DID YOU KNOW ABOUT TITLES AND HONORIFICS IN JAPANESE?

Imagen
In our country, honorifics such as doctor or graduate are titles that, depending on the occasion, are used with people who have achieved that merit. But if they are not used, it is not a serious problem. But in Japan it can be taken as an offense if they are not said. Also, honorifics are used at the end of the name and not at the beginning as in the West, remember this when you speak Japanese.

DID YOU KNOW THAT JAPANESE CAN BE WRITTEN HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY?

Although we are commonly shown that Japanese writing should be done vertically, it is correct to do it both ways (vertical and horizontal). Although originally it could only be done vertically, with time the language evolved and nowadays both ways are correct. But you must keep in mind that if a text is horizontal, the reading starts from left to right (as we normally do). But if the text is vertical, you should start reading from the top and from right to left.
