I remember hearing that durig one ofmy animw watching sessions. But don't remember what it means.

arigato = Thank you, or they also sometimes say sankeh [which I absolutely adore]

konichwa = Hello

Desu or desuka are usually said after sentences due to respect or something like that. I don't know what jenki is though.

:w:

[The Ruler]

^Ah okay. I won't. I just need someone to teach me japjap. And you're going to do it.

[Skywalker]

I love Japanese! Here's something:

Konnichi wa, watashi wa Skywalker desu. Hajimemashte.

-translation: Hello, I'm Skywalker, nice to meet you! lol

I'm an anime fan myself, so I always like picking up lines here and there.

they also sometimes say sankeh [which I absolutely adore]

lol, that one always cracks me up!

Anyways, the original creator of this thread wanted a japanese partner or something...you can go to the site www.japanese-online.com and they can hook you up with a pen pal or something. They also give free online lessons (that's where I got that first line :P). Check it out!

it amazes me here in japan.

they have toilets that do all sorts of things but they also have squaters.

Imagine a toilet in the ground that you have to squat over to do you business... ugh. i hate them...
I enjoy those nice western sitters.

[_Establishment]

:D
Hai! Watashi ha _Establishment Desu!

^_^ Ok, Here Is Some Basic Japanese For Everyone:

Watashi ha {Your Name} Desu - I Am {Your Name}
(Wat-ash-ee-wha {Name} Des)

Eigo Ga Hanasemaksuka? - Do You Speak English?
(Eeh-Go Gah Han-ase-ehm-ack-sooka)

Sayonara - Goodbye
(Sai-yoh-nah-rah)

Ogenki Desuka? - How Are You?
(Oh-Gehn-keeh Des-ooh-kah)

Genki Desu - Im Fine
(Gehn-kee Des)

Wakarimasen - I Dont Understand
(Wahk-ar-eem-assen)

Hajimema****e - Means Like.. Nice To Meet You
(Hai-jeeh-Mee-Mash-{i}-teh)
You Cant Always Hear The 2nd I, Especially When Someone Is Talking Super Fast Japanese!

The Japanese Is 100% Correct Spelling, And I Know A Fair Bit More.

[KBA]

こんいちはみんな、僕の名前はＫＢＡです
僕が日本語を六月に習う

I've been studying for about 6 months now

I am not fluent, but at least proficient, and I know at least 1,000 words and the Hiragana and Katakana symbols, along with about 40 kanji.

It's difficult to learn though for a native English speaker, especially the Kanji :/

[Abu Musab]

erm arigato - jenki desuka and erm kinichua

They are definately japanese, i duno what they mean though.

arigatou = thank you

genki desu ka = how are you? (saying "o genki desu ka" will be for politeness/to show honour to a person, like for a person older than you)

konnichiwa = good afternoon

ohiyo gozaimasu = good morning (or you can just say "ohiyo" meaning 'morning')

[Abu Musab]

Any statement ending in 'ka', like "Anata wa nihonjin desu" means "You are Japanese" while "Anata wa nihonjin desuka" means "Are you Japanese?"

Aye the 'ka' indicates a question.

[Abu Musab]

I remember hearing that durig one ofmy animw watching sessions. But don't remember what it means.

arigato = Thank you, or they also sometimes say sankeh [which I absolutely adore]

konichwa = Hello

Desu or desuka are usually said after sentences due to respect or something like that. I don't know what jenki is though.

:w:

genki literally means 'health', but when you say 'o genki desu ka" it means 'how are you"

Like haal (in arabic) literally means 'state' but when you say "kayfa haaluk" then it means "how are you"

[Abu Musab]

Wakarimasen deshta

Are you saying:

Sen=1000 ?


Eigo de kaite kudasai, mata wa romaji de kaite kudasai

I think he was being sarcastic, in one 'jokes' thing it said, wa sin ka = washing car.

[Abu Musab]

:sl:

ojisama = prince

itsumo = forever

niichan/oniichan = brother :?...methinks

:w:

:w:

the 'chan' is an honourific, and the 'o' is used for respect, you could say nii-san which is higher respect than chan, or you could use the highest respect and say nii-sama.

nii = brother
nee = sister

or,

aniki = brother
aneki = sister

to = father, but cos no one speaks like that people would say 'oto-san'
ka = mother, same like the above one so people say 'oka-san'

^ the above two are more like 'dad' and 'mom' whereas the traditional way is,

chichi-ue = father
haha-ue = mother

now the honourifics,

sama: used for extreme respect
dono: used for respect
sensei: used for teachers/masters etc
sempai: used for someone with more experience than you
ototo: younger brother
imoto: younger sister
jii: grandfather or elderly man
baa: grandmother or elderly woman
oji: uncle
oba: aunty
bo: used for babies

'san' is the usual honourific which is used after those things, like oji-san, oba-san, baa-san, jii-san etc

[smile]

the only thing i know is that you add
-kun
or
-chan
or something
at the end of a persons name when addressing them.

May we have english sentences/words that we may want translated, translated? You know, a form of learning japanese?

Or we could start a game such as "Japanese to english" or "English to japanese". It'll be fun. Good way to learn some japanese. :-D

[Re.TiReD]

I've heard that Japanese is very simple...words are not split into masculine and feminine...and thats the most difficult thing when learning a language I think...Can anybody write Japanese? Maybe you could post it here? *smile*

[The Ruler]

There are a few masculine and feminine. Nah? They are simple though when it comes to pronounciation and sentence forming. I know how to write my name in japanese. But I don't know how to type it. *grin* :-P

I got an idea... some of us here obviously watch anime and j-dramas rite? So, how about putting a japanese song lyric without the translation and try our best to translate it without (i repeat), WITHOUT searching for its translation. so, i'll start.

Arigatou, to kimi ni iwareru to

Tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de
Shuukaku no hi wo yume miteru aoi furuutsu

Ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de

Arigatou, to kimi ni iwareru to
