Hey Luis (paisano) Welcome! Right now we are three Mexicans here Dr Lalo, me and you lets keep it up so we can support each other ok.

About your name that’s what I would like to know too! Why don’t we both ask on the comments section together to see what happens?
My name is Sindy Rodriguez Cisneros nice to know you! S_R_C

It’s probably too late to reply, but your names are the following (If you don’t already have a Japanese language pack in your browser, you’ll need it to display the characters correctly):

ルイズ・レネ・ゴンザレスロペス　(Ruisu rene gonzarezu ropezu) - Luis

シンディ・ロドリゲス・シスネロス　(Shindi Rodorigesu shisunerosu) - Sindy

Non-Japanese names are written in katakana, a special set of characters for foreign words. Regardless of what your name is, it will essentially sound the same in Japanese, albeit with a bit of an accent. The main difference is how it’s written. Once you learn the basic Japanese syllables, it’s simple. Search online for “hiragana” (a set of characters like katakana, only for Japanese words) and “katakana”, and you’ll get some help. Here’s a site with both the character sets, plus a tutorial on how to write them correctly: http://members.aol.com/writejapan/index.htm

The link provided by Karl is a start, but it’s definitely not terribly accurate. Spend a couple of hours learning the kana yourself, and you’ll be much better off.

:???:wats my name in japanese

lisaさん、
you’re トマス　リサ　（tomasu risa）

nachoさん、
you’re ジェイク (jeiku)

marky

:???:

ah, thankyou Marky, and thanks for your time!

What about Tony?

I always get confused on which syllables need the extra ‘u’ to make them sound longer!

Konnichiwa Yume desu.. yoroshiku.

初めまして。私わ　ろりち　ばろん　です。
宜しく　お願い　します。

I think there is a printing error in the Kanji Closeup with this lesson. Next to the 願kanji is the practice marks for 山. Next to the kanji for 山is the practice marks for 口. For 山 it’s not such a big deal because that’s easy. However, 願 is a bit more complex.

how do u say my name in Japanese? its Ryan Bradford

Faldwinさん、the う (u) sound in japanese is very weak. even in the middle of words it is often barely said or dropped altogether. often to raise the politeness level “u” sounds that are normal dropped are clearly said. or when spelling things.

Ryanさん、we have a thread in the forum to explain names! there’s lots of other great stuff back there too!

edwin-san

I guess your name can be written in Japanese as エドウィン　デイビッド　マンデゥジャーノ　ガルシア. But I’m not sure how you pronounce “mandujano.”

bio-san,
If pronunciation of your name in English is similar to “Baiyo,” it would be バイヨ in Japanese.

Perfect spelling bio-san.

Hajimemashite!!!

Great lessons, I rrealy like it!

heey great fun lesson ..arigato guzaimas

Zomg! That was amazing, a very, very useful lesson. I love how practical these are!

My name is Alex Brown… Would that be: アレクス ブラウン? (Arekusu Buraun)… I don’t know! That’s my best attempt at figuring it out. =) Obviously it’d be reversed though in the introduction!

:D I love this site!

Thankyou Jessi! That’s great to know. I love that after just 2 lessons I can already use Japanese in my daily life!

konnichiha peter - san how do u say my name in japanese

einasia and markkai>
If you tell us how your names are pronounced, we can let you know what your name is in Japanese

my last name is stone

k thanks, my name sounds funny, so its pronouced like ma-ah-kai(does the i say i or e like?) and sue-ton for my last name?, and how i spell my japanese like name in hirgana?

so i can use hiragana to spell my japanses name, and katakana for my real name, and last name is last name its kinda said liek suit-on?

No problem!

Your name, even when written in Japanese, is always going to be in katakana. Your “Japanese name” is just your name said with a Japanese accent, basically

Markkai Stone ⇒ マーカイ・ストーン (pronounced “maakai suto-n”)

So you don’t need to use hiragana for your name at all. Only katakana. I hope that makes sense. Your last name is pronounced like “sue-tone”. It’s not that different from the English pronunciation, actually!

how do i say my name in japanese? its zehra sadique

Yes it’s pronounced zeh-rah sah-dik because the last two letters in Sadique is not pronounced, they are silent.
So I’m guessing sah-deek should be right if it’s being pronounced with an “I” rather than an “e”?

Zehraさん,

You typed your name using hiragana, and usually foreign names are written in katakana (what I typed above). So it’s not wrong, but katakana is usually used for foreign names.

If you are just starting out and are not sure what the difference is between them, this link might help:
http://www.genvid.com/diesgaudii/site/kana-kanji/index.html

why i got emails from new commets for zehra?

vhikariousさん,
Your name would be シャロン (sha-ron) in Japanese. In English, Sharon is usually pronounced like “share-un”, but in Japanese, it would be more like “shah-rohn”.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to ask how I would pronounce my name, since I’ve found / heard of several different ways, while searching online. My first name is “Jamie” and my last name is “O’Connor”… Also, my nickname is “Jae”.

Thanks so much in advance!

So my name is Jennifer Delgado. I’m guessing my name would be

Degado Jenifa = でがど じぇにふぁ

Is this right?

Arigato. I’m not very far into the writing so I appreciate it. I’m just starting to write Hiragana and today is my Third day of writing. I’m doing about 2-3 characters a day. So bear with me if I still don’t know how to read.

Joseph Millerさん,
Your name in Japanese would be:

ジョセフ・ミラー
Jo se fu Mi raa

Mahir Sakovićさん,

Is your name pronounced Ma-heer? If so, then it would be something like:

Ma hii a
マヒーア

Hope that helps

Mahirさん,
Thanks for that information! In that case, I believe the name I posted above still stands as correct:
Ma hii a
マヒーア

Hi,

My name is Jan. I am just learing Japanese. I am actually half Japanese but my mother never taught me the language and am trying to learn now that I am a grandmother lol. How do I say my name in Japanese?

Thank you,

Thank you, Jessi,

Would it sound like Jon? And if so, how would John be pronounced as my husband’s name is John.

Hello,

My name is Jordy and my last name is Schol could somebody help me translate it
Love the japenesepod101 it’s really helping me !
Keep up the good work!

Thank you
Jordy Schol

Janさん,
Yes, ジャン ends up sounding like how “Jon” is pronounced in English. In Japanese, Jon becomes ジョン (the vowel is more of an “oh” sound).

Jordyさん,
Your name would become ジョーディ・ショール (Jo-di Sho-ru)

Abyさん,
Good question! The “wa” in “watashi wa” is known as a particle that marks the topic of a sentence. It is pronounced “wa” but it is always written using hiragana “ha” （は）. Just something you have to remember

Nyree-san,

Welcome to JapanesePod101.com! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
Your name would be written as “Nairii” in romaji.

yahyaさん,

(:

Harmonieさん,
Your first name would be ハーモニー (Haamonii)

Frederik Andersenさん,
Foreign names are written using katakana, so your name would be:
フレドリック・アンダーソン (Furedorikku Andaason)

Emanさん,
Your first name would be エマン (Eman). If you let me know how your last name is pronounced, I can tell you that too

Hey there!

Tronさん,

I apologize as I should include the pronounciation of my name.

My name is pronounced: E Jessica Cast EE Oh.

I am sorry for not including it before. Thank you for your help. (I also submitted this on the msgboard as I was unsure where to ask.) Sorry.

Your name would be アレックス (Arekkusu)

I have heard that instead of,” Watashi wa, _____ desu.” you could use,” Watashi no namae wa___ desu.”

What are the major differences (informal vs. formal, etc.)?
Arigatou!!

Hunter-san
“Watashi wa— desu” is “I’m —.”
“Watashi no namae wa —desu” is “My name is—”.
There isn’t any difference in meaning(if your telling your name).
And both are formal expressions.

gernonymous-san
Your name would be ガブリエル(Gaburieru)

こんにちわ！Hi! These lessons are great! I’m wondering how I say my name in Japanese.
My name is Ivanisse (e-va-ne-s)

Thaddeusさん,
Your name would be:
タデウス・コールマン (Tadeusu Kooruman)

I hope this helps

Thaddeusさん,
It would be the first one (I wrote it as “koo” but just know that it is pronounced “koh”)
Koh-ru-man

Could you please help me with my name in Japanese?

Benedict, Keith

Domo arigato

Thank-you very much, once question if I may.

I understand that Kiisu is キース
and that Benedikuto is ベネディクト

When I introduce myself as in:

Watashi was Benedikuto kiisu desu.

It is last name first, first name last.

When the name is written in kana form is it also written this way normally? so the above would introduction would become:

私はベネディクトキースデス.

Please correct me on above, thank-you

arigatou gozaimasu

how to say my name in Japanese?

Thanks!

i just started and im living

Could I say Bahr-san? Or would I say Bahr Harumi? (Harumi isn’t my real name, it’s the Japanese name I want, literally meaning ’spring, beauty’) Do you pronounce it har-oo-mi? Or is it ha-roo-me? Something different from one of those?

I honestly didn’t get much Japanese from this, it just goes so fast. maybe if I try harder and go through more of them before my trial ends…:???: maybe….

I hope what I learned from karate sticks. :ninja: :heart: I

Hajimemashite! Watashi wa Aoi desu. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu! ^^

how do you spell my name in japanese the is davonte

davonte-san,
I think it would be ダボンテ　(dah-bon-teh - is that the right pronunciation in English?).

brenda-san
Your name in katakana is ブレンダ

My name is Heather Ingram(in the First name then Last name format) so what is that in Japanese? … I should insert a “Yoroshiku onegai shimasu” here right?

Hello, My name is Jean but in Japanese it’s Shian. I go by Silver because of my nickname. Thank you so much for making this website!

Hi Rei,

This series breaks things down and makes it very easy!

Please give it a try

Katarina-san,
Your name would be カタリーナ,Katariina or カテリーナ,Kateriina, depending on the pronunciation.
I hope this helps.

Hi Katy,
Your full name would be キャサリン・ジョンソン (Kyasarin Jonson), and Katy would be ケイティ (Keiti)

Soromon-san,
Welcome to JapanesePod101.com!
It is because wa written as は　is a particle which indicates that the noun it follows is the topic/subject of the sentence.
Otherwise we write wa as わ.

Avery-san
Your name is spelled as エイヴリー・ジョンソン.
As you said, your previous question is on Lesson3 of this series.

> Jehno Jorolan san,
I’m sorry; I’m not too sure how to read your name
I think your name in Japanese would be ジェノ・ジョロラン (read [Jeno Jororan]).

> o3o-san,
This lesson is all about the self-introduction, which is difficult to literally translate. I think you can just learn “how to say”, without breaking every single line down; it’s easier. If there’s ANY question, please feel free to ask us!!
You’re very young and started learning Japanese already! Great!!
We’ll support your study as much as we can. Good luck!

> Cindy Wood san
Your sentence is perfect!
And your surname Wood will be pronounced like “uddo”.
The pronunciation of W doesn’t really exist in Japanese (not the same pronunciation).
Enjoy “poking around”

Doumo arigato gozaimashita, Natsuko-san!

Another question: I’m a long-time student of karate, studying Japanese in anticipation of a training trip to Okinawa in about a year. Right now I have a very karate oriented vocabulary (lots of body parts, strikes and counting) and relatively few skills in grammar, since we use Japanese in the dojo only for technique names and commands, rather than conversation. Where would you suggest I start out of the amazing list of possible series?

The politeness levels make me a bit nervous. I don’t want to offend the head of our system in his own dojo!

Hello, I’m wondering how to pronounce my name in japanese ??
it’s Þorbjörn Atli Bergvinsson, I’m icelandic and I know this would be hard to translate to japanese ;s
Arigato gozaimasu

Yeah sure, it’s pronounced Thorbjorn Atli Bergvinsson (the ‘Þ’ is like ‘th’ in english) if that isn’t what you meant then I don’t know what you mean

hi! I’ve recently started with this program and i must say i like it so far. I’ve wanted to learn japanese for quite a while now and I’m glad to see a great site like this. Anyway…I think I’ve found my Japanese name, except for my last name…probably because it is a bit weird. I would like some help to gauge the accuracy of what I’ve found and with finding something for my last name.

My first name is Richard which i think translates to Richaado.
My middle name is Steve / Sutiivu.
My last name is Sprague (the ~ue is silent…I dont know if that matters or not)

any help is greatly appreciated, and if possible, could you help to break the first 2 japanese names down into the specific syllables?

thanks in advance

Hello! Thanks for the lessons, it’s been very helpfull in my japanese study, but I was wondering about something.
My name is Marcos Soares, which can be written マルコス・ソアレス, but most people call me Coscos, and I don’t really know how to write that in japanese. I tought about コスコ, but that’s just Cosco, with the last S missing. Could you please help me out?
Thanks!

I love how practical these are. I’m also quite fond of the fact that the quizes build on each other, so that you have to remember information from other lessons as well. It’s very helpful, I was sort of afraid that each lesson would be disjointed and it would make it more difficult. But nope. ^_^

I am vaguely curious what my name in Japanese would be, it’s “Skye Rathke” and I have no idea how to go about translating it.

Skye-san,
Thank you for your comment!
We’re glad to hear that.
Your name is spelled スカイ・ラトケ　or ラートケ depending on the pronunciation of “Ra.”
I hope this helps.

Marcosさん
I see Google sometime or often gives us funny translation so that we need to be check out how we can trust him.
Also translating doesn’t always follow the typical rules.
コスコスさん、ではまた！

sorry i am not shure

I have a question.
Ok, so my name is very very German. Klara is my first name
Hungrige (yes….it does mean “hungry” XDD ) is my last name.

My first name (directly translated) is クララ or Kurara.

Because I don’t really have any Japanese friends, I have to ask.
How funny does this sound?

For Chinese (learning it right now), you can’t really directly translate your name. Chinese names have meaning behind them, so most of the time you must get a Chinese name.

I know that it’s not exactly the same in Japanese, but my name could still sound funny when directly translated. Help please

Klara-san,
In Japanese we just write foreign names just by sounds in Katakana.
Your name would be クララ・フンリゲ(Kurara Funrige) but I’m not sure how you pronounce “Hungrige.”
If the romanization doesn’t suits thre correct sound, please let us know.

Brandon-san Kon’nichiwa.
Of course!
Your name is spelled out as ブランドン･ミッチェル(Burandon Mitcheru).
If ‘don’ as in Brandon is pronounced more like ‘a’ than ‘o,’ you can also use ブランダン(Burandan). This is up to you.
I hope this helps.

Cierra-san,
Yes, you’re right.
There’s actually no transliteration for “yoroshiku onegai shimasu”.
So, we usually explain that “yoroshiku onegai shimasu” means “please be kind to me” or “pleased to meet you”; it really depends on people how to translate it.
Because this expression is VERY Japanese, there’s no way to say exactly the same thing in Enlgish. It’s the expression when you ask a favour to someone, and the reason we say this at self-introduction is because we’re asking “please be kind to me” type of thing.
Does this help? Hope so!

Ohayou, Max-san.

Yes, that’s one thing that confused me as well. But I found out recently that when the WA is used as a particle, it’s written like that. I’ve seen it in almost all Japanese sentences. So yes, the WA in “Watashi wa” is written like that.

>Natsuko-san

I am Raymond Whitaker, I’m excited that I have found this site and I was curious is there another way you can tell me how to get my name in japanese because I tried one of the links you put in the comments and the site said it is unavailable.

> Daniel-san,
Your name in Japanese would be ダニエル・ネメス [da ni e ru ne me su], but if your
surname Nemeth is pronounced with long “ne” sound at the beginning, it’d be
ネーメス [nee me su] (this ー shows the previous sound should be prolonged).

> Raymond Whitaker san,
we’re very sorry for the problem you had!
Your name should be レイモンド・ウィテカー [re i mo n do wi te kaa]; does this
sound right to you? If not, please let us know how your name should sound like,
and we can tell you better!

> Kurisuti-san,
hajimemashite! Watashi wa Natsuko desu. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
Yes, your name in Japanese is spelled correctly!
If you want to know in Katakana, it’s クリスティー or クリスティ (the first one
is with long sound at the end, like “kurisutii” and the latter is short
“ti” sound “kurisuti”). Usually it’s クリスティー with long “tii” at the end
