How to Type in Japanese
Lesson 11
How to Expand or shorten a phrase to convert
Since there is no space between words in a Japanese sentence,
IME often converts the phrase that is different from you mean.
きょ う い く
KYO U I KU
In the above case, for example, your IME converted KYOUIKU into 教育 (education) as one phrase,
but you want to type KYOU / IKU 今日／行く (I will go today) as two phrases.
You can tell your IME that KYOU is the phrase by [Shift] + [Left] or [Right] keys.
教育 今日行く
きょ う い く
KYO U I KU
1. Type K Y O U I K U きょういく
2. Space key   教育

4. [Shift] + [Left] きょういく
5. Space key 今日いく
6. [Right] 今日いく
