My good friend would write the wierd Japanglish that he would encounter as he experienced Japan for the first time. Have a look at this phone card. It is a typical way the Japanese put English into use.
It says,
"Odori avenue shows us various
face, So many of young couples
can talk with here.
A shot of Ohori park."
The 5 pure vowels
a, i ,u, e, o
In Japanese these 5 vowels a i u e and o respectively. The vowels correspond to the 5 Japanese verb bases. The verb
