John-San Translation? - 03-30-2011, 02:59 AM

If i wanted to type John-San in Japanese, how would it look like? If i were to use a Japanese Keyboard and wanted to type it. How would it come out?

Thank You =P

It would come out as ジョンさん.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.

To be anal, you do not type "John" as such but need to change it to the phonetic equivalent of J-O-N or J-Y-O-N to get ジョン.

"zyon" also works


You should move to Japanologic. JF has way too much spam, and the admin doesn't seem to care.
