Preface
Japanese is supposed to be the one of the most hardest language of the world, Japanese language finds its origin from Chinese language ,over 24,000 words have been taken from Chinese calligraphy, with two separate native sallabaries,
The Japanese language is written with a combination of three scripts: Chinese characters called kanji, and two syllabic scripts made of modified Chinese characters, hiragana and katakana. The Latin script is also often used in modern Japanese, especially for company names and logos, advertising, and when entering Japanese text into a computer. Arabic numerals are generally used for numbers, but traditional Sino-Japanese.
Although Japanese is written using Chinese characters, and has historically imported many words of Chinese origin, the two languages are not considered to have a genealogical relationship.
There is no need to worry about the gender and number, they are far fewer than the most of the European languages, and with a sustained application you can achieve a supervising degree of fluency in basic level Japanese in a very minor time
The aim of this book is to give reader studying by himself/herself (self-studying), and to enable him/her to communicate in most of the simple everyday situations
On the other hand it is hoped that the book might also be useful as a handy practical reference grammar, even for the students who have achieved degree in fluency in Japanese.

    Japanese poetry

    • 6065 Words
    • 17 Pages

    Japanese poetry is poetry of or typical of Japan, or written, spoken, or chanted in the Japanese language, which includes Old Japanese,Early Middle Japanese, Late Middle Japanese, and Modern Japanese, and some poetry in Japan which was written in the Chinese language or the ryūka written in Ryukyuan: it is possible to make a more accurate distinction between Japanese poetry written in Japan or by Japanese people in other languages versus that written in the Japanese language by speaking of Japanese-language poetry. Much of the literary record of Japanese poetry begins when Japanese poets encountered Chinese poetry during the Tang Dynasty (although the Chinese classic anthology of poetry, Shijing, was well known by the literati of Japan by the 6th century). Under the influence of the Chinese poets of this era Japanese began to compose poetry in Chinese (kanshi); and, as part of this tradition, poetry in Japan tended to be intimately associated with pictorial painting, partly because of the influence of Chinese arts, and the tradition of the use of ink and brush for both writing and drawing. It took several hundred years to digest the foreign impact and make it an integral part of Japanese culture and to merge this kanshi poetry into a Japanese language literary tradition, and then later to develop the diversity of unique poetic forms of native poetry, such as waka, haikai, and other more Japanese poetic specialties. For example, in the Tale of Genji both kinds of poetry are frequently mentioned. The history of Japanese poetry goes from an early semi-historical/mythological phase, through the early Old Japanese literature inclusions, just before the Nara period, the Nara period itself (710 to 794), the Heian period (710 to 1185), theKamakura period (1185 to 1333), and so on, up through the poetically important…
