Remark: some typing mistakes of this writing project have been corrected
No doubt, a good analysis of Katakana, GJ!
回覆刪除And would you please help me: why Katakana can be used to transcribe animals and plants instead of Hiragana? It's my first time to see this kind of function, I don't know how to distinguish the usage between them... @n@
Thanks!
P.S. typing in Japanese, I do be stressed...
ガブ飲み！＜＜＜ウケル～
回覆刪除It's good to learn japanese by reading comics!
However I am not that determined to read books! I prefer magazine instead^^
good luck.

回覆刪除Reading Japanese novels is too difficult for me T_T
I also prefer to read comic and magazine XD
がぶ‐のみ【がぶ飲み】
［名］(スル)水・酒などを、たくさん、たて続けに飲むこと。「ウイスキーを―する」
(source: goo辞書)
I miss this word w"
がぶ is written in katakana in the comic
because of emphasis of たくさん、たて続けに (gulp)
>Anna
回覆刪除It is a good question www
With reference to my dictionary
we can use katakana to write
常用漢字表の範囲内で書けない動物や植物の名前
(The reason is the grammar...)
In addition
although ウサギ have the kanji 兎
but 兎 is belong to a class of kanji that are seldom used
However, I found that Japanese also use hinagana to write names of animals and plants
(as well as onomatopoeic words)
The reason is that using hinagana may be more convenient
Besides, the particles (such as を、へ、は) must written in hinagana
Obviously, they can also written in katakana for some specific purpose...
To conclude
may be the usage and grammar of Japanese is a bit different XD
you really done a great job!!~
回覆刪除Although I have done the same project, compare with you I did not have that much information!~ It is curious that make me would like to ask why do you know that much?=]
I found those information from book and the Internet (as well as my past experience XD)
回覆刪除これはいい研究です、グッドジョッブ！
回覆刪除ところで、君は日本の漫画とアニメが好きですか？私もそうです！！^^
