JAPANESE!

I was checking out the translator, and noticed that it sucks at translating Japanese.
So please, allow me to teach you a little Japanese.

*insert cool guitar riff*

 

Da ma rae gozaimas.

 

Oh, the language. I was hoping for some hot juhachi year old asian girl pics.

 

Why did we need to know this?

Don't you want to learn Japanese ?

Alabak

 

Lie.

 

I do!! *waves arms* I thought that was Segoi!

 

Post it in Japanese characters with a link to a site where we can download the appropriate font, and I'll be satisfied.

Segoi indeed!

Segoi. ........ "Cool." or "Awesome."

Umm.. I thought it was Sugoi? ?

Also.. lie? I've never seen it spelled that way.. was pretty sure it was 'iie'. *shrugs* I'm only learning, still, little by little.. but that's what I've seen, anyway.


** Oh, and.. Gozaimasu...I'm pretty sure there's a U on the end of that one.

 

I did Japanese for a little while. Now all I can remember is ohayo gozaimusu and konnichiwa.

 

If I remember it correctly...

Watashi wa den wa bango-wa nan ban desu ka?

"What is your telephone number?"

 

this thread = sugoi!



. . and confusion reigns supreme . .

 

ski-be desu

 

Erm...*trying badly to fit in*...hadoken! Shoryuken! Um...Sonic Boom!

 

Man, those translations are so bad.

 

At least Alabak tried!!!

 

I have a problem with the spelling of Hai/ Yes
"Hai" means "shark" in german
