Katakana and hiragana have some similar characters so it's not that hard such as Hiragana: Katakana せ : セ (se) か : カ (ka) き : キ (ki) Etc There are these words that will give you some trouble in katakana シ (shi) ツ (tsu) ン (n) ソ (so) ノ (no) And these in hiragana を (wo) ぬ (nu) め (me) ゆ(yu) ね (ne) れ (re) け (ke) た (ta) に (ni) は (ha) ほ (ho) ま (ma) BTW I learnt these in a continuous week with practice so I believe you can do too and better. Good luck! Oh and on a last note here are some example of Kanji writings 山 (Yama) = Mountains 二 (ni) = two 好き (suki) = like love etc
@@spiiceballz Its Hiragana+Kanji Katakana is only used for foreign words/names, scientific words, some animal/plant names, onomatopoeia(sounds like "the cow says 'moo'"), and for emphasis(like using Italics) Most normal Japanese uses Hiragana+Kanji
1. U know arabic because ur a muslim and ur read quran which allah says tehy made quran easier to be remember but this is different for Japanese because there are nothing says japanese is easy to kearn if u know japanese culture
My name is ルーク. Which is Ruuku. So basically, my name is Luke, however the "Lu" sound simply doesn't exist in japanese, although it can be swapped out for a similar "Ru". The ending singular sound of "K" isn't possible in Japanese, so we swap that for "Ku". I specifically chose "Ku" because the vowel is dominantly pronounced with the "U" vowel. Now, we need to extend the "U" vowel, to compensate for the pronunciation of Luke. So we have ル (Ru) and extension of the words to make the U sound longer ー and finally く (Ku). This is written in Katakana. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
My name is Luc, but I live in brazil, and it's pronounced basically the same as Luke. In france I think it sounds closer to "Lyuk", but that would make it Ryukku (thats whats google translate says it should be in japanese) but I don't like how that sounds, so I'd probably go by ルーク (Ruuku)

You get two different choices with Katakana: - Traditional (which uses only the ones which can correspond easily into Japanese phonology) - Expanded (which for English and/or foreign speakers makes translating their words easier to differentiate) So long as you know the basics for how to pronounce the word you wish to transliterate, then you can easily make it so.
"First, you need to have a basic understanding of the Japanese language" Being multilingual but not speaking the languages that you want is worse than only speaking one language :,)

@@runningoutof_ink oh, no i agree with that i just meant like, if you wanted to go by a slightly different name, speaking a second language is a good time to do so, like, if i wanted to use the second possible pronunciation of my name when translating it into japanese, that would be fine.
Yes. It should be. レイチェル (re, i, che, ru) vs レイチエル(re, i, chi, e, ru) also idk why he bothered with the caligraphy ... its fine messing around at home but I would be woefully embarrassed to show that kind of writing in public.
Luke Troftgruben Calligraphy is a form of art, but hardly anyone uses it for normal writing. It’s only for special events or holidays that they use it. And I do kind of agree the calligraphy is a bit too bulky.
@@kwyite I know Lucas. I was saying why bother with writing with a brush when it is so mediocre. Just stick with the sharpie it gets the point across without showing mediocre character writing.
So i used it for my name (Dallas) and i got (ダラシ) "Darashi" i got it when split my name into four parts (da) (l) (la) (s) then i ditched the l and then i got to work, since the "a" part of da sounded like it should i turned "Da" into "だ" for the "la" part i used the same r to l rule and went from "La" to "Ra" to "ら". And for the last part (the "s") i slaped a i because it sounds japanese to me and since s + i gives you "shi" i turned it into "し" so I got "だらし" so far and then i turned the hirigana into katakana so then "だらし" turned into "ダラシ" and thats how i went from "Dallas" to "ダラシ"
I'm japanese but I didn't notice that any chinese characters dosen't have ''CHE '' pronounciation! That's why you wrote big エ in katakana name. But it's definately natural to use small character ''エ'' in katakana name. Anyway, I was surprised to know how to translate foreign name into japanese characters. ためになったよぉ～(*'▽')
i think my favorite thing is how if you translate my name using the second pronunciation, the one i don't use, it's エービ which sounds like the japanese word for shrimp. this makes me wish my name was pronounced that way.
ブラリ is about the closest I can think of to getting the sound of my name in Japanese, but I swear every time I sit down to write my name I end up changing it uwu

I thought Asako would mean morning child... unless it's spelled using different Kanji? sorry if I am wrong, I only know what little can be learned from watching anime in Japanese with English subs.. and having taken(but not completed) the Rosetta stone Japanese course a while ago
@@SnowxXxAngel It does mean morning child, however, when I was born is was by a lake that was shallow and my parents wanted it to be more unique, so they changed the Kanji a bit. I'm really impressed with how much you know! Take this cookie as a trophy. :P 🍪
@@KodaBea0g I am intrigued! Can you show us how your name is written in Kanji? All I can think of is 『浅瀬/asa-se/shallow water』, which doesn't end with -ko.
Now I know how to write "Monika" from Doki Doki Literature Club in Japanese! 😄💗💚
Name: Esma Nur -> Esuma Nuru -> エスマ ヌル
Meaning: Light of names -> Namae no hikari -> 名前の光
Nathaniel = Nasanieru.

@Johannes Fernström Lmao
I'm from japan, but I learned a lot of things from this video
Its so easy to understand your explanation is so clear
My name is Achraf and it means "the noblest", so it's 一貴 in kanji.
Hello I guess we both have 2 Arabic name, can you help my name, it's "aws" could u help me please!
Edit: if u wanna know how to pronounce my name write "aouse" in the Google translate : it will give you the right pronounciation!, please help me I would be so thankful!
@@gglollipop407 People who are polite like you deserve being helped.
In Japanese it is アウス (Ausu). But I don't find this name's meaning so I cant do this with kanji can you tell me more ?
@@Jay_D_Ashe oh thank for ur kindness, well my name has a meaning in Arabic and it means wolf or the present if u search it up, plus it has a Greece meaning and it means the gift, aws name is an old Islamic. Thank you so much ♥.
@@gglollipop407 Ok I didn't find it that's why. If you want 狼贈 is an eventual kanji writing for your name, it has the kanji of the wolf and the one for the present.
If you wanna discuss, my Discord : Jay D. Ashe#7881. I'm open to any type of discussion.
@@Jay_D_Ashe omggg thank you so much, I'm sorry if I took ur time, but I really tried to find my name it was hard tho, but anyway thank you soo much for your help, I really appreciate it ♥. Plus we can be friends on discord if u want!
I understood the video, but I still dont know how to write my name 😅
If it's "Jimmy," then ジミー
Ohh thanks so much
Jimmy in Japanese is Shinichi, oh, I didn't realized my name means Jimmy in English tho... 😯
I think the same is happening with a number of people.
How would I write Khushi in Japanese
Well , I was looking for the translation of my name .... And Voila 👍
My favorite name uses only syllables on the sheet. Beautiful language.
Your way to write the Katakana is so satisfying 🔥
wdym by "your way"? thats the only way
My first name sounds so weird in Japanese-
Good thing I have a Japanese middle name to use instead lmao
@@rainysunday1229 it's Aozora/青空 which means blue sky
@@EdAozora and your first one?
@@elpino3473 my first name is Edrea
@@EdAozora That's such a beautiful middle name!
@@nikonikobbs thank you! My late aunt was kind of a weeb so she suggested that my parents name me that
Thanks Rachel
Damn...29 seconds in and my soul is absolutely crushed :(
I love how this guy writes
Name: Kamari
IN japanese: カマリ
i dont know where to get the katakana so i just translated my name and i was able to copy and paste it
I used a online translator and translated Ollie into japanese
Ollie= オリー
As someone who's name ends with "el", I think I'd rather drop the "l" sound and simply end with the "è" sound.
honestly translating names is fun because there aren't any real rules, you can really do whatever you want! this is a good example of that!
@@evie5375 No, you cannot do whatever you want in most cases. It can be hard to tell what to use for names, but there should be only one variation of that name. For example, アレックス and アレックスー are different. You have to use the first one.
@@runningoutof_ink oh, no i agree with that i just meant like, if you wanted to go by a slightly different name, speaking a second language is a good time to do so, like, if i wanted to use the second possible pronunciation of my name when translating it into japanese, that would be fine.
Thats something I think a lot about transliteration
@@runningoutof_ink Alex vs Alexu
Typed in “Davee” in google translate and put the Japanese girl the to say it and couldn’t stop laughing 💀
ダヴー (Davū) would be Davee
Sometimes you might see it as ダブー (dabū), but I’d still still use the first option
@@iusethisplatform my name is shah how does it sounds in japanese? i tried searched but i only found sha シャ(person)is it weird?😭
Me watching this: looks easy enough, I’ll write my name in Japanese
Me 2 minutes later: help I need an L how do I make an L
マリカ
You have to use 'RI' sound for LI
Yeah, Japanese doesn't have L's unfortunately. They use Rs usually.
I like ur pfp ,, lolol
I tried it in translate and compared and it actually worked in google translate🤯
Him: can you write your name in Japanese?
Me: Kimi no nawa
shouldn’t the エ in Rachel be small?
レイチェル
Yes. It should be. レイチェル (re, i, che, ru) vs レイチエル(re, i, chi, e, ru) also idk why he bothered with the caligraphy ... its fine messing around at home but I would be woefully embarrassed to show that kind of writing in public.
Luke Troftgruben Calligraphy is a form of art, but hardly anyone uses it for normal writing. It’s only for special events or holidays that they use it. And I do kind of agree the calligraphy is a bit too bulky.
@@kwyite I know Lucas. I was saying why bother with writing with a brush when it is so mediocre. Just stick with the sharpie it gets the point across without showing mediocre character writing.
@@luketroftgruben788 well this is a calligraphy channel, what did you expect?
@@danielmia5953 That I neglected to realize. I still stand by my opinion. His balance is off.
so my name would be カヒリ in katakana script, かひり super helpful video!
So i used it for my name (Dallas) and i got (ダラシ) "Darashi" i got it when split my name into four parts (da) (l) (la) (s) then i ditched the l and then i got to work, since the "a" part of da sounded like it should i turned "Da" into "だ" for the "la" part i used the same r to l rule and went from "La" to "Ra" to "ら". And for the last part (the "s") i slaped a i because it sounds japanese to me and since s + i gives you "shi" i turned it into "し"
so I got "だらし" so far and then i turned the hirigana into katakana so then "だらし" turned into "ダラシ" and thats how i went from "Dallas" to "ダラシ"
You should use ダラス (da ra su) instead. That's what's used for the city name.
Idk why I’m here when I am already almost fluent in Japanese, lmao
rlly?
Myawee yuppp
@@evemieko3790 u lucky u can watch anime without sub
T^T and here i cannot even translate my name
I am dead ass confused on how to write my name still because my name is Landon. I am only like, the equivalent of 2 days into Japanese so yea.
I'm japanese but I didn't notice that any chinese characters dosen't have ''CHE '' pronounciation! That's why you wrote big エ in katakana name. But it's definately natural to use small character ''エ'' in katakana name. Anyway, I was surprised to know how to translate foreign name into japanese characters. ためになったよぉ～(*'▽')
+chanba33 awesome!
How do you get Japanese charterers on your phone?
+FVO GMO thank you I had the same question
こんいちわわたしのにぽんじんい!!

My name is "Sandro", written 「サンドロ」 (Sandoro).
2:45 Thank you for using my name. It made my work easier🤣😂
😂😂
Good for you haha
I don't understand why so many people are saying this is hard?! I figured out my name easily!!
Sierra Mackenzie シエッラ マケーンジ
Because everyone has different levels of learning and comprehension, and some need help.
When your name is ten letters and four syllables, its not that easy :')
my name in Japanese is シリンナ
@@starikuu my name 9 letters all that matters is that it sounds close your english name
Me a very white Canadian with a Japanese name. My name is Rin Okumura if you're wondering
i think my favorite thing is how if you translate my name using the second pronunciation, the one i don't use, it's エービ which sounds like the japanese word for shrimp. this makes me wish my name was pronounced that way.
The エ(e) you need to put it more little See the diference: チェ(che) ,チエ(chie)
Did you watch the end of the video?
Esteban Martinez I don't understand very well English, so i watched all the video but is very possible i don't understanded some parts. Sorry
DAVID CASANUEVA LOPEZ your not the only one here
Esteban Martinez L
本田さくら(honda sakura)→Sakura Honda
I think the Japanese name is like this.
Thank god you translated Rachel... that's my name
レイチェル😊
I love the calligraphy though
ここのコメント欄めっちゃ好き

カイエン

Wow ! You couldn’t have said that any better I can write pretty much anything in Japanese katakana ‘ now thank you
ブラリ is about the closest I can think of to getting the sound of my name in Japanese, but I swear every time I sit down to write my name I end up changing it uwu
Brady would be ブレイディ/ ブレイディー.
ありがとう🙏🏼
