You haven't made any mistakes. I think that the ha/wa thing is due to the different systems of romanization, with the former being part of Kunrei and the latter being Hepburn. I'm not 100% sure about that, though.

Actually you are not correct. wa/ha is unrelated to romaji.
The sound "wa" in Japanese is written using the hiragana character "わ". However, when the sound "wa" is written as a particle, it use the hiragana character "は" In the greeting "こんにちは" (konnichiwa), the "wa" sound is in its particle form. Particle "wa" is hard for me to explain because it doesn't have equivalent in English. It is used to mark topic of the sentence. Simple example: 私は日本人です。 Watashi wa nihonjin desu. (I am Japanese). You can see that the "wa" is written as "は" because it is a particle making me as the topic of the sentence. |

Thanks! I still have much to improve with my English. Actually this is a main reason for using this forum. It is nice to talk English with people who are interested in Japanese culture.

yeah see.. um.. it's like this...i'm.. you're... it has to do with leverage you see...
... let it be noted that if this wasn't a forum but real life, I would be running away from you people right about now, leaving you dazed and confused as to what I meant, thus taking your minds off my relationship with 12 year olds and my own apparent low age. |
