Reading: Otsu, Oto~(not sure if the second reading is correct)

Meaning: Second, Young (not sure of corectness)

From now on I think I'm just going to give the reading I find in my japanese dictionary, and skip what they actually mean in english, unless I know already what it means. I'm really just learning these characters so I'll beable to write the Japanese words I learn corectly in Japanese. The Japanese infact have 3 diffrent "alphabets".

Katakana is used for foreign (non-japanese) words and names.
Hiragan is used for some Japanese words, and is most often used along side the Kanji. Unlike Kanji, the Hiragana and Katakana characters represent sounds, rather than full words. There are about 38 didfferent charcters in each, which can be altered by combing them, or adding another symbol, such as " (tick marks)or a small circle.

If anyone is interested in learning either Katakana, or Hiragana, I can help, just let me know.
