Can anybody give me information on the 3 kanji on my signature?
Please tell me what each one means and the possible ways to read each one. Then please tell me if they mean anything together. Thank you.

I tried looking up by radical and didn't come up with anything, but I may have screwed up. Is it possible it's Chinese or archaic? Where did it come from?

I found it on a website that said it was a name. Supposedly its "dario".

Right-o. I think it's Chinese. There are some websites that give Chinese readings for Western names. It looks like this comes from there. I believe the first character is "Da" in Chinese.

the last word really isn't a word, it's just a sound... "OH" (like you're surprised) in chinese at least.

:shamefulcry: The website I got it from said it was Japanese
Guess I will just have to write my name in katakana

Well, I could be wrong. What was the site?

I dont remember the site unfortunately. But it was a site that had lots of legal Japanese names for foreigners, such that they can use for documents and stuff.

Hmmm. Yeah, I would have thought it best to use Katakana for filling out your name on a form in Japan. The problem with Kanji is that they have multiple readings ... even Japanese people sometimes have a hard time reading other Japanese names. So to be unambiguous, you'd use Katakana.

I checked out a few "How to write my name in Kanji" sites, and they all seem to be quite the rip-off, charging money for something that you can get out of a Kanji dictionary. They basically take your name phonetically, and choose some Kanji that could be read that way. If you do it yourself, you get to choose the Kanji with the meanings that you like the most.

what are furimukeba and kizuna means?

amran wrote:what are furimukeba and kizuna means?

kizuna means "bond", as in emotional bond, or such.
I believe furimukeba is the plain conditional form of the verb furimukeru: "to turn"

(BTW, there's a nice song by dt. called "Kizuna" that's sung as a duet.)

Your query is in the wrong thread. It should go in Lyric Translation thread.
(As for me, I don't do lyrics).

Please keep this topic for learning Japanese.
