Matte yo= wait up

kawaii= cute

ja ne= see ya

pan= bread

dan= gang

jari boy= bratty boy

neko ni koban= gold coins to cats

kitto= I'm sure

Hari Pota wa Igirisu-jin desu.

Not Really... Its a Thing... a Type Of Thing...

[RockItShipper]

I have a Japanese/American and vice-versa dictionary with that particular info I just said. I will say, however, that I have lots of Hentai doujinshi (fan-comics) that are beyond disgusting.

The bug-metamorphis definition might make the whole "Ranma no hentai" bit a pun, with the way the title character of Ranma 1/2 transforms from male to female

[kiddiesunshine]

domo arigato, shipper, for proving me right. i learned hentai from ranma 1/2 when ranma sees akane naked. how dare someone tell me i'm wrong...

It's not? Huh. That's what I was told it meant. First I thought it meant... Uh, I won't post it here, but then someone told me that's what it really meant. Oh well.

[Batmex]

Ohaio:Good morning

[kiddiesunshine]

kieuseru!=die
i actually learned that from power stone 2.
ohayoo gozaimasu=good morning (formal)
koo koo=high school (not sure)
"honki de ichi masu!"=this one's for real! (bushido blade)
sumi masen=sorry about that.
daijyobu?=are you ok?

[RockItShipper]

Kuso is actually short for Chikuso. "Ash" says the shortened form quite a bit in Japan.

Omae o koruso- I'm going to kill you

RE: Hentai... I think the meaning's run away a bit, particularly with slang. And learning Japanese from anime does give one more sense of the everyday, youth-centered language. Hentai, it would seem to me, means various things connected with perversion, as well as bug metamorphosis... It's just a matter of defining upon context and taking into account different definitions of what is perverse to begin with.

Sailor Mercury was called a hentai when she mentioned 2 gay guys at her school in the first Sailor Moon movie.

Ranma gets into various situations where he is called a hentai, and I think it plays into the bug metamorphosis meaning as well.

As related to doujinshi/fan-comics... I'm pulling some of mine out right now. #1... The kid with the "Bellsprout" and "Brock" are vying for "Ash's" attention, more or less. That is the realm of shouen ai, boy love. #2 has "Henry" having a fever dream about Little Red Riding Takato and Takato telling "Henry" he wants to be his girlfriend. Shouen ai. #3 starts with "Ash" at home with his mom and I'd like to stop there. Hentai all right. #4 starts with Takato and "Henry" eating cherries and it progresses into Hentai terrain from there, but the end seems to indicate that Takato is dreaming.
