How would I write this in Kanji?
-
I know people ask "how do I write this in Kanji" a bunch of times, so I'm starting a thread. Because I want to know how to write something in Kanji.
How would I write "Bob's Wagyu Burgers" in Kanji? I'd accept "Bob's Wagyu Hamburgers" if hamburgers is a word but burgers isn't.

You can't: there's no kanji for 'burger' (or 'hamburger'). The best you can do is use katakana: バーガー (or ハンバーガー).

ボッブの和牛肉バーガー

also if this is the name of a store it might end with 店

Yes, because this is how you end up with "Fuck duck until exploded".

@Lorne-Kates said in How would I write this in Kanji?:
Hamburgers
ハンバーグ
That's a loan-word in Japan.
和牛 is, to my understanding, the kanji for "wagyu" as well. For "Bob", well, usually I see western names just left in romaji because that's how you spell Bob. You probably want の in a couple spots for possessiveness and relating the two nouns.

There you go, your term litterally IN Kanji (according to google translate)

I'm pretty sure both "Kuro" and "Flat rate" are written the same at this point.

Kanji is the character set used in the written language of the Han Chinese, which is also used in Japanese, Korean, and a number of other languages. You can't construct a sentence without specifying which language's vocabulary and grammer rules to use. You might as well ask how to write it in the Arabic alphabet
Also, to use a loanword instead of the perfectly cromulent "Chinese characters" is just sloppy writing

Almost, but not quite.
Kanji is derived from Traditional Chinese characters a.k.a. hanzi, but later underwent a simplification that was different to and not as extensive as the creation of Simplified Chinese. As for Korean, that has another variant called hanja, again a derivative, not an exact copy. Then again, hanja are rarely used for native Korean texts, which are far more likely to use hangul, which is an entirely different system altogether as it's morpho-syllabic, not ideographic.
Back to kanji: that's only one on three writing systems used in Japan, the others being hiragana (for native Japanese words with no kanji), and katakana (for loanwords). Both kana systems are very different to kanji, as they are syllabic, not ideographic.

Loanwords are used when there's no native word, and it's not limited to Japanese: all common languages have loanwords.

You're treating the different written forms of the same character as different characters.

I'm saying Kanji should be written as "Chinese characters" in English

No, I'm correcting your assertion that kanji, hanga, and hanzi are absolutely identical.

To which I pointed out that for some words, there's no kanji in the first place. How are you meant to use kanji that don't exist? Answer: you don't. You transliterate the word into katakana instead.

And if you're naming a store, you might even keep the name 'Bob' in English characters, to make it seem more fancy.
Yes, I know it doesn't work that way in English, but that's how Japan is.

@Magus Japan does have a love of using English words, even if the resulting sentences don't make sense:

kanji, hanja and hanzi are literally three different romanizations of the same 2 characters

Kanji, hanzi, and manja aren't Romanisations: that's romaji, romaja, and pinyin, respectively.

Well, it was a mute pond anyways, since I ran out of time. I was going to make aprons and embroider "Bob's Wagyu Burgers" for Heather and I to go with Molly's costume for Anime North:

@Lorne-Kates that middle image would make a good twitch emote if this were a twitch channel.
