> Anata ha Nihongo wo hanashimasuka?
You should probably change this to something like 「日本語版はこちら」 (Japanese version here), and not write it in the Latin alphabet.
- wahnfrieden 14y agoIt's terrible Japanese too.
- chimeracoder 14y agoMy Japanese is really, really rusty, but isn't "anata" considered disrespectful? Also, I thought the accepted transliteration was "wa", not "ha", but don't quote me on that.
- w1ntermute 14y agoYes, it's best to avoid the use of "anata", which is why I removed it. Also, it's just phrased really poorly in general - it feels like a literal translation from English, which rarely works with Japanese. And it is indeed "wa", not "ha". It's often mistakenly written as "ha" because the hiragana used for the particle "wa" (は) is read as "ha" in other contexts. I would also say that it should be "o", not "wo", since it's pronounced "o".
