An Otaku's Dictionary

It's like everytime I say something in Japanese, my friends (non-anime ones) look at me funny and go "Whatever"

Well, here's a post dedicated to you all in better hopes of you all understanding me...

Konnichiwa, watashi wa Judith-san desu.
Good afternoon, my name is Judith.

There you go, easy-peasy.

So how about good morning, good evening and good night??

Good morning = Ohayo Gozaimasu
Good afternoon = Konnichiwa
Good evening = Konbawa
Good night = Oyasumi Nasai

^_^ Hope you all might say that to me one day!!

What about saying to family?

Mother = Okaa-san
Father = Otou-san
Older Brother = Onii-san
Older Sister = Onee-san
Younger Brother = Ototo-san
Younger Sister = Imoto-san

Definitely too easy~

What about some everyday things, like when you see this really cute guy or girl walking by? What do you say??

Cute = Kawaii
Cool = Kakkoii
Pretty = Kirei

And some of my favourite ones
Itadakimasu = say it before your meal
Baka = Stupid
Ahou = Idiot
Ja ne = Bye
Ohayo = Hi

Oh and many ask me what about the suffixes?? like -chan, -san and -kun
-san is just a formality, like Mr or Miss
-chan is what a guy would add to a girl's name if they like her
-kun is what a girl would add to a guy's name if they like him

And want to be polite?
Thank You = Arigatou Gozaimasu
You're Welcome = Doo Itashimashite

So understand Japanese a little better?? What are you all waiting for, start practising so I can add random Jap words into my sentences when I talk to you!!

Oh and remember this link helps a lot too... A Japanese Dictionary

PS: Jon asked me what's CHIBI... 3 words... Small, deformed and too cute for words! LOL oops, more than 3 words than...

And one more thing~ My nickname? Chibified Kitsunes, it's just got to be Cute, little fox. :grinz:
