| SPEAK JAPANESE |
| Japanese is a fun language to learn especially if you're into animation. It's also quite easy to get to know the basics. Here i've put some simple basic things such as nouns, verbs, and the most common phrases used. I have some pronounciations and i'll soon add charts of the three types of Japanese writing which are Katakana, Hiragana, and the hardest- Kanji. Yeh, that's why Japanese kids go to school for a longer period of time- they have to learn all three writings. BTW- the Japanese woman on top says Welcome. |

| COMMON PHRASES Nice to meet you- Hajimemashite Yes- hai Good morning- Ohayo Gozaimasu No- iie Good afternoon- Konnichiwa Mr/mrs/miss/ms- san Good evening- Konbanwa Ja mata ne- see you! How are you?- Genki desu ka* Sayonara- bye I'm fine- Genki desu* Arigato- thank you that's right- so desu* Right (isn't that right?)- ne *Don't pronounce the "u" in Desu. *"Ka" is used at the end of a sentence. It replaces a questionmark. *The "e" as in "ne" is said like in french with the accent. |
| OTHER COMMON PHRASES My nae is (name)- Watashi wa (name) desu Man, am i tired- ~Aaaa...Tsukareta This does NOT look good- Kore wa dame desu Today- Kyo This week- Konshu This is boring- Tano shikunaina Quick, hurry up!- Hayaku Which one?- Dore Errr...- Ano... What time is it?- Ima nanji desu ka |
| ADDRESSING PEOPLE It is important to show respect towards people when addressing them in Japan. Adults and unknown people have the word "San" attached after their name. Ex: Mr Reid : Riddo-san* * Certain letters of the alphabet aren't used in the Japanese language and some names are hard to pronounce, therefore people have to "adjust" some names, like Reid. teen boys usually have "Kun" after their name . Ex: Trunks : Turankusu/Trunks-kun teen girls usually have "Chan" after their name. You go figure. "Sensei" is what we call the teachers. |
