as a foreigner you write it in Katakana.yekita said:For example, say you have to fill out a form and you have to write your name. Would it be more appropriate to write your name in hiragana, katakana, or kanji? Or does it really matter?
Pachipro said:If filling out an official Japanese form, it is appropriate to write your name in katagana or romaji if you are a foreigner. It would not be appropriate to write your name in kanji or hiragana.

ive heard that like japanese babies, finnish babies are born with blue spots on there *** cheeks, the so called mongolian spots (窶堙?窶堋、窶堋ア窶堙坂?堙アツ)
is there any truth to this?
miu said:No
Your misconception probably derives from the fact that somewhere in the beginning of the 20th century an anthropologist got it into his head that Finns are actually mongols. This is a misconception and the reason is pretty evident just by looking at any (ethnic) Finn.

who are some world famous Finns?
