Guy's i can't find anything on the site ........

i'm looking for the japaness charaters for

'Toyota', 'Celica' and 'GT four'......

i don't know if they exist or not as the words are
'brand names' and therefore many not have a
japaness translation.......

but thanks for any info any of you guys might have smile.gif

yea, the english words are translated into english directly from the way you say them in Japanese using Katakana.

this is also toyota:
豊田
i don't think you can see it very well but this is the version used for a name, person's name. When we refer to the automobile, it is usually
トヨタ
but the other one can be used also. Hope this helps

you are right in that japanese (not japaness wink.gif ) kanji for "toyota" would refer to the name, since the word isn't otherwise a noun. however, guess who the company is named for...that's right--the toyoda family. since, in kanji, ta and da both signify the rice field character, we use the kanji set indicated above.

the 天 character is "ten" or heaven; this typically would not be used. the funny thing is, if you want to be more "japanese", then you'd simply keep all your badging english because that's what the japanese do!

yeah, i'm half japanese, although i'm by no means fluent--i've got the conversational skills of a slow middle schooler and know about as many characters as a japanese 4th-grader--maybe even less. not so hot, but then again, those crazy japanese kids are pretty bright (mandatory 2nd language education in primary school and all that)

in any case, i know enough to get by and hopefully enough to help out some people here; finished jpn301 at the university of hawaii, which has a pretty rigorous east asian languages program (as one would imagine), but i've kinda forgotten a lot of it -_-;

聖人 seijin is the equivalent of "saint" or "sage" and, literally, means "holy man"
尊師 sonshi means "holy master" or "guru" in case you want to upgrade yourself tongue.gif

don't know what people who understand would think if they saw somebody driving around with this plastered on his car, but that's about as close as i can come up with.

peace

god? that's easy--kamisama...naturally, however, this doesn't really refer to the christian god but rather to a higher being...these days, it's used almost interchangeably, though

anyway, the kanji looks something like this
user posted image, but any decent vinyl cutter should probably have a binder full of designs, and one of them is probably this one. if not, a good option is to download the global ime input (or anything off microsoft's website that allows you to do japanese text input in word), type in 'kamisama', make sure that it's the correct pair of kanji, print it out and take it to a vinyl cutter. he can then scan it, clean it up using adobe streamline or something, and then cut you a sticker.

that is, of course, if what you're going after is a sticker. if not, well, at least you have a general idea of what it looks like smile.gif

peace

shige,

kochira koso tongue.gif

looking at your profile, i see that you're in illinois? how'd you end up there, of all places?? prolly not many native speakers up there. and it's nice to see that i wasn't grossly off, or else you would've corrected me, hehe.

peace
