The Powers That Be: Empire's Heir
 
 Word and Name Meanings .
 

Some of these are going to be very obvious and are from the manga but some of them are my own creations. They are all in alphabetical order. The English alphabet.
 


Words
 
I don't speak Japanese so these are just what I believe the words mean and the way in which they are used. I don't think there are any major mistakes in there but you never know... (At any rate, this is what I meant when I used a particular word.)

Aa - Yes but less formal than hai
Ai shiteru - I love you
Aku - Bad/Evil
Ara - General noise of surprise
Baka - Idiot
Bakana - Impossible/It can't be/I don't believe it
Budokai - Martial arts competition
Chan - Suffix used on child or as endearment
Che - General purpose curse word
Chichiue - Very polite way of saying father
Chotto matte - Wait a sec[ond]
Chotto matte kudasai - Please wait a second. The 'kudasai' makes it a polite request. (Trunks doesn't use it because he is thinking to himself. Chichi does because she is addressing Uub-kun.)
Daijoubou - I'm alright/It's alright
Daijoubou ka - Are you all right?
Demo - But
Gi - A shirt used for fighting in. (Dougi) (The difference between a gi and a kimono is in the sleeves and the length.)
Gochisousama - the meal was delicious; signals that one is done with the meal
Gomen - Sorry/ I'm sorry
Hahaue - Very polite way of saying mother
Hai - Yes
Hajime - Start/Begin
Hakama - loose traditional Japanese pants. (I don't know if Goku actually wears these or not but it's a close enough description.)
Hime - Princess
Honto ne - Really
Iie - No
Ikuzo - Let's go
Itadakimasu - Let's eat. Said at the beginning of a meal.
Iya - No with slight distaste
Jichan - Uncle (Yep, the difference between Uncle and Grandfather is one 'i.' But it makes a slight difference in pronouncation. In grandfather you hold the 'i' sound but with uncle it's a faster word.)
Jiichan - Grandfather (Ojiichan - the 'o' is added for politeness.)
Kaasan - Mother (The 'o' on 'okaasan' is added for politeness.)
Kanji - Chinese writing system. (The pictograms things. The Japanese use an adapted version.)

Sama - Very polite suffix. Indicates respect and admiration for the person or a higher social status. Often translated in English to 'Master' although this is not its literal meaning. Also used when addressing deities, like Kami-sama, Kaio-sama.
San - Polite suffix, approximately equal to 'Mr, Mrs' or other english title
Sensei - Teacher
Senshi - Warrior
Shikashi - But
Sou desu - pronounced 'sou des' - That's right/it is right.
