The Japanese word for "and" and since there is no spacing between words in Japanese, how do you know it means "and"? What if や is apart of another word?
Do you have to read it in context to understand? Edited by P0nd3r on 09 January 2011 at 4:08pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

99% of the time it's clear from the context.

Yes, it is context. When we speak we do not separate our words. It just takes time to get
used to while reading. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
