[quote=YamiCuoreLaroux] Okay, then. Katakana: One of the two Kana groups in the written Japanese language, the other being Hiragana. While Hiragana is used more for grammar elements and pronunciation purposes, Katakana is used for loan words from other languages. Also, while Hiragana tends to flow more in shape, Katakana characters tend to have a more angular appearance for the most part. (Then we have one's like Katakana's 'sa' and Hiragana's 'se,' which are seriously just reversed directions of the same shapes.) Both of these types of characters may often be seen alongside Kanji in a typical written sentence of the Japanese language. Ah! Timed testing is the worst! I can't deal with them either.
