Yea, of course thats what I meant! Heh, I'm so dumb! :lol:

Ano, sumimasen RC45-san.
sono toransuresshion wa chotto hen desu.

The verb "oshieru" is not a particularly accurate translation of "turning", it means "learn" or "to be taught". The verb, "naru" would be a better translation, as it means "to become," thus "watashi wa nihon jin ni natte imasu" would be "I am becoming Japanese" which is pretty close to "I'm turning Japanese."

The other weird thing about that translation is that the kanji for "Japanese Language" (Nihongo) appears a couple of times, but in a direct translation of 666fast's post there shouldn't be any of them.

Anyway, you've got me curious hehe...where did you get that block of text?

edit: sorry, forgot to mention, I speak some Japanese hehe.

666fast 12-02-2004 04:02 AM

Can you teach me Japanese swear words? That would R4Wk!!!111BBQ!!1

Vansquish 12-02-2004 04:17 AM

baka = idiot

kuso (koo-so) = shit

chin chin = chinpoko = penis

mune (pronounced "moo-nay") = breast

dame (dah-may) = useless (this one's good if you use it in addition to baka for calling someone an idiot)

kutabakchimae (coo-tah-bah-coo-chi-ma-eh) = fuck you!

kutabare (coo-tah-ba-ray) and zakennayo (za-ken-nah-yo) also mean fuck you in slightly different contexts

oushikuso (oh-oo-shi-coo-so) = bullshit

bobo = pussy/cunt

kusotare (coo-so-tah-ray) = asshole (literally)

That ought to be pretty good for a start lol. Have fun with'em :-)

bmwmpower 12-02-2004 11:48 AM

MercedeSChink 12-02-2004 11:59 AM

Ichi nensei to ninenei ni Modern Language Building de maishuu mainichi Nihongo wo totemasu kara watakushi wa ano tatemono wa kirai desu.

(Freshman and Sophomore years I spent every day of every week in the MLB taking Japanese, so I actually really don't like the building)

-actually the main reason I don't like it is that it's way the hell across campus from where I live and I had to drag my sorry arse all the way there for two years lol.

The films are alright though hehe :-)

nthfinity 12-03-2004 01:04 AM

lol, i bet :P ... thats exactly why i loathed McCracken Hall. no good parking without walking across half the campus. good professors, a few good classes... just way to far when i had classes 15 minutes apart.

my knowlege of japanese is quite limited.
films are the only reason i been there... Western has a similar group called anime addicts, but its not as big... AA is the Anime capitol of michigan.

PaulGT2164 12-03-2004 02:47 AM

ok but can anyone write the poor guy his letter now that we can all talk trash in japanese?
