Let's Learn Japanese

I can't remember all the Rin beasts that there were. If you can list them all I can give you the translations.

As for the "Happy Birthday", you wishing someone a happy birthday or did you want to know how to say it in nihongo?

If you want it translated then it's these translations:

Happy - shiawase (na); koufuku (na); ureshii
Birthday - tanjoubi
Happy Birthday - otanjoubiomedetougozaimasu

Not only do I use my handheld dictionary but I also use this site incase I can't find a word I'm looking for.

Japanese to English / English to Japanese

Cool. Know a site that will show what like 2348 Yen is equal to in American currency???

That is the site I was referring to earlier.

Sites tend to show the Kanjis and now how it's spelled in English letters.

That would be romaji. Say if a word has a long 'O' then it's written out as 'ou' for example. It just takes getting use to it so it's easy to write the word without as many letters.

As for sites that translate currency.....not sure. Ryuki gave me a link awhile back. Let me see if I can find it. Hold on a sec....here's acouple of sites.

Okay. Because I was thinking of buying the Kamen Rider Blade DVDs so I can watch them as I work on stories for Spade Warrior, which is my take on Blade.

What about "Sister" as in younger sibling??? Like GoPink was to the other members of GoGo V.

Yeah. Onee-san is ment for older sister....let me look for little sister.

Well, on is "Shisuta".....

my younger sister - imooto

Here are some sites I found.

Try these sites. I find them very helpfull.

Is there a "Merry Christmas" in Japanese or do they say it the same way we do???

Yes there is, it's Meri kurisumasu
I checked for it on My Webpage just type in the word you are looking for and click OK and there you go.

Basically the same way we do. The biggest indication is that Gekiranger episode.

Otaku (O- Ta- Ku) - Anime geek or anime nerd

What a lot of us are.

That looks like the tiger from Gaorangers or Wild Force.

Yeah. I chose white tiger as my user name for a reason.

The actress that played Alyssa Enrile? I got two pictures of her that were autographed. I got them through another source, who was then given to me by our former Pastor of our church. Not only that, she also gave me a 5" figure of her which was also autographed.

That's awesome, Aniki.


And the Tiger in Bethany's signature IS the Tiger Wild Zord. The one in her Avatar is General Whiger's Animal Spirit.

Uh.....technically, that would be wrong.

Otaku is a word meant as an insult to someone who is way to overly obsessed with something in general.

Be it anime, tokusatsu, music, movies, games, manga, comics, etc...

Anime is just the most modern type of Otaku out there so it's easy to get Otaku mixed up as only being refered to an Anime Geek.

Anyone can be an otaku it just depends on their obsession of a sertain media.

Now, even if Otaku is considered an insult, some people will actually take it as a compliment if they feel that they really are an otaku and don't deny the accusation.


If that definition you got came from a friend or a website then they really need to update their Japanese as the definition I got comes from someone who is fluent in Japanese. That is my Japanese language professor back at my old college.

Sorry, I don't want to come off as a smart a** but it's just something that's commonly misinterpreted.

If you really want some translation to these words try this site. http://www.freedict.com/onldict/jap.html

I know that one. I use it all the time and a lot of the words I look up it doesn't have so I have to go to Durendal and Ryuki back over at JL for those translations.

Like how I needed help with Werewolf and one definition was the word Jinrou.

I wonder what brother means in japanese ?

Don't you mean "What is 'Brother' in Japanese?"??? That's been posted. Look & see.
