I like the japanese I don't really know their lanulage I really want to learn it tell me the word and its meaning

you know japanese!!!! i hate you, jk but well you rember on my site what my answers are so no need too say

...? I thought he said he didn't know japanese...

He did. I assume Roy just read it wrong.

I only know hello

In Japanese, I know "thank you", "excuse me", and "fanbook thing". Respectively, it's "arigato", "senimasen" (misspelled, of course), and "doujinshi".

Konnichiwa=hello

Konbanwa=good evening

Manga-ka=manga artist

Tankoubon=manga compilation book

Sorewa=ummmm (really! It does!)

Baka=fool

Sakura=cherry blossom

I'll think of more later.

Omega X Doesen't konnichiwa mean hello

Yes...

... wait, why did you quote my thing?

Crap. I forgot about takubon and baka. Stupid me.

EDIT: I thought konichiwa was Korean.

Maybe it is. But it's also Japanese.

All righty then. You know a lot more Japanese than I do, but I'll bet I know more Latin than you do.

I know a lot of Latin incidentally because I know Spanish and English.

umm... 'scuse me, do you (the topic starter, can't remember who :lol: ) just want to learn Japanese, or any language?

The topic starter would be Omega X.

There are lots of online language courses.

To AT: I know a bit of Latin just because I like Latin.

More Japanese I happened to remember:

Hitokiri=assassin

Kaze=wind

Kami=deity (or god)

Tasogare=twilight

Densetsu=legend

Harikiri=suicide

Seppeku=honorable suicide

Onsen=hot spring

Beisu=idiot

Neko=cat

Bake=ghost

Hanten=cafe

Dojo=dojo

More to come as I remember it.

mainly japanese but other would be cool too

I can teach you Swedish XD.

i know a bit of french, but only as much as i've been taught so far....

Kami can also mean "divine", or . . . paper. Trust me, you do NOT want to stress the wrong syllable of "kami" and say you worship paper.

cool ^_^ :smartsign: its pointing to all exept for the ones I hate witch none that have posted in this form are.

Lesson Nr 1,swedish vocalubary:

First off,let's start with something easy.

Hi=Hej[heeij]

Alwas use that in case you meet some one.

Damn you=Fan ta dig[faan taa deij]

Use that if you're pissed off.

I'm shot=Jag har blivigt skjuten[jaag haar bliviit schuuten]

In case you're assasinated.

Gah! Jag har blivigt skjuten!

More Japanese!

Tsurugi=sword

Rekka=flame/fire (can't remember exact definition)

Ryu=dragon (or sword technique)

Kendo=sword fighting

Kempo=martial arts

Usagi=rabbit

Ken=martial arts technique

Akagi=red (crimson)

Most of these I figured out by context so they may not be accurate. *gets shot by Ivan for giving bad definitions* Jag har blivigt skjuten!

What? :blink:

Why don't you teach him some useful, everyday Japanese?

Ummm... like what?

Like what I taught him. Or maybe some grammar. Or how to conjugate verbs.

Whats wrong with the words Axems telling me infact I belive he has so for told me the most words and that deserves a metal

Because that's my job. First thing, you've got to simply memorize exactly how the first 5 characters in the Japanese languags sound.

"a" sounds like the A in "ta-ta"

"i" sounds exactly like a long E. "Eeee!"

"u" sounds like the U in "flute".

"e" sounds like "Eh"

"o" sounds like....the O in "orange"

After you know these 5 sounds, the rest of the alphabet becomes easy, consisting of simply consonants in front of one of the above 5 core letters. Ka, te, hi, mi, yu....

And a written "r" is normally pronounced "l", which is why so many idiots these days still call Alucard "Arucard".

Nani?

I wasn't aware of that. ra-ri-ru-re-ro sounds like R's to me. There ISN'T an L sound in the japanese language....

Silly me. I meant a written "l" is pronounced "r". I haven't had my coffee yet, obviously.

There we go.

...

Coffee? At 14?

I drink coffee practically every morning. I started when I was like 11. I know it's a bad habit and I should stop it, but, well, yeah...

I have half a mind to sic the Kids Next Door on you right now. It's too bad I'm sleepy. :mellow:

Have some coffee.

No, <blocked> off.... <_<

Heheh. You seem very grumpy.

I need to take practical japanese classes from Ivan.

alright. here's my French lesson for today:

Pronouns:

Je: I [pronounced: i dunno if this is any help, cause i cant point out any english words that go with it. if you've ever heard the name "Jean" in French, with the "J" all slurred and rolled and stuff, thats how you pronounce it.]
Tu: You (singular) [pronounced: "too"]
Il: He [pronounced: "ill"]
Elle: She [pronounced: "elle" as in 'belle' (beauty)]
On: One [pronounced: a mix between "uh" and "ugn"]
Qui: Who [pronounced: "key"]

Nous: We [pronounced: "news"]
Vous: You (plural, as in "you guys") [pronounced: "vooze", as in 'booze']
Ils: They (masculine, or if there is a bunch of feminine and masculin objects) [pronounced: "eel"]
Elles: They (feminine) [pronounced: "elle", with a slightly larger stress on the "L"]


Verb Conjugating (can't spell it :( ) [But 'Ivan can.][but you never bothered to correct the misspelling on the bottom :lol: ]

avoir (to have)

J'ai: (I have, I do have, I did have(?) ) [pronounced: "jay", with the 'j' kinda slurred]
Tu as: (You have, ....) [pronounced: too-ah]
Il a: (He has, ....) [pronounced: ill-ah]
Elle a: (She has, ...) [pronounced: "el-ah" as in belle, like beauty]

Nous avons: (We have, ...) [pronounced: "news-ave-uh" with the 'ave' said like the word 'have', and 'uh' kinda a mix between 'uh' and 'ah']

Vous avez: (You have, ...) [pronounced: "vooze-ave-ay" with 'vooze' as in 'booze', and 'ave' as in 'have']

Ils ont: (They have, ...) [pronounced: "eel-son" with the 'son' kinda a mix between 'son' and 'sah']

Elles ont: (They have, ...) [pronounced: "elle-son" with the 'elle' pronounced as in 'belle', and the 'son' a mix between 'son' and 'sah']


note: when i conjugate verbs, i don't include "on" and "qui", because they're the exact same as "il" and "elle".
