ォンドンカラデスカ

[Gogs]

Hi,

Could you tell me if this is right (I'm a noob )? I'm trying to say I come from London:

ォンドンカラデスカ

not 100% certain how to do London and I see it's missed the L. Should I also have a は in there after London? ie:

ォンドンはカラデスカ

あらがとう

Gogs

[richvh]

ロンドンからです is what you're looking for. ロンドンからですか is asking if you're from London.

Gogs, "l" in the IME is used for typing "little" kana.

l + a = ぁ (little あ)
l + t + s + u = っ (little つ)
etc.

あらがとう

It should be ありがとう.

...maybe he has one of those english accents that I hear so much about.

[Mr Hensha]

yeah, just type "r" for "l". Rondon.　がんばってね〜

Oh, and don't use katakana for writing it. Do you know the differences between the writing systems? Hiragana, Katakana?

[seiryuu]

Hiragana= original Japanese script
Katakana= script for borrowed words

Hiragana looks more curvy while katakana (the one you're using) is more straight.

[Yudan Taiteki]

What do you mean by "original Japanese script"? My impression was always that katakana came before hiragana although to some extent this depends on how you define "hiragana", and I don't think the dates are completely certain. But this is probably beyond the scope of this thread.

[seiryuu]

I guess you're right.

I should've said

Hiragana: Script for non-loan words
Katakana: Script for loan words.
