Hai means yes. If you need to say what? you say nani. At least that's what I'm told.

If you knew what you wanted to say, I am sure you would get some quick help.

depends on what u wanna say. i can give u some sentances but plz bare wit my spelling, i can barely spell in english

koko ni ite - stay with me

wasurenaide - don't forget

izu - let's go

nandio(can't spell, but that's how it's pronouced) - what is it

iie - no (switch the sounds of the e and the i to say this word)

sayonara - goodbye

tojikomeru - shut up

baka - idoit/fool/stupid

shinu - die

hitoshi - (im not 4 sure of the direct translation but it's along the lines of my)

sora - sky
i like to say boku wa kimi no sora to ppl im fond of, it means i'll b ur sky. but i only say iy 4 fun b/c it's corny

i can say more but i don't feel like it. hope this helped a lil

Hajimemashite - How do you do?
Douzo yoroshiku - Nice to meet you

Boku wa ___ - My name is ___
____ suki - I like ____
____ jouzu - I'm good at ____
Anata mo? And you?

Hai, ee, un - Yes (from most to least polite)
Iie, uun (hold the U longer) - No (same way)

Nani? - What?
Yukkuri onegaishimasu - Could you say it slower?

If you're daring...

Minnasan konbanwa eiga o mitai ka? - Hey guys, you want to see a movie tonight?

After the movie Yokatta ne? - That was good, wasn't it?

Or something like Ashita, isshoni nanika shimashou - We should do something together tomorrow

Ja ne - See you later

Anata wa genki? How are you?
Daijobu / Daijobu? - I'm alright / Are you alright?

Hontou? - Really?
Doushite? - Why?


This should do you for now. Tell me if you need anything else.

if you really need help and have about $30 you can go to Barns And Noble and get japanese for dummies :vsign: so you get some basic things......

iku - to go
iku zo - we're going/lets go

nani(yo)/nanda yo(more boy-ish)- what is it/what [note: yo isnt pronounced like the way some people greet each other with "yo whats up" or whatever way you may use "yo"]

iie - no (umm im not sure what language you speak silversoraryuu, but i dont think we need to switch the sounds)

@silversoraryuu - hitoshi....= wth???
umm i dont think its a good idea to watch anime and write out what you THINK youre hearing, especially if youre trying to "teach" someone

He could have meant Hitori (one person)

yeah maybe, but it might be because ive been to japan for 5 weeks, and have been listening to jmusic for several years already,
but i find it hard to mistake hitoshi and hitori by hearing o_O"

and he said it was something along the lines of 'my'...o_O"

My would be watashi mo

did you make a typo?

should be
My ..... = watashi no .....

silversoraryuu isn't careful about his spelling...which is kinda important in answering a question like this.

Are you just a type of troll I've never seen before? All of that was so wrong it makes me sick. Stop trying to help people with the language before you learn it yourself.

Yes... sorry about that heh. Haven't slept in two days, exams are a bitch

Thats understandable being that m and n are right next to each other, any one could have made that slight error. :cool:

Wakarimasu - do you understand.
that one helped me out a lot when my friend shogo came to stay with me.
then of corse there are the easy ones like
inu - dog
neko - cat
midori - green
ichi - one
ni - two
san - three
yon - four
baka - idoit [this ones used a lot with my friends]
pika pika - shiny shiny
made - wait
ikemasho - hurry [demanding]
try looking for pimslers learning japanese, it's really good.
~ sumimasen, ego ga wakarimasu ka~
~ iie, watashi wa ego ga wakarimasen, anata no nihongo ga wakarimasu ka
~ hai, watashi wa nihongo ga skoshi [don't know how to spell] wakarimasu
basically i just typed
~ excuse me do you understand english?
~ no i don't do you understand japanese?
~ yes, a little.
i'm going off on a rant now aren't i? lol, hope this helps

i got these list of words from my friend don't lame me

i can teach u some japanese grammer rulez, it helps more than just knowing the word. i'll start wit verb rulz

making sumthing present and positive u add /masu/ on to it

Ex: wakarimasu
i understand

making sumthing past and positive u add /masita/ on to it

Ex: ikimasita
i went

making sumthing present and negetive u add /masen/ on to it

Ex: wakarimasen
i don't understand

making sunthing past and negative u add /masen desita/ on to it

Ex: ikimasen desita
i didn't go

NOTE: this only works with verb and makes no sense if it's use with words that aren't verbs
