Learn Japanese Words: page 29

Let's learn three Japanese words

One or some Japanese words accompany each English word.
They are used most in Japan.
Because Japanese is a language with three scripts (hiragana, katakana, and kanji), the form is various.

*Choice of script type in Japanese writing: The scripts used most are in the illustration.

1. a sweets, Japanese snacks

a sweets, Japanese snacks
Kanji	菓子(kashi)
Kanji & Hiragana	お菓子(okashi)
Hiragana	かし(kashi)/おかし(okashi)
Katakana	カシ(kashi)/オカシ(okashi)
Example	Would you like some chocolate[cookie, pie, tart, candy] ? お菓子はいかがですか？ okashi wa ikaka desuka?
Annotation	Kashi or okashi is the generic name of "a sweet snack for snacks and a salty snack". Therefore, the candy, the chocolate, the cookie, the pie, and the tart, etc. are included in "Kashi or okashi".
Annotation	a box of cake; a box of candy: 菓子折り(kashi-ori)
Kanji homophone	樫(kashi): an oak (tree)
	下肢(kashi): the lower limbs; the legs
	可視(kashi): visibility
	華氏(kashi): fahrenheit
	歌詞(kashi): words, the woeds to a song,
	仮死(kashi): be in (a state of) suspended animation.

お菓子(okashi): Japanese snacks

2. a dish (a main dish, a side dish)

a dish (a main dish, a side dish)
Kanji	御数 (This kanji is an etymology, and it is not used.)
Kanji & Hiragana	----------
Hiragana	おかず
Katakana	オカズ
Pronunciation	okazu
Annotation	Okazu is a Japanese word meaning a side dish to accompany rice. They are typically made from fish, meat, vegetable, or tofu and designed to add flavor to the rice. In modern Japanese cuisine, Okazu can accompany noodles in place of rice. Okazu is also used as a referent for something used for masturbation or other acts of sexual gratification aside from sexual intercourse. While this is usually a reference to actual pornography, it can refer to anything used for masturbation purposes. It is also a slang term for lesbian sex. This secondary meaning has currency as a loanword in other languages among fervent manga fans, or OTAKU.

3. money

money
Kanji	金(kane)
Kanji & Hiragana	お金(okane)
Hiragana	おかね(okane)/かね(kane)

List of Japanese Noun Words

In this page, I used the image of this book.

Namae no Kotoba Ejiten (なまえのことばえじてん）
	なまえのことばえじてん [namae no kotoba e-jiten] 1000 Japanese nouns were collected to this book. This book is for the infant. However, I think that this book is a very good teaching material for your studying Japanese. It is because "The fundamental noun which Japanese people use daily" is collected to this book. And, you will be able to learn a Japanese noun easily by the noun and the illustration in English. *You can buy this book in Japanese Amazon. (It is not sold outside Japan.)
