the state of considering oneself nihonjin, a person of the empire of the red sun, or the language, nihongo日本語, tongue and pen of the red lighted kingdom below.
Nihon, or, Nippon, is the Japanese word for japan and all its brought about chains of colonies and kingdoms descended from conquerors and immigrants dating back some millions of years, or thousands, according to western references descended from European book burners and historical thieves and counterfeiters, as the Japanese would say, for using their OWN historical archives, and storytellers. The idea that a million million authors like the ref., 'greek, Homer' would not be credited by Japanese people, is unheard of, or mocked or responded to violently and vehemently, by these said japanese historians and scholars.
"To speak Japanese, nihongo, one must forget the use of one set of dictionary definitions, and learn to read and listen in kanji ideals, likening to the fact that one word, in the course of others, beside it, can paint infinite definitions, for its use not alone, but often well associated with olde japanese poems and ideals."
"The Japanese people, nihonjin, have long believed themselves to be the really, really, really interesting counterparts to everybody else's idea of broken languages, for in theirs will repair yours, quite readily, and many and more japanese people believe this to be true, always, for their languages have existed for untold, by some, but existed for millenia uncounted for countless ages, outside any modern calendar"

1. The language I decided to study in college.

2. A fun language to learn.

It is made up of 3 alphabets. Hiragana, 46 symbols which each represent a different sound; Katakana, 46 different symbols which represent the exact same sounds as hiragana; and Kanji, thousands of symbols which represent entire words or ideas.

Japanese written using the english alphabet is called romaji.

Intelligent people who mind their own business and go about their business. Some people who still hold a grudge against the Americans for drastically bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki with an atomic bomb on separate occassions. Their diets are fish and rice. People who are not fat, except for sumo wrestlers. They don't even own a gun. They don't give people trouble.
Pedro: Those Japanese are intelligent. The Japanese don't give people trouble. They don't have time for crime. If a Japanese person looks at the merchandise or money while others don't look, they still don't steal, otherwise, they bring shame to their families. You can even walk the streets in the wee hours of the night in Japan and leave your door open. These Japanese people are intelligent. They go to school six days a week (not Sunday). They have 4 hours of homework each day. My friend is Japanese.
Andy: Really, those Japanese people know how to live their lives. No wonder the Japanese stay out of trouble.
Pedro: My Japanese friends often complains about why those American morons bombed Japan twice, when there was another way to end WWII.
