| Dictionary Ah, what the heck. If you insist with that bag of candies. Yer host, Duo. Havin' fun here, lots of sugars in this place. Wonderin' why I have this job? Well, since Wing Zero's Japanese is crappy, he decided that if he uses an American host, he'll get less rotten eggs thrown at him. *snickers* Yeah right. I just want you guys all to know, this is Wing's Japanese, not mine, so if you have an urge to throw a tomato or an rotten egg, chuck it at him, not me, kayz? Then let's take a look at this stuff, which shouldn't even be up 'cause Wing Zero doesn't speak Japanese(not that he speaks decent English, either.)(Wing: Someone who says "ryokai" should shuddup...) ...*cough* Anyway. Sara-sama will have to work overtime fixin' the mistakes. Ai: Love Aishiteru: I love you. Anata (wa): You (are) <formal> Anime: Japanese animatin. Japanese can't pronounce "tion" really well(*cough the lady in playstation commercial cough*), so they chopped off the sound at the end and we anime fans faithfully follow that pronounciation. Just so that you know, if you call an anime "cartoon", you'll be stampeded by anime fans. Ano: Um... , can be used as "that". Arigato (gazaimasu): Thank you (very much). Ashita: Tomorrow. Asoko: Over there Baka (Yaro): Idiot, stupid. (Slightly more intense if you add this in... sorta like "stupid bastard") Bishoujo: Pretty girls. Literally "beautiful young woman". Bishounen: Cute guys. Literally "beautiful young years". (I didn't thought up of this, so don't look at me like that...) ~chan: Used for friends, this indicates you're very friendly with the person. Added at the end of first name. Guys will seriously get pissed if you call 'em this, though, unless they allowed it. Chau: No, not. (It must be Osakan dialect, 'cause only Kero uses it...)

Domo (arigato): Thank you (very much). Douzo: Please, go ahead, do so. Doushite: How come Ecchi: Mild form of hentai, front letter of "Hentai"("H") Genki: Happy, well. Gomen(nasai): Sorry(forgive me-- this is more formal) Gouchisosama: Thank you for the food(said after eating) Hai: Yes. Hajimemashite: Nice to meet you. Hayaku: Hurry up, fast. Hentai: Pervertive, Pervert. (Hiro: Its synonym is Wing....) (Wing: Aw, shuddup...) Hito: Person. Hoshi: Star Hon: Book; so "Kurou Kaado no Hon" means "Clow Card Book".... Iie: No. Ikkimasho, Ikkoyo, Ikkuzen, Ikko: Let's go. Ima (da, ya): Now. ("da" seems to be standard, because Shaoran uses it. Kero says, "Imaya, Sakura!") Imouto-chan: Little sister Irashaimase: Welcome Ittekimasu: I'll be off; I'm heading out Itadakimasu: Thank you for the food(said before eating) Itterashai: Take care. Ja: Later. Kaijyuu: Monster Kagi: Key Kakkoii: Cool Kawaii: Cute Kero: Froggy; Japanese frogs cry "kero kero kero", apparently.. Kinou: Yesterday Kirei: Pretty. Koishiteru: I like you. (Usually in Japan, you use this instead of "Aishiteru".) Konnichiwa: Good afternoon, good day, hi. Konyanyachiea: Wuz up! (It's "Konnichiwa" in Osakan accent...) Kudasai: Please ~kun: Added to either last or first name. If you add it to the last name, it indicates that you're not really friendly with that person. Used for boys... *cough Sonomi cough* usually. Kyo: Today. Mahou: Magic Mahoujin: That circular light thingie that appears at Sakura's feet whenever she uses magic Manga: Comic book Mata (ne, ashita): See you (later, tomorrow). Matte: Wait Mochiron: Of course. Nandemonai!: It's nothing! Never mind. Nakayoshi: Very good friends; Name of magazine CCS manga was featured in. Nani?: What? Ne?: Right? No: Of Ohayo (gozaimasu): good morning (to you, formal way of saying the same phrase) Okaa-san: Mother. Okaeri (nasai): Welcome home. (more formal) Omae: You(informal form; like when Hiro said "Omae o korosu"... "I'll kill you") Onegai: Please Onee-chan: Older sister Onii-chan: Older brother Onna (no ko): Women (girl) Ore: I (informal form; like when Shaoran said "Ore wa omae ga suki da"... "I like you") Otoko (no ko): Men (boy) Otoo-san: Father Ototo-chan: Little brother Sakura: Cherry blossoms ~san: formal heading; can be added to first or last name, but usually last name.

Yoroshiku.: 's a pleasure to meet with you; please remember me kindly; something like that..... Yume (no nakae): Dream. (within a dream) Yukkuri: Slowly, slow down. Yuri: Girl + girl.. usually between young and pretty girls... Zettai Daijoubu dayo: It's absolutely fine; It's totally OK. One advantage of learning Japanese sorely from anime... you learn all the informal forms! ^_^ Including "Shut up"! ^_^ (Thanks, Touya.) * MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I finally found that shounen comic magazine book! XD XD XD Yaoi is the abbrevation of "YAma nashi" + "Ochi nashi" + Imi nashi", which means something like "No importance, no purpose, and no meaning" or something like that. |
