Neko Rini asked in Society & CultureLanguages · 1 decade ago

how would i say/ write this is Japanese?

I am making shirts to sell to raise money to donate to Japan and i am not so sure if i am saying this right.

I wanted to say "Help please" and ended up with "Tasukete Onegai shimasu"

助けて お ねがいします

but then i thought to say "Help Japan Please"

and ended up with "Nippon o tasukeru onegai shimasu"

日本を助ける お ねがいします

but i don't know if the second one is right

can you tell me if it is, how to fix it if it is wrong

or another slogan if you know of something better to say please

    I would use '助けてください(Tasukete kudasai)' for 'Help please'.

    If 'Help Japan please', I'd say '日本を助けてください(Nihon wo tasukete kudasai)'.

    You can use 'Nippon' instead of Nihon for Japan.

    Well, most Japanese people can understand the English phrase 'Help Japan' or 'Save Japan'. 'Help' or 'Save' are common words in Japan. And I think 'Help Japan' or 'Save Japan' are better for slogan because it's a very clear message.:)

    Thank you so very much for Japan, anyway!
