I've seen a lot of Japanese words written in Kata. I was a bit confused at first too, but my sensei says it's in kata for ease of understand/reading, and doesn't really matter much. If you go read the subtitles of many Japanese PVs, you'll realise that a lot of native Japanese words are expressed using Kata as well. Strange, but that's the way it is.....
Do you mean Kana? Kata is associated with martial arts or does it have something to do with alphabets?
On yesjapan.com, "appuru" is written with katakana, while "ringo" is written with kanji and hiragana.
Kata as in Katakana (片仮名), not Style (型). It's pretty common to mix katakana and hiragana together in modern Japanese, not just for foreign loan words, but also for hard to read kanji, to indicate accents, etc.

(fast-forward to the end-of-episode preview)
Yup, it's the same although there's 2 choices. It's also commonly used when paying, when the cashier or waiter asks whether you want to pay by cash or credit. :)
Duders & chickettes.
I was wondering if the following is a correct translation for my nick;
殺害アイズ - satsugai aizu.
If not, what would be?
殺害/殺害する seems more appropriate when used as a verb, so I'm not too sure if it's suitable as your nick. You may want to use a direct translation using katakana, such as キラーアイズ, or something more subtle like 致命的な目 which literally means Eyes that bring/cause death. I'd recommend the former though.
キラーアイズ - So this literally means Killa-Eyez or Killer-Eyez?
Killer Eyes. Hmmm enlighten me but I'm not sure of the difference.....
Difference between Killa-Eyez and Killer-Eyes?
Well Killa isn't exactly a word, nor is Eyez. I didn't think you could translate english slang into japanese. So what I have here is Killer-Eyes.
Thanks Psyke. I wanna give you pos. rep. but it says to rep somebody different then you. :p
Though you're the only one helping me out though. :D
Psyke is really all the help you need for Japanese translations.
Literally キラーアイズ translates to "kira-aizu" so phonetically it matches what you're going for.
Hey, it actually does! Thanks! :D
In what sense does spelling "Eyes" with a "z" constitute slang?? It's a matter of spelling and nothing else.Quote:

Thanks for the lesson though.
Or tell me if I'm getting you wrong.
Killa and Eyez are spelled with an "a" and a "z" at the end to represent a dialect in the spelling (although really, the "z" isn't needed since the sound is "z" regardless of spelling). In the end, the words still mean the same thing: literally Killer (adj) and Eyes. It is not slang.Quote:

In any case, I didn't mean to derail. Should have said all that in my first post. Sorry.
Edit to below: I'm not going to derail again. I already told you anyway :p, it's a matter of spelling.
Mmkay..
How do I call it then? Dialect?
Slang would be more like calling eyes "peepers" or "dice" or something like that. It wouldn't even be a colloquialism or jargon, just a misspelling.
But we get your intention.
I understand. Thanks for the explanation. :D
If someone asks you "are you Japanese?", would you respond with:
chigaun desu, chigai desu, or chigau desu?
