敵を討つ and 仇を撃つ (I'm pretty sure it was with that second kanji).
I didn't realize there are times when one shouldn't use the kanji for "iu" and its conjugations. Can anyone briefly explain this?KrazyKat said:Seems fine to me. Oh, but I would write iu in hiragana there. Would anyone put iru in Kanji here? I'm not so sure when I should use that one.

I would recommend avoiding the kanji 云う or even 謂う at this point in my studies if I were you, though! I can't think of many times I used either of these kanji seriously!Glenn said:It does. Thank you.
Pretty much any time it doesn't mean "say" or "tell" you should write it in hiragana. Of course, if you want to be old fashioned, you could use 云う if you really want to put it in kanji in the "X called Y" type situations.

１） ロールプレイングゲーム(RPG)をしています。
2) インターネットでXというビデオゲームをしています。
３） 何年も会わなかった友達に会いました。
I wasn't sure how to say 'over the net'. Also my third sentence doesn't seem to work well since it uses au twice but I wasn't sure what to go for instead.

I think they are not "standard" Japanese words that can be found in dictionaries but actually "creatively coined" words that are used as nouns.xeo4d said:I'm at a dead end here, i need these words translated into english and all I have are the romaji: (kanji would be appreciated)
1.) nakawateru
2.) oikage
3.) sharatsubaki
4.) oigesa
5.) iwazuki
6.) tenzi (I think it is 窶彑ﾂ催 "dotted with" but am unsure")
7.) yukizasa (again I believe this is "Snow peircing")
Any one of these would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance!
This might be written in hiragana or katakana, you won't get a lot of kanji from 'za.' In any case, I sort of suspect it can't come out to 'snow piercing...' (as a name ? perhaps it's a flower ? :emoji_blush: ).7.) yukizasa (again I believe this is "Snow piercing")
Any one of these would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance!
I don't think he is too sure since the only kanji actually given is attached to an incorrect romajiJ C said:1.)How certain are you about the ROMAJI you've got there?
There are a multitude of kanjis that share the same pronunciation. If the older kanjis are included, the possibilities are infinite. Some of the members may try wild guesses, but I won't because I think that's futile unless given far more contextual information. Sorry! ☝xeo4d said:the romaji was supposed to be tenzai, but I heard these words and so the transcription is the best that i can remember, these are "creative words" and as such i am merely trying to get kanji combos that produce some coherent meanings. There is no context here, just lone words, so I have consulted several kanji dicts besides wwwjdic to try and break the words down, but some have very obscure readings as it appears. NOTE: I have a very good feeling they are using obscure or outdated kanji
