| General Japanese you should know if you watch anime and read manga ^^ |
| Pronouns Watashi �me, the formal and general way. Ore �manish way of referring oneself, please don�t use it if you�re a gal, �cause it�s just a way for boys to make themselves sound �kewler� Ora �boyish way of referring oneself, less rougher than ore Atashi �girlish way of referring oneself, still often among women though Kare �he Kanojou �she Anata �general way of saying �you� OH YEAH~!!!!!!!!! I FORGOT, IT'S ALSO A WAY OF WIFE REFERRING TO THEIR HUSBANDS!! ARENT' I RIGHT ANATA~ Vegeta :Damare kono bakana onna!! Me: Nani o iu kono saru!! Vegeta: Kono~ Me: No not at here! we still have to get on with the teaching so hold your fire!! Sonata �an ancient way of saying �you� Aitsu �that thing, it�s very impolite to refer someone wit this Kisama �another inferior way of referring someone Eg �Ma mada, Kakarotto! Kisama~!!!� (no, not yet, Kakarott!!! You @#!%*)~!!! This is a quote from Veggie in the end of the GT series, DAMN YOU KAKAROTT WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO!!!!!!!!!? Kimi �this has various meanings, one is actually being used to refer a royalty in the ancient times but the other one is a rather colloquial way of referring people. Tachi �use it when you have a group of people eg Zetto senshi tachi (the Z warriors) Ra �same as above except more colloquial. |
| Dramatic Phrases and general things you should know Iya �general way of saying no, but the common one you�ll see around is YADA!! Yamerou �stop (in an ordering way, if you want to say it in a polite way you say yametekudasai (the kudasai is a polite particle) Chotto matte kudasai �just a minute (literally it means please wait for a little) Chigau �to be mistaken (general and conversational) but usually you hear characters saying �Chigau chigau!!� when they were in a desperate situation for example, like when people did not understand what disaster will the things they do will bring etc Kokoro �heart, not organic but abstract. Dake �only, eg aitsu wa kodomo dake yo! (you�re only a kid!) Bara �rose (er, not very general but ah well) Chan �an intimate word to add at the end of someone�s name, commonly used between lovers and girl friends, but if any of my friend dare to refer me like that I so will pound them onto the ground. Kun �something you usually refer to boys� names at the end, less intimate than chan and boys refer like that to each other as well. |
| Verbs (or commands if you like) Basically most of them ends with �ru� �cause it�s a conversational way of saying things (it�s also the root of all the verbs in Jap but that�s another story if you don�t study Jap), but if you want to make it more commanding you change the �u� to �o� or �e� vowels pronunciation, but it depends so you follow my guidelines or else hmf! Suwaru (suware)�sit. Orosu (orose)�put something down. Eg atashi o orose!! (put me down!!) Kocchi �come here (a slang way of saying koko which means �here� Oide �same as the above. These two aren�t verbs though. Hanaru (hanaro)�to release, like bullets or cannons. Hashiru (hashire) �to run. Korosu (korose)�to kill (yeah~ now that�s Saiyan ^^ nah, I hate the taste of blood, specially when I bit my tongue ><) Taberu (tabero) �to eat. Nomu (nomo)�to drink eg Chi wo nomu (drink blood, nah joking~ ^^) hate the tast of blood, specially when I bit my tongue^^ Utau (utae)�to sing, take out the �u� and you�ll have uta as a noun, which is sing ^^ Motsu (motse)�to hold or carry eg Buruma wa itsumo doragonbooru reeda wo motsu (Bulma always carries a Dragon ball radar) Yameru (yamero)�to stop, you usually hear the characters in anime saying things like �YAMEROU!!!!!!!!!!!� especially Ashitaka, man I�d say he said about 15 times in the movie Mononoke Hime ^^ |
