    Oh good some who really want to learn!!

    Saying "Hello" depends on who you are saying it to and time of day!
    Goodbye is simular as well.

    Hello
    Morning up to 11:00am -- Ohayo Gozaimasu or (Ohayo)
    Afternoon 12pm up to 4pm Konnichiwa
    Nighttime 4pm on ----- Konbanwa


    goodbye (many ways of saying this**) Going away for a very long time (many years) =Sayonara

    Short time -- Mata ne /Ja ne/ bai bai

    Kanji is difficult even for Japanese. Many many hours of study required to learn the 3000 or so essential kanji for reading news papers. I can't rememeber the exact figures that place people into the literate catagory. 2600-3000 Kanji? I think. I think the majority of Japanese population knows at least 2500 for everyday usage. I sometimes forget some Kanji too!

    Two tricks to remeber when Studying kanji if it is Jukugo (two or more kanji combined) the kanji more than likely will take the On-yomi pronounciation "adopted Chinese pronounciation"
    Kanji as presented as a verb will always take the Kun-yomi.

    Oscar "How are you" "Ogenki desu ka"/ Genki/ Genki kai (fem.)/ dou yatteimasu ka / Anata wa dou desu ka ....are ways of saying how are you/ how are you doing. Not as simple as one word .. Most common/ universal is Ogenki desu ka.

    Ja ne is a better bye bye! baibai is usually a girls version of bye!

    As for the swear words they don't make sense in Japanese.
    Fuck as it were many words for it in Japanese. Again depending on the situation the word changes. Sekkusu (Sex) Fakku (fuck) in the the slang to have sex. X o Yaritai I want to do X X= maybe a girlfriend of yours? Yaritai onna = "a fuckable girl" example sentence
    kanojo wa yaritai onna ne! = She is a fuckable girl isn't she! Very rude!! don't use!!

    Fuck off (USERO! Omae wa !) this is a common Japanese translation and frequrently used "fuck off" in Japan. quite useful!!

    Truth seeker I cannot get into the Hentai stuff.

    I think this will make sense to most people who are "human". Tell me what it reads and you'll have my everlasting gratitude. NO CHEATING!! ie) asking someone who is Japanese the meaning. [http://www.sciforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3333&stc=1]

    right on (NO) Look up by radical # the two Kanji conpounds ( actually are Jukugo) last kanji's radical is called (Kado-ben) By the way forget about those "crosses"

    Vslayer I still don't know ere you get hafuo from ? There is no way that two kanji can have kun-yomi (Japnese reading) when in a Jukugo formation (Kanji compression).
    Use a proper Kanwa-jiten (Japanese Kanji) dictonary to figure out this meaning!
    Keep trying. looking at these kanji by radicals are the only way you are going to figure the compression part out! I will give one hint, fist Kanji in the compression is (ri)

    It is a problem to try and pronounce the words in Japanese if you can't hear them as they are being told to you. Another problem is that you'll need to speak Japanese daily to really grasp the language at all. Without at least a few times a week speaking the language it is very hard to remember the words you have been taught.

    I will agree, with you comic. This is a "toutorial" for those who need help in grammtical issues. ie) Kanji, Jukugo, Katakana, Hiragana, particles, words...
