kanji for "Genki desu, okage sama de"
 
Hi I am learning Japanese. Everything I learn I write down fonetically (i.e. as it sounds to me), in 'correct' Japanese, in Dutch (my own language) and in kanji.

I am having trouble finding a correct kanji translation on the internet for "okage sama de" as part of the sentence "Genki desu, okage sama de"

i got this far:
元気 です, ______

anybody that can fill in the blank?

Kind regards.

You can just write it all in hiragana.

If you absolutely want the kanji, it's one of the following:

お陰さまで (おかげさまで) (exp) (I'm fine) thank you;
お陰様で (おかげさまで) (exp) (I'm fine) thank you;

That would be:

お陰様で

thanks for the replies. I went to quickly in asuming i am writing kanji. I am using about.com for the symbols. Can't find what they use. Can anybody tell me what i am using by reading the translations below? (is it kanji, hiragana, ..)

ohayou gozaimasu おはよう ございます
ikaga desu ka いかが です か
Konichiwa こんにちは
Sayonara さよなら

kind regards, and again, thanks for the quick replies

Those four phrases are in hiragana, and 99% of the times they are written only in hiragana.

thanks. i know where i got confused. I looked up hiragana on wikipedia.org. There it said that it is hiragana and katakana are both kana systems. Later i saw kanji on a google search result. Which made me think i missspelled kana.

So, hiragana it is.
I now see on wikipedia that katakana, hiragana, kanji and some others are all part of the japanese language. I will have to read up on that some more soon.

ohyeah, what is "okage sama de" in hiragana?

Nagoyankee 03-09-2008 05:59 PM

That would be:

おかげさまで

digyourownhole 03-09-2008 06:20 PM

damn, sorry people, i need to be more clear the first time.

what are, and thanks for this, the individual words okage, sama, de in: おかげさまで

much appriciated. And i will make sure i am more clear the first time, else this is going to be a long thread.
