I hope you can view it... I know that it means "hamster", but how is it transcribed in Romanji? And how is it pronounced exactly? And what does it mean literally (for instance, the Chinese for "hamster" means "warehouse mouse")?

Thnak you

Hamusutaa
説明:
In Romaji, this is written "Hamusutaa" (Ha-mu-su-ta-a), and pronounced phonetically, much the same as Italian.
Literally, it means "Hamster" - that's because it's usually written in katakana (the characters you posted the question in).
Katakana is the alphabet used for word that have been introduced to the Japanese language, such as names, etc.
If it were written in Chinese characters (which it really isn't, in this case) then the characters used would represent the meaning (such as warehouse mouse, etc.)
Hope this helps a little.

The Romaji would be "Ha Mu Su Ta-".
Pronounciation:
Ha - as in Hana (nose)
Mu - as in Mura (village)
Su - Surippa (Slippers)
Ta- - as in Conpyuuta- (computer)

In English it means, a short-tailed burrowing rodent with large cheek pouches.
