Comment by arashina on 04/11/2013 at 7:52 pmArt is 美術 (bijutsu) and photography is 写真術 (shashinjutsu) (◕ω◕)♪
Comment by PuniPuni on 04/12/2013 at 10:10 amぷにぷにさん、きんにちは！ What is the word for design technology, food technology, resistant materials (using wood, plastic, etc.), and graphics in Japanese?
In my school, design technology (as a subject) is split into the 3 subjects above.
ありがとうございます！
Comment by Byakko on 05/12/2013 at 2:48 pmこんにちは！\(◕ω◕)/♪
I’ve never heard of some of these subjects, and I think we don’t have all of these subjects in Japan. I would write in katakana like this, but it is just my guess: デザインテクノロジー (design technology), フードテクノロジー (food technology), レジスタントマテリアルズ (resistant materials), グラフィックス (graphics)
Comment by PuniPuni on 05/13/2013 at 10:57 amKonnichi ha! How would you say something like RS (Religious Studies) / Theology then?
Comment by Jennie on 08/16/2013 at 9:19 amReligious studies in Japanese is: 宗教学 (shuukyougaku) \(◕ω◕)/♪
Comment by PuniPuni on 08/27/2013 at 8:06 amOMGSH, WHY IS THIS SITE BLOCKED IN MY SCHOOL!?!?!?!?! IT’S AMAZING!!!!
Ok, to my question. How would you say bio-technology in Japanese?
Comment by taichidesu on 09/07/2013 at 5:33 pmBio-technology in Japanese is: 生物工学 (seibutsu kougaku). But you can also just say bio technology using katakana: バイオテクノロジー (baio tekunorojii). (◕ω◕)☆
Comment by PuniPuni on 09/07/2013 at 9:25 pmThanks! ^-^ This website is a great help!!! >.<
Comment by KawaiiOnToast on 11/20/2013 at 9:12 pmHow would I write “Study Hall” or “Study Period” in Hiragana/kanji?
Comment by Kitsune Mangaka on 01/06/2015 at 5:49 pmThere is a 自習 (じしゅう) which means “self study”. This is used in schools for example when students have a study period instead of a normal class.
