AboutDreams Expertise I have been teaching myself the language for the past seven years, having consistent practice with Japanese materials. I can help translate things from English to Japanese or vice versa. I can also help you get started if you're planning on taking up the language. =) I'm most familiar with things like anime, manga, J-pop, games and so on.
Experience I began learning the language in 1999. I frequently talk with penpals and natives in Japan, as well as continually keep up practicing with authentic Japanese materials.
Question What might the surnames Asada, Echi, Ochi, Taketou and Yanagita mean? Just wondering, thanks.
Answer Hello,
Using the specific spellings you requested, I came up with these name readings by finding the kanji through this dictionary: http://www.gokanji.com/cgi-bin/j-e/dict. The names could have any of these readings; without already having the kanji it is impossible to know. Some names come together nicely, others more or less are just a combination of kanji (like the use of 田 "rice paddy" at the end of names). You will also notice that many kanji can have the same meanings.
