I'm redecorating my room and I want some nice looking chinese/japanese signs on my wall, so I figured I put the text above my bed and I use the word rest, since I sleep there. But I don't really trust those translating machines and I figured this is a gaming forum and most gaming forums have someone who actually knows one of these languages, which language doesn't really matter. So if anybody knows the right figures please help me.

Interesting(though strange) idea. How did you come up with it?
Unfortunately, I cannot help you. I know almost nothing of Japanese and absolutely nothing of the Chinese language.

Interests:Drums, Guitar Hero, pretending to play guitar, getting awesome at the one song I know how to play on bass, school(yeah, I'm such a loser) music, mohney, etc. I suppose I'll give you an abbreviated list of bands that I like: Relient K Switchfoot Guster Angels and Airwaves Arcade Fire Porcupine Tree Weezer Mae It's sorta a weird mix of mainstream and not so mainstream. I like a lot of single songs too... Bands I need to look at: Plastic Constellations Cauterize Patent Pending And a bunch of local bands that you'll probably never hear of. Pandora rocks. I'm running out of things to say here. Perhaps I like duct tape? Yeah. This likely won't be touched for another year when my tastes have completely changed.

Well, I don't have a Chinese/Japanese character veiwing thingy, so I can't really see/show anythings, but a quick search of Google shows several good looking sites. Or you can go download a Chinese font and type random things to see if they look cool.

Wanna know how? Because I'm mad! :D [/cheaptvreference]

FD, I really want the word rest above my bed just because I sleep there, I wouldn't want to have something stupid like adagsdjfasdf on my wall now would I.

...If I were you, I'd go to places like this instead: http://www.kanjisite.com/

You're putting your trust in these languages in a gaming forum with 14 year-old people who SAY they know Japanese because they watched a couple of Anime episodes and know what "desu" means. (Sure, there's like, one or two people who REALLY know but, yeah ): ).

Things like tattoos are mispelled ALL THE TIME. If ONE single stroke is missing or inaccurate in some way, the whole meaning will change completely or it wont mean ****. So be as careful as you can.
