Inspired by fon|sl4y3r's series of German lessons, and for want of something to occupy my time, I thought I might share a few phrases of Japanese. And I've selected a few which might especially come in handy for communicating with the BF2 world's highest scoring player.
I spent a few years in Japan and I can generally get by in Japanese, but these have all been run past native speakers anyway, so there are no dodgy Babelfish translations here. Also, the two sets of phrases are natural equivalents and not literal translations. As for pronunciation, who cares - just type it!
On Volx's team:
Sugoi!
Wow!
Yaru ne!
You're good!
Sasu ga sekaiichi da ne!
No wonder you're number one in the world!
Volx tte ore no hero da yo!
Volx is my hero!
Kin medaru 1000-ko gurai kashite kurenai ka na?
Do you reckon you could lend me about 1000 gold medals?
On the other team:
Kakatte koi!
Bring it on!
Koukai suru zo, kono yarou!
You'll regret that, you son of a bitch!
Karkand de 1400-jikan yatte mo akinai no ka?
Aren't you sick of Karkand after 1400 hours?
Heli ga attara futtobashite yaru no ni!
If there were helis I would blow you away!
Hontou wa 12-sai no hikikomori ja nai?
I think you're actually a 12-year-old hikikomori.
Hmmm, that about covers everything... I'll check back from time to time, so let me know if there's anything else you want to say and I'll do my best to get back to you!
