Talk:Particles (Japanese) (view source)
Revision as of 11:47, December 8, 2008
, 11:47, December 8, 2008What is hiragana used for - as opposed to kanji?
* Participles are always written in hiragana.
This wouldn't be true for a telegram written all in katakana. Ha ha, just being technical.
I think what you really meant is that kanji is never used for particles. This actually leads to a more general point: that there are some ideas which cannot be expressed with kanji alone. For example, the tense of verbs is expressed with kanji: like (write) + shimash'ta => written. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 06:47, 8 December 2008 (EST)
