「日本語」 - Kanji Most frequently used for writing " Nihongo " due largely in part to the fact that a set of kanji for this exists and everybody knows what it is. 「 日本 」 is rarely written in hiragana as it is Japan's name (Nihon) and the only people who don't know its kanji are most likely very, very young. And 「 語 」 is tacked onto the end of any country's name to indicate the country's language (with an exception being the word for English which is not 「イギリス語」 or 「アメリカ語」 but 「英語」). In short, since these are simple kanji, it's more mature to use them than it is not to. Honestly, this is one of the first examples you get in most kanji lessons (since both 日 and 木 are very basic kanji), so if you don't use it/know how to write it past the beginner level, a lot of your teachers and classmates won't take your studies seriously. ---- 「にほんご」 - Hiragana This is used for beginners who don't know the kanji for Japanese yet. Even on beginner level books with titles in Japanese, however, you'll find the kanji being used instead of the hiragana. Most likely, this would come up during a hiragana lesson -or- on a poster/book cover/etc. that is supposed to be cutesy and fun. ---- 「ニホンゴ」 - Katakana This is almost never used. "Nihongo" is not a foreign word (or animal name), so there's no need to consistently write it in katakana. If you ever saw this, it would be in order to emphasize the word "Nihongo" -or- on a poster/book cover/etc. that preferred the katakana stylization to a hiragana version purely for looks. Hope this helps!

さようなら this means goodbye or sayoonara, the oo sound in the word are written as ou in hiragana . So it's sayounara instead of sayoonara in hiragana.
95% use う=u in long vowel sound for oo and only 5% use お=o, that 5% are the exceptions. For example おおきいwhich means ookii/big. same goes for long ee sound,it became ei. 95% use い=i and 5% for e=え for the second vowel. For example, oneesan/elder sister = おねえさん。

"Ja" written in either hiragana or katakana does not mean goodbye. "Ja" literally means, "then." In casual situations, Japanese sometimes say, "Ja ne," "Ja na," or "Ja," which all mean, more or less, "Well... see you!"

さようなら or "sayounara" means "goodbye."

Also, katakana is used exclusively for foreign words. "Ja" would not be written in katakana because it is a native Japanese word.

It's "じゃあ(jaa)", which means "then...", "so...".
As you know this is an expression for farewell, usually written in Hiragana as above.

じゃ と 書くか、  じゃね。 But it only means goodbye in a casual way, used between friends or more to mean "okay, then, later." more than saying goodbye to someone.

Hope this helps!

My lover is from Japan. She may say, "Sayonara", or ,"Ja ato de". I cannot show Japanese symbols on my computer. If no one else knows, you could email me.

Goodbye = さようなら (sayounara).
"Ja" = じゃ
eg: See you later. じゃ後ほど、さようなら (Ja ato hodo, sayounara).
She kissed the child goodbye. 彼女は子供にさようならのキスをした。(Kanojo wa kodomo ni sayounara no kisu wo shita).
