The first two dashes are the front of the boat and the last dash is the rock where the boat hit. Then just remember that boats are made for sailing in the Sea. The word MAR serves to remember the sound of this katakana. Below is the order of the strokes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1344 size-full\" title=\"Order of strokes of katakana ma\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/comoaprenderjapones.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/katakana-ma-ordem-dos-tracos.jpg?resize=184%2C85&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Order of strokes of katakana ma\" width=\"184\" height=\"85\" \/><\/p>\n<p>MI = \u30df<\/p>\n<p>In the same way that the HA katakana uses the eight kanji, the MI katakana uses the three numeral kanji. the numeral <a href=\"https:\/\/comoaprenderjapones.net\/en\/japanese-numbers-from-1-to-20\/\">three in japanese<\/a> can be pronounced like\u00a0<em>mi<\/em>\u00a0or, in some cases, like\u00a0<em>mitsu<\/em>. Interestingly, this same word appears in the logo formed by three diamonds from the\u00a0<em>MITSUBISH<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend memorizing this katakana using the kanji for number three in Japanese. Just imagine that it is Roman numeral III (lying) asleep for three thousand years. The order of the strokes follows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1345 size-full\" title=\"katakana mi stroke order\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/comoaprenderjapones.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/katakana-mi-ordem-dos-tracos.jpg?resize=259%2C93&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"katakana mi stroke order\" width=\"259\" height=\"93\" \/><\/p>\n<p>MU = \u30e0<\/p>\n<p>To learn this katakana, a little attention is needed. It is very common to confuse MU(\u30e0) with MA(\u30de). Mu reminds me of the number four. Furthermore, MA traces are written in different directions (right, left and right) when compared to MU (left, right, right).<\/p>\n<p>Now imagine a white numeral four(4) with black spots and lowing like a cow. SOOOO!
