JJ
JJ is the Japanese way to represent the initials of a person's name.
Did you know?
- Because Japanese names are traditionally written Surname first, the order of initials in JJ may be reversed compared to how a Westerner would order them for the same person.
- When writing initials like JJ in formal documents, Japanese people may use a middle dot called a 'chūten' (・) between the letters to clearly separate them as distinct units.
- Because Japanese is often written vertically, an initialism like ＪＪ must be rotated 90 degrees or written in a way that doesn't break the flow of the vertical line.
Examples in context
- ジョン・ジャクソンさんJohn Jackson-san
- 彼のイニシャルは JJ です。Kare no inishiaru wa JJ desu.His initials are JJ.
- JJ というイニシャルは珍しいですね。JJ to iu inishiaru wa mezurashii desu ne.The initials JJ are rare, aren't they?
- サインの横に JJ と書いてあります。Sain no yoko ni JJ to kaite arimasu.JJ is written next to the signature.
