Japanese Let's Try To Speak Japanese!!

konnichiwa, hajimemashite, watashi wa Morita desu. Dozo yoroshiku.

 

you said good afternoon. how do you do. I am Morita. dozo yorishiku? i donno what that means

 

douzo yoroshiku means "nice to meet you"
literally it means "please teach me"

 

私の署名が何と言うか試みて考えてください。 Mwahahahaha.

 

boku wa baka desu. boku wa neko desu. boku wa coocoo for cocoa puffs desu. ^_^ LOl

 

Umm... SonGoten, you said "I'm an idiot. I'm a cat. I'm coocoo for cocoa puffs." ... Right.

I do have a question. I have heard several ways to refer to yourself. Ore, Boku, Watashi, Watakushi. What is the difference? I think it has to do with the context, but I'm not sure. Perhaps someone could help with this?

 

LOL yeah i did say that shinryu. i didn't know what else to say so i just said stuff at random.

btw:
"ore" is a tough, very manly, impolite way of saying "I". same meaning as watashi but it sound like you are speaking waaay to tough. should only be used among friends.

"boku" is kinda imformal, not too much, not like "ore" at least. normally teens use this but i hear it's kinda not toooooooooo manly or something. safer to use than "ore" tho

one you didn't mention that i thought i'd let you know is "atashi". the female version of "boku". still kinda imformal but safe among friends and safer than "ore". girls use this kind of a lot, and so do homosexuals O_O
"watashi" is like the most polite one. can be used when talking to ANYONE.

"watakushi" is a bit more polite than "watashi". all that "watashi" is is a shortened version of this word. either one can be used, but i recommend "watakushi" simply because it is a bit more polite/formal.

another one that you didn't mention that i thought i'd let you know is "sessho". waaaaaay polite word right there meaning "I" too. even more polite than "watakushi", but it's kind of an old word from when there were samura and stuff like that. so you will very rarely hear it.

 

one correction, its not unmanly to use "boku". And guys of any age can use it. It's also considered as polite.

Shinryuって心流なの？そうじゃなかった新竜？　（笑）

 

*blinks* Uh....



Watashi no namae wa Kitoky desu, hajimemashite.


^^;;


I don't know much Japanese, so I apologize.

 

Meaning what, exactly? I might have a chance if it were romanized, but I know very little of the written language.

 

well, technically when introducing yourself, its best to say "Watashi wa Kitoky desu" because watashi no namae etc is more of an answer to being asked "whats your name" so... just saying "watashi wa kitoky desu" is better.

 

mae mo yuttan dakedo... ore no na wa yakamashi suyo!!! te ore wa onnanoko daga na. *niko*

 

Meep. Well I just thought I'd say it that way, I thought "watashi wa kitoky desu" was a bit plain.

 

what does mean "anataga daisuki desu"?one girl said me that but i dont understand, can anyone to translate it for me please!!!

 

Quite simply, it means "I love you."

...

Lucky.

 

Watashi wa Tomoe Desu, oname wa nan desu ka? My first post! lol, well anyway, Call me Tomoe, or Mrs. Himura or whatever

 

Hajimemashite. watashi wa John desu. Dozo yoroshiku.

Hello everyone! I took nihon-go as a college course when I was stationed on Okinawa so I could impress a lovely onna no hito named Yumiko.

After my time in the Marines was over I attended the University of Central Florida, where I took two semesters of nihon-go as my "required" language. Sadly, I don't really remember much but reading through this post has helped me to remember a whole lot.

For everyone who is learning/re-learning - Gambatte Kudasai!
