Japanese Alphabet.
 
I've seen Hiragana 'nd Katakana alphabet, but both only have like combinations of different characters..

So i wanted to ask, can anyone here please give me a link or post in a message something which contains:

a,b,c,d etc. apart ( so no combination) only in Japanese signs.

? :)

I don't think there is such a thing....

those "combinations" are just a translation to show you how that one symbol sounds

ThinasLWD 12-05-2008 09:28 PM

That misspells "Thomas"

It should be

トーマス

but like in some Japanese music video's, you sometimes see an English word, then a word that's spelled in all characters apart.

for example, Miliyah Kato - Sayonara Baby.

you see 'Sayonara' as the English word, then Baby spelled in 4 characters apart ?
