The modern Japanese writing system comprises three scripts, Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana. Each script has its particular purpose and is used alongside each other in everyday writing. For example Kanji is typically used to write nouns and names, Hiragana is used to write inflectional endings for adjectives and verbs and Katakana is used to write foreign words and names. Overall the Japanese mainly use the hiragana or the kanji system. The choice of which of these two systems to use depends on a number of factors, including standard conventions, readability, and stylistic choices.
