what does anjin mean ??

大丈夫　だいじょうぶ　daijoubu This is a must know phrase. So very common. It can mean yes or no, I'm fine, no thanks. Context, tone and gestures are key.

It means How are you? But.. In Japan, it isn't said every time you see someone. Instead say: 最近、どうですか。 Saikin, dou desu ka. How have you been lately? 🗣️ Positive はい、元気です。 Hai, genki desu. I’m well. いい感じです。 Ii kanji desu. Things are going well. 🗣️ Neutral (very common) まあまあです。 Maa maa desu. So-so. 普通です。 Futsū desu. Pretty normal. 🗣️ Busy / tired ちょっと忙しいです。 Chotto isogashii desu. I’ve been a bit busy. 最近ちょっと疲れています。 Saikin chotto tsukarete imasu. I’ve been a bit tired lately. 🗣️ Add a little detail (very natural) はい、元気です。ちょっと忙しいですが。 Hai, genki desu. Chotto isogashii desu ga. I’m well, just a bit busy. まあまあです。仕事が忙しくて。 Maa maa desu. Shigoto ga isogashikute. So-so, work’s been busy.

I learnt katakana last month, because I thought there would be some use of it later on. I see absolutely no use, and it doesn't even appear anywhere in this community or wani kani. Can someone please explain whats the use, how to use, and whether I should learn to read it better?
