Haikus follow the syllabic pattern of 5/7/5.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

ハンサム- handsome&lt;br /&gt;
I decided to feature&amp;nbsp;ハンサム as the key Katakana because it is a loan word from the English word &quot;handsome&quot;. This haiku is one that is inspired by spontaneous daily occurrences.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #e5f2d8; color: #6aa84f; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;--------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;

I decided to feature&amp;nbsp;バラバラー as the key Katakana word because it is a sound word which describes the sound that heavy rain makes.&lt;br /&gt;
**&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;ふうう- windy rainstorm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #e5f2d8; color: #6aa84f; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Katakana as loan words are pronounced similarly to the foreign words themselves in the native language. Often, many English words, such as spoon, knife, and tennis, are translated in Japanese as Katakana words because they are conceptually foreign to the traditional Japanese culture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;For my Katakana analysis,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;I observed four Japanese anti-smoking signs, which are quite hilarious. Here are some of the Katakana words that I have found:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://f00.inventorspot.com/images/manners22.gif&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;http://f00.inventorspot.com/images/manners22.gif&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3; font-size: large; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;My first example is the word&amp;nbsp;ランナー which means runner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ランナー is a foreign loan word from the English word &quot;runner&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;There is such a word in non-Katakana format for &quot;to run&quot; in Japanese.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is actually two words for &quot;runner&quot; in Japanese, depending on the context of&amp;nbsp;usage. When one participates in the act of running in Western sports, such as baseball, the runner is called&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ランナー. However, when one participates in more traditionally recognized forms of running, such as marathons, the runner is called そうしゃ. So the usage of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ランナー may actually depend on the nature of the sporting event in which the act of running is occurring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The non-Katakana part of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ポイ捨て is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;捨て which means to discard. The Katakana part of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ポイ捨て is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ポイwhich can denote the sound that is made by the act of flicking away litter. In this instance,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ポイ serves the purpose of a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;onomatopoeic Katakana. In generally,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ポイ捨てdiffers from&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;捨て in that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ポイ捨て is a word that has a negative connotation because of its association with litter and cigarette butts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;In Japan, the act of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ポイ捨て is becoming a serious problem.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;Most likely, it is used in this ad because it perfectly captures the act of carelessly flicking cigarette butts into the street.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;In this ad, the sound of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ポイ is very consistent with the theme of Western movies because it combines the literal meaning of discard with an onomatopoeia which enhances the word&#39;s conversational effect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Overall, Katakana phrases are used selectively in Japanese natural dialect to convey the context and background of the usage. In addition, they can also be used to enhance its literary effects to effectively convey the overall meaning of the entire message.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Here are some of the Katakana words that I have found:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://f00.inventorspot.com/images/manners22.gif&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;227&quot; src=&quot;http://f00.inventorspot.com/images/manners22.gif&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;ランナー: runner&lt;br /&gt;
I think ランナー is a foreign word because the concept of a runner is fairly Western. There is a verb for &quot;to run&quot; in Japanese composed of Hiragana and Kanji which is 実行して. However, a run as a noun is ラン which is written in Katakana Japanese. Since a runner is a person that engages in a run, then a runner must be called a ランナー　for that reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

ポイ捨て: to carelessly toss away (esp. cigarettes) &lt;br /&gt;
ポイ捨て is a combination of a Japanese word and a katakana word. The Japanese part of ポイ捨てis 捨てwhich is written as すて in hiragana。The ポイ part of ポイ捨てis actually a phrase for the juggling. In Japan,&amp;nbsp;ポイis a somewhat popular activity. In&amp;nbsp;ポイ, participants are usually tossing their objects in a manner that is seems very careless and uninhibited. In that respect,&amp;nbsp;ポイof&amp;nbsp;ポイ捨て might connotate the state of being careless and uninhibited.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://angelasjapaneseblog.blogspot.com/feeds/7036181950519250532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://angelasjapaneseblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/katakana-analysis-draft.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079698040464048535/posts/default/7036181950519250532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079698040464048535/posts/default/7036181950519250532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://angelasjapaneseblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/katakana-analysis-draft.html' title='Katakana Analysis Draft'/><author><name>Angela N.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09357527050027943199</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0V65thtfWlWAFGwaKeNzd1rwgxb4yXSuULfoh7VEWQt0czPV1ejjNNGvJlWHkDogTgQ3OLiJdJri7eIX1GqSHS1TQ5BpDZG8JXbFY921xuPEMfloPeBFYjSREzWyZ7XH-WdCTxNlqi9s/s72-c/anti-smkoking+adsim_grapic28.gif" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079698040464048535.post-2924693758148579108</id><published>2011-11-02T13:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-02T21:57:52.805-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Something very funny that I found...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

My name is Angela and I am a sophomore at Barnard College of Columbia University. I am learning Japanese because I really enjoy Japanese culture and cuisine. Particularly, I have always enjoyed Japanese literature (albeit translated). I would like to read the Japanese version of &lt;i&gt;Tales of Genji &lt;/i&gt;one day when I am more fluent in Japanese.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first two weeks of class, I found the memorization of hiragana characters to be intimidating. Although these characters look somewhat familiar to me, at a closer look, I found that each character had its own nuance and required special attention to identify one from another. Overall, I am very excited to begin my blog and my adventure in Japanese.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://angelasjapaneseblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3796966941427478045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://angelasjapaneseblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/self-introduction_14.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079698040464048535/posts/default/3796966941427478045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079698040464048535/posts/default/3796966941427478045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://angelasjapaneseblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/self-introduction_14.html' title='Self-Introduction'/><author><name>Angela N.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09357527050027943199</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079698040464048535.post-1817608951795518926</id><published>2011-09-14T11:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-14T11:02:24.620-07:00</updated><title type='text'>自己紹介</title><content type='html'>こにちわ。はじめまして。わたしわAngelaです。わたしわにねんせいです。わたしわこるびや（Columbia）だいがくのがくせいです。ワたしわじゅきゅさい。ちゅごくからきましたしたしあめりかじんです。&lt;br /&gt;
