But usually I just look at the pictures instead of reading the words because I can't read hiragana and katakana.
but now I start reading the word and try to guess some of the meaning. It's quite interesting because I found out that in the fashion magazine, they us a lot of katakana.
for examples:
ワンピ＝ ONE PIECE
Lots of people even they are not Japanese, they will still buy these kind of Japanese fashion magazines to read. It’s because we want to follow the fashion of Japan.
They use katakana, its easy for me to read and understand.
I think it's because one piece this word is come from English. And also, Japan loves the fashion in the UK.
The others example, カーデガ＝ Cardigan
In this picture, they use 漢字 to emphasis the word (popular). It's more clear and understand easily to the people who doesn't know Japanese.
wow helen^^ eventually see ur post.
回覆刪除** カーデ = cardigan
It is very interesting to hear that many people in Hong Kong buy non-no without understanding Japanese!!! But, it makes sense since the fashion magazine contains a lot of pictures!!
