    To really get to understand the langauge and how common people use it -- I download messengers to do so. However. I was curious how people use Japanese on messengers.. or on websites.. etc.

    Do they use only kanji, a combination of all three, or mostly or all Hiragana?

    Thank yewww..

    well for the most part, hiragana and katakana are phonetical meaning even if you dont know the word you can sound it out...which makes basic reading easy. Kanji is a much harder system...with over 40000 characters there are many different combinations. also there are old and new kanji meaning that there are Kanji that havent been used in 100 years and there are Kanji that are used currently...so most likely messengers and the such are done in Hiragana.
