Japanese slang, insults and curse words!

みなさん、こんにちは!  Today I’m going to go over some of my favorite slang, insults and curse words.

Note: You should only use the insults/curse words when defending yourself or joking with close friends. Otherwise it is very impolite and people will not want to be your friend.

I know some people might not want to learn slang and insults/curse words, but even if you dont plan on using them, it’s still good to know them. Maybe your japanese friends will use some of these words. Lets say one night your walking home from the bar late at night and some drunk guy starts insulting you. He starts to get to close for comfort and if you know the right words to use,there is a good chance you will scare him off. So let’s get started! 

その  どやがお  やめて!
Sono doyagao yamete!
Wipe that smug look off your face.
You can use this when someone is overly cocky or bragging a lot.

やばい
Yabai- Dangerous or risky
When used as slang it could mean “good” or “bad.”
Example:
“Kore yabai yo!” Could mean “This is dangerous!” or “This is good, isn’t it.”
Can be used like “oh no” in english.

もんく あっか？
Monku akka?- Do you have a problem?/what’s your problem?

ばか じゃない の？
Baka ja nai no?- are you stupid?/you’re not stupid, are you?
Note: baka ja nai means “not stupid”, but adding “no” at the end makes it an informal question. You should say the “no” with a rising intonation.

なに して の あほ？
Nani shite no aho?- what are you doing idiot?

なに はなして の あほ？
Nani hanashite no aho?- what are you talking about idiot?

しね めすぶた ども！

Please remember not to go to Japan throwing these words around. It would be very disrespectful, but feel free to use them on your american friends LOL 

ありがとう ございます！
Arigatou gozaimasu!
Thank You!

アオハライド ヾ(oﾟωﾟo)ﾉﾞAo Haru Ride a.k.a Blue Spring Ride✿ฺ

Ao Haru Ride is just another typical shoujo school romance with familiar repeated storylines, love rivals, predictable dialogue and generic characters. Does this mean this anime is not worth watching? Absolutely not. As someone who is guilty of watching many shoujo romances, I knew this anime would be put in my backlog the moment I heard it was coming out.

The story is about two former middle schooled students, Kou Mabuchi and Futaba Yoshioka, reuniting in high school who unintentionally rekindle their romance. Sounds familiar? Well it should because it's so generic. On top of that we have our typical love rivals and multiple proclamations of love between the main and supporting characters. As I was watching this I wondered why I consistently enjoy watching shoujou anime; you can predict the dialogue and you know exactly what's going to happen in each scene. After watching Ao Haru Ride I came to the conclusion that it's all about the characters and the quality of comedy. Although all the typical storylines with every shoujo romance has already been executed plenty of times in the anime world, it's all about the unique comedy that's keeps me coming back to watch more and more. I had a hard time trying to remember and episode where I did not laugh or find amusement in some of the scenes.

With most anime adaptations the characters are animated similar to that of the art in the manga, there's nothing special in terms of this. However, Ao Haru Ride manages to add it's own eye-pleasing artistic touch by brining flashback scenes to life by using a watercolour art style to animate these parts of the anime. Now I must admit when the anime started I was a bit hesitant to continue after the first five minutes because this watercolour style was used. And if the anime continued as so, it might ruin my whole experience watching; yes the watercolour scenes were nice but it was too aesthetically pleasing to continue the anime if it were so. Little to my knowledge the first scene of the anime is a flashback scene and the anime goes on to present time without the watercolored style (as seen in the gifs).

As with most shoujo anime, the sound and music are not standouts or even noticeable when watching. Ao Haru Ride is no exception to this. Although the opening and ending credits were very nice to listen to, the soundtrack was not a memorable one.

Characters are what make or break an anime. With Ao Haru Ride, it was refreshing to learn that none of the characters were unlikeable (even the love rivals tugged on my heartstrings). The other reason why I said I enjoyed shoujo anime is because of the characters. In Ao Haru Ride the ultimate focus is the interesting relationship with the main characters, Kou and Futaba. Kou Mabuchi comes from a broken family, which has effected his personality and how he lives his everyday life - his effected personality branches with his love interest Futaba and causes rifts within their relationship. But as the anime progresses we see how Futaba resolves Kou's issues and ultimately transforms Kou's personality around for the better. If I could describe both Kou and Futaba's personality in one word, Kou would be reticent whereas Futaba would be complex.

Ultimately it's the characters that orchestrate the enjoyment of an shoujo or any anime for that fact. All of them had either made me smile, laugh, or pay closely attention when watching. I happened to marathon this anime in one day if that says anything about how much I enjoyed this. As I was watching I didn't feel like the anime was rushed, even though it was 12 episodes - the fluidity from each story to story felt natural and not forced. 

If you're looking to add another shoujo to your list, watch Ao Haru Ride, you won't be disappointed.Otherwise there is little remarkable about the show. The seiyuu performances are solid and the art and animation are consistently good. It’s clear this series is intended as a gateway into a long running manga series. Here we only find an introduction to the story, with very little resolved at the end other than learning a little bit about Kou. It’s a decent romance, with perhaps a slightly more mature look at love than most, but it doesn’t set itself apart from the others in the genre.

Looking for Alaska by john green

Well..well i actually prefer to read romance comics rather than novels (probably because too thick xD) 

I when to a bookstores 2 weeks ago .. 

when I saw this book, you know the terms of love at the first sight? LOL

Then i bought this book .

i love john green book . Of course !! after  read and watch the fault in our stars. 

and that attracted my attention from jogn green books is the ... title. 

Yeah ! the title of the book was very interesting xD (idk why random thought)

Psssst .... SPOILER! (￣▽￣)

I don’t know how to write this review. I don’t think I was really prepared for this book even though I read all of John Green’s books; ironically, I read this one last, but this is actually his first and all I have to say about this is: REALLY? This is John Green’s first book? Holy $£%^! Expletives aside, I was expecting something I didn’t get, but what I got was so much better. This is probably his most serious and thoughtful book which is to say a lot, because all of his books are to some extent, serious and thoughtful. It is also a painful book to read but I didn’t know how much until the halfway mark when BAM, surprise, surprise and this is partly what makes this review a difficult one to write because Looking for Alaska is a book that can’t be spoiled and I therefore, can’t discuss some parts of the story the way I would have wanted – but I believe this is for the Ultimate Good because this is a Wonderful Book!

Are these Grandiose Exclamations with Capital Letters really a necessity, you might be asking yourself, to wit, I say, yes, yes they are and they are actually quite fitting as well, given as how this book deals with the meaning of life, with guilt and grief, with last words and first loves; all from the point of view of Miles Halter, 16 year old, a skinny, nerdy guy. He is friendless, lonely, and his greatest quirk is to read biographies in search of last words. François Rabelais’s is:

“I go to seek a Great Perhaps.” and is in search of his Great Perhaps that Miles decides to attend the Culver Creek Boarding School where he hopes to start anew. There he makes friends with his roommate Chip, aka “the Colonel” (who immediately starts calling Miles, Pudge) , a guy named Takumi and their best friend, a girl called Alaska Young. Alaska is the wild, beautiful, intelligent, moody, mysterious, unattainable girl whom Miles falls irrevocably in love with.

The book is divided between Before and After and I did not know (for a change I went in completely unspoiled) what is going to be the pivotal point of divide until it hits but there is an inescapable sense of dread as the days pass, building the After. The event is indeed calamitous and it’s only when it happens that the different between the Before and After becomes oh, so clear. The Before is made up of routine, of monotony, of mundane happenings: kids going to classes, coming up with pranks, drinking, smoking, doing stupid things, hooking up and talking to each other about Stuff like Simón Bolívar’s last words:

‘How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!”

So what’s the labyrinth?’ I asked her…

That’s the mystery, isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape- the world or the end of it?”

This “labyrinth” becomes a central discussion encompassing all characters at one point, when the After comes. That’s when the book loses the mundane and reaches the momentous. And it is a grave, serious, painful and genuine journey until we are able to close the book.

I loved Miles because I recognised quite a bit of my teenage self in him. This sense of knowing exactly how certain things are and feel is definitely a plus when trying to understand a character. Even though Alaska is not a favourite (Too moody? Too mysterious? Too fantastic? ) , I can certainly get why Miles would fall in love with her so easily and so abruptly because I know how some people have a certain gravitational field that entrance others. But in any case, I don’t think that the book is about Alaska any more than Paper Towns was about Margo Roth Spiegelman. The girls are mirrors or windows from which to observe the boy-narrator’s lives and this is perhaps my greatest criticisms: that the girls are more out of this world, impossible realities that serve more as plot-propeller than concrete characters in themselves. I am sure some will disagree with me, but this is how I felt about both Margo Roth Spiegelman and Alaska Young and to some extent I feel these girls deserved more. BUT and this is a great but, as I said before the books ARE more about how these two influence and touch the guys’ lives so my point might as well be moot.

John Green’s prose is insanely good writing because it is the kind of writing that creeps in little by little and it’s like I start reading a paragraph and it seems like any regular paragraph in the world of books, until I reach its end and then it hits me and I realise that there is more beauty in one single paragraph of a John Green book than in entire book collections out there.

But what makes John Green’s books wonderful books to me is the fact that I think about them, about the decisions and revelations and lines for hours and days in a row. Sometimes, I forget the name of the characters, sometimes, I forget the details of the stories, but I have yet to forget the ideas and the meaning and the feelings that I felt when I read his books. 

At one point, Miles thinks (with regards to Alaska):

So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.

And I think this is an apt way of describing John Green’s books as well. Most books are drizzle but John Green’s are totally hurricanes.

Notable Quotes/Parts: Some wonderful quotes from the book:

What the hell is instant? Nothing is instant. Instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. I doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.

We were kissing.

I thought: This is good.

I thought: I am not bad at this kissing. Not bad at all.

I thought: I am clearly the greatest kisser in the history of the universe.

Suddenly she laughed and pulled away from me. She wiggled a hand out of her sleeping bag and wiped her face. “You slobbered on my nose,” she said, and laughed.

If you love a funny,romantic,Dramatic and a story that will warm your heart this is the book for you!

Thanks for reading!!

日本語を学びましょう。✿ヾ╲(｡◕‿◕｡)╱✿ lets learn japanese!!

hi all...

I will give you an overview on how to speak, write and read the Japanese language. This segment is added to help and aid those who would love to learn the language and are unable to join professional courses due to lack of time for proper class or other reasons, for those who would like to get  a feel of the Language and would be motivated to join proper classes later on.

I would also try my level best in helping out those of you who’ve already been taking classes and are about to or will be taking the JLPT exams. However, before we begin, one needs to understand that the best way to learn is always to find a professional teacher who has attained a degree in the language and as a teacher. Since I have neither, I hope you understand that my knowledge is limited.^^”. You are always welcome to share your views, ask questions when in doubt and I will do my best to answer as fast as I can.>o<. With that, let us begin! ^o^FACTS That you will need to know :

• The Japanese language is called “nihongo”in Japanese, where Nihon means Japan and “go” means language.  :) 

• The Japanese language has four scripts, 

1. “Hiragana” - This script is used to write any word that has Japanese origins. Like, “tamago”(egg). 
2. “Katakana” - This script is used to write any word that has foreign origins. Like, “Pascon” (Personal Computer) 
3. “Kanji” - This script is used to pictorially depict any word. The Japanese language has many similar sounding words but different Kanji to explain the difference in meaning. Kanji might sound like a curse, but as you slowly learn to be at home with the language you will start to appriciate the benifits of having Kanji. 
4. “Romaji” is the term used when Japanese is written using the Roman/Latin script. I will be using Romaji along with the other three scripts, using each at appropriate places. If all goes well, you too will be able to read and undersand all four soon. :)

Unlike any of the tutorials on the net, I want to teach you guys how to write and read along with how to speak. ^_^. After all, wouldn’t  you just love to be able to stare at those Japanese alphabets you see while watching anime and exclaim “HEY,I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!”? During my initial days of learning, every time I could recogonise a Kanji, it used to give me a thrill! :D. So while learning, let's learn it properly!Pronunciation of alphabets


The Japanese language has 46 basic alphabets, 25 modified alphabets and a few combined alphabets. This is true for both Hiragana and Katakana script. However, these are very easy to learn and remember. So, let us begin. ^o^
Basic alphabets:

a	i	u	e	o
ka	ki	ku	ke	ko
sa	shi	su	se	so
ta	chi	tsu	te	to
na	ni	nu	ne	no
ha	hi	fu	he	ho
ma	mi	mu	me	mo
ya		yu		yo
ra	ri	ru	re	ro
wa				wo
n

 Modified alphabets:

ga	gi	gu	ge	go
za	ji	zu	ze	zo
da	ji	zu	de	do
ba	bi	bu	be	bo
pa	pi	pu	pe	po

The combined alphabets are made adding “ya, yu and yo” to the “ki, gi, shi, ji, chi, ji, ni, hi, bi, pi, mi and ri” alphabets.  This will look and feel easier after you’ve practiced a fair few times. Don’t be afraid and give it a try.Combined alphabets:

kya	kyu	kyo
gya	gyu	gyo
sha	shu	sho
jya	jyu	jyo
chya	chyu	chyo
jya	jyu	jyo
nya	nyu	nyo
hya	hyu	hyo
bya	byu	byo
pya	pyu	pyo
mya	my	myo
rya	ryu	ryo

Here are the Japanese counterparts of the above, In both Hiragana and Katakana.
Now, you need to know that Japanese language has five vowels “a,i,u,e,o” and the remaining alphabets barring “n” are consonants that have been combined with the five vowels. “n” is a standalone consonant and sometimes its pronunciation changes to “m”. However, at all times, the written form remains “n”.
Some Fun Stuff
I once was trying to ask someone if they liked “chiken” (chicken), but the ‘e’ sound came out as an ‘a’ sound, turning it into “chikan,” which means pervert! Needless to say they were alarmed and confused—and it took me a bit to realize why!

........................

It’s a really fun, and not to mention cute, language! If you know English, and obviously you do if you’ve made it this far through the interview, you’ll already know a huge chunk of Japanese vocabulary.

That’s right, Japanese borrows from English—a lot! Don’t believe me? Let’s play a game where you try to guess the Japanese word:

Buruu berii (ブルーベリー)

Blueberry!

Koka ko-ra (コカコーラ)

Coca-cola!

Aisu kuriimu (アイスクリーム)

Ice cream!

1. Favorite word in the language. 

Ugh, this was really hard! I love so many words just for the accent or tone you say them in. After thinking long and hard I was finally able to narrow it down to two words that I love:

Meccha (めっちゃ) which is really just a word to show emphasis, similar to “very,” like meccha kawaii—“very cute.” It’s from a specific dialect only in Osaka, which where I used to live, so it really confuses other Japanese people when I use it. I guess it makes me sound more local!

My second favorite word is yabai（やばい). This word is slang for awesome, awful, horrible, cool, and dangerous. Yup, all those things all in one. So the next time your friend asks you how something was, simply reply “yabai” and let them do the guessing as to what you mean!

2. A word that doesn’t translate directly to English.

Omiyage. This word often gets mistakenly translated as the word “souvenir,” but it’s so much more than that. It’s hard to explain without getting into it, and I’ve written a whole article on it before, but to put it shortly, an omiyage is a gift you’re obligated to buy, usually for coworkers, and it often comes in the form of food.

3. A gesture in this language that differs from English.

If someone touches their pointer finger to their thumb creating a circle, that doesn’t mean OK! It’s actually the gesture for money. To give the OK sign, you’re supposed to shape your arms above your hand to make an ‘O.’ Think YMCA, only… O!

4. Any insane grammatical features/pronunciation/usage rules that blew your mind as a native English speaker. 

There are different ways to say “I don’t know.” One way implies that you don’t know because you don’t understand and the other implies you don’t know because you’ve never learned it. They are not interchangeable and using it incorrectly can create a lot of confusion.

5. Tell us a funny story or mistranslation you made in your language learning process. 

and its my favorite phrase 

一期一会 (ichi-go ichi-e) “One time, one meeting.”

This phrase reminds you to take every opportunity, as it may never come again.
