What is your fav Japanese word or phrase?

  1. I'm curious and I wanna hear your favs! I'll start and lay the brief ground rules. Post your word or phrase in quotes and then what the word or phrase means in English. Then, feel free to say why the word or phrase tickles your fancy!

    I'll start.
    "ashita" means tomorrow.

    I like the way the word sounds and it represents potential, kinda like the Annie song.

    haha...now that you mention it, it does look that way. It's supposed to be a sprite of Inuyasha in chibi form. Can't remember where I got it from, but found it in the deep recesses of my computer.

    good question. I have no good answer other than...I want to steal all the awesome Japanese words in the world ;). But seriously, not for any reason other than to learn new words and have fun interacting on this side of SanCom, since I'm usually a main pager.

    If I learn 1 word a day, in a year I'll know 365! But, yeah, slow going :)

    My favourite is "itai, itai; yamete kudesai!"

    Once you know that, you can understand 90% of the dialogue in hentai and AV.

  20. Why should i pick some japanese word?
    I want to learn some words in Swedish, Italian and whatnot.
    We Swiss have the famous "chuchichäschtli".

    Trust me.
    You can't go on vacation without someone asking you the chuchichäschtli thing, the moment after they know you're from Switzerland.
    I sure had my share of fun teaching Africans (for example) this word. ^_^

    So teach me some famous word from your country.
