The input shows multiple Japanese tokens separated by line breaks. Here are their likely readings and common meanings, with notes on usage.
- ばん
- Readings and meanings:
- ばん (ban) can mean “evening” or “night” in compounds like ばんごはん (dinner) or 昼のばん (evening). It can also mean “turn” or “number in a sequence,” as in 番をする (to take a turn) or 番 (ban) as in a sequence number. Depending on context, it may also function as a counter or suffix related to order. [lecture-like reference: general Japanese usage]
- Readings and meanings:
- どう
- Reading and meaning:
- どう (dou) is a common interrogative/particle element meaning “how” or can be part of words like どうして (why/how come) or どうぞ (please go ahead). In some contexts どう can function as an adverb meaning “in what way” or as a phonetic component of phrases. [general Japanese grammar]

- Reading and meaning:
- た
- Reading and meaning:
- た (ta) is a very common kana that can be a short form of many endings (e.g., past tense in some dialects, or a suffix in names), or a standalone particle/part of a name component depending on context. In isolation, it’s not enough to determine meaning without surrounding context. [general Japanese grammar]

If you intended something specific by listing these four items as a set (for example, to identify their meanings in a particular sentence, or to transliterate a name formed by combining them), please share a bit more context or a sample sentence. With that, I can provide precise readings and translations for the exact usage.
