Japan is a country of opposites that coexist together: skyscrapers beating world records, traditional literature of a high sensitivity, legends about samurai hardness, unique flowers and staring celebration (Hanami) or two different religions living in harmony (80% of Japanese are Shinto and Buddhist simultaneously without religious dilemmas).

The Japanese alphabet has up of 3 alphabets actually using Chinese characters (Kanji) and two syllabic scripts, called

Katakana and Hiragana.

The verbs were in the past tense or non-past, not the person or number endings, no articles; nouns have the same shape and singular and plural predicate it is always at the end of the sentence. The case is indicated by various particles placed after the noun or pronoun.
