Japanese Does the trick!

Well, hi again..






However awkward this may look(for reasons un known to me) this blog post is going to help you learn the little Japanese taht i have learnt from my Japanese classes at college, which by the way is still going on. Tomoki Nakamora seems to be quite the crazy, nut job Jap when it comes to teching the subject, be it dancing in class, pronouncing "blue" as "brue", or "village" as :
1."Billage"
2."Biyatch"(yes i was shocked when i thought he said that in class !)
3."Biredge"
So here we go. I am going to list out a few basic phrases to be pronounced phonetically . I don't have Japanese scrpits yet, so you will have to do with conversatinal Japanese for now atelast!


*Hello
*Kongnichiwa (pronounced conn-nee-chee-waa)
*good morning
*Ohaiyo (oh- haie-yo!)
This is for friends and people of similar age.
*good morning (with respect)
*Ohaiyogozaimaas (oh-haie-yo! go-zaie-maas) -you will have to say this pretty quickly so that they understand that it is one word. Otherwise be prepared to look like a retard that thinks he knows Japanese.
*coffee
*Koohi (koo-hee)
*park
*Kanou(kaan-nou)
*Where is the park?
*Kanou was kan desh ka? (Kaan-nou waa kaan they-sh kaa?)
*What is your name?
*Anatono namaei wa kan desh ka?
(a-naa-ta-no naa-maie waa kaan they-sh kaa ?)
*My name is ______ .
*watashi no namaei wa ____ desh.
(waa-ta-shi-no naa-maei waa #your name here# they-sh!)

*I am ________.
(waa-ta-shi waa #your name here# they-sh.)
*right(sense of direction)
mi si
(mee- see)
*left(sense of direction)
hidari
(hee-daa-ree)
*tomorrow
*ashita
(ash-taa)
*today
*Kyou
(ky-ohh)

*Day before yesterday
*ototoi
(oh-toh-toie)
*friend
*tomogachi
(toh-moh-gah-chee)









*Nice to meet you.
*hah jee meh mosh te.
(hah -jee -meh- mosh- teh)









And just in case you see pretty Japanese girls like the one's in this pic here :P , you can always go out and confidently say
*anata wa utsukushii des!
(a-naa-taa waa oot-soo-kooshy desh!)
which would in turn mean" you are very beautiful / attractive " in Japanese!
Well, i suppose this is good enough for those who have no clue about the language for now. I do know a bit more, and can converse a teeny weeny bit fluently , but I want to save that for later.
So that's about ti for now folks.
See you later
*Bye bye
*Sayonara
(sai-yoh-na-ra ! )
Cheers!
