Ka

December 11th 2007 07:10
Ka is a Japanese Kana. It can be written in Hiragana or Katakana.

Hiragana - か

Katakana - カ

A good way to remember this both of these is thinking of a Katana (A Japanese sword). The long like is a man bending over. The long stroke is his Katana.

Ka is also added to the ends of sentences to turn them into questions. For example;

あなた は スピン 先生 (せんせい です.

Anata wa Supin Sensei Desu.
You are Dr Spin.
あなた は スピン 先生 (せんせい です.か.
Anata wa Supin Sensei Desu Ka?

Are you Dr Spin?


There is more on that role of ‘ka’ HERE.
