Japanese The word of the day is...

Um...I think it was 'nan da you', but I think that just means "what" (?? I don't know!!)

 

Okay! Thanx Izzy.
now I was wonderind how you'd say 'and', like in
Merry christmas
AND
a happy new year?????

 

omoroii: funny

This is a term I never use, since sounds kind of funny to me. It's the shortened version of omoshiroii.

 

How would you use that word to say something like "That's funny" ?

(I am still in the dark when it comes to grammar...)

 

Do you mean 'That's strange'?
then you would use 'Okashii ne'
or... 'Chotto hen desu ne'

for 'That's funny' you'd just say 'Omoshiroi' or 'Omoroi' or 'Sore wa Omoshiroi desu!' there are lots of ways you can say these things.

oic...so you can just say the adjective?

 

kewl, kewl, *scribbles all that into notebook*
and I thought, how'd you say 'It's not fair!'?
(which it isn't, why oh why? not fair!!!! *stops mumbling*)

 

Well, some of you may have wondered what Tamagochi meant, when there was a big craze all them years ago. Well, here's my interpretation. Tamago=egg and Tamodachi=friend. So, it's kind of like, egg friend. Yup.
I could be wrong, but might not be. Here's hoping.

 

Just wondered Jackal :catgirl:

 

It's not fair: Sorete zuruii

not fair: zuruii

 

Most likely you are correct, DL. Your interpretation makes complete sense.

I had one of those, but they were so annoying, cuz they kept beeping in the most unwanted times...

 

'ichiban' means first, right? so, does 'niban' (or however it's spelt) mean second?

 

'Ichiban' means 'number one'
'Niban' = 'number two'
yah, '-ban' attached to a number means 'number (number)'

and, on a nitpick note... Tomodachi means friend. Tamodachi... I don't know that it means anything actually. Side note to that, in a lot of things, Tomodachi is just shortened to 'Tomo' (just the first Kanji of the combo).

I think was mentioned before, but I can't find it, 'Omae'??
and this sentence:
'bokura wa mada shizuka ni tobira o tataiteru'
yesh, I WAS listening to 'Wild Drive' and no, I didn't really catch any other words in it :sweat:

 

'bokura wa mada shizuka ni tobira o tataiteru'= we are still quitely tapping on the door.
I think that's right, I'm not positive though.

Omae= you
Not the most polite way to say you though...
