Explanation and Etymology - (仮名) kana
仮名 (kana) is a Japanese word that refers to a set of syllabic characters used in Japanese writing. The word is composed of two kanjis: 仮 (kari) which means "provisional" or "temporary" and 名 (na) which means "name" or "character". It is believed that the origin of the word Kana is related to the Chinese word "Jiana", which means "phonetic character." Kana characters were developed from the Chinese characters, but were simplified and adapted to the Japanese language. There are two types of Kana: Hiragana and Katakana. Hiragana is mainly used to write native Japanese words and grammatical particles, while Katakana is used to write foreign words and proper names. Kana characters are composed of curved and straight strokes, and each represents a syllable of the Japanese language. Japanese writing is a combination of Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana characters. Learning Kana characters is essential for reading and written in Japanese.How to Write in Japanese - (仮名) kana
