Q

Delicious

A

“oishii” or “umai”. The latter is informal, crude and used by male adults tho (and can also mean “skillful”). It can get worse by using the trend of double “ee” at the end (umee) to make it more manly/agresive

Q

shiranai

A

wakaranai means you tried to know/understand something, but couldn’t; shiranai means you haven’t heard about it at all!

Warning: if someone asks “Do you know where x is?” and you reply “shirimasen” it sounds like you don’t care, while “wakarimasen” sounds like you wish you could help but don’t know

Q

No thank you

A

(iie,) ii desu (I’m good) or (iie,) kekkou desu (I’m fine, meaning you don’t need what’s being offered). The “iie” can be omitted. ii desu could also be taken as “that would be good” so perhaps kekkou desu is better

Q

ike!

A

Get out of here! (rude)

50
Q

kure yo

A

“kure” is the (rude/strong) command form of kureru and means “give it to me!”. Used in conjunction with another verb, you get the rude command “do this for me”. E.g. “yammete kure yo!”

51
Q

I’m sleepy

A

nemui (dayoo)

52
Q

da yo

A

“da” is a casual form of “desu”. E.g. tenki (weather) ga warui da yo = The weather is bad (you probs didn’t know, better take an umbrella). So, da yo is kinda like “you know” (incluso es una muletilla para algunos también :o)

53
Q

deshou

A

It’s a common form of desu. Based on the examples, I’d say it’s equal to “isn’t that so?” but it can also be used as “Most likely/Surely”

A

itta deshou

55
Q

73
Q

shut up

A

If it’s a friendly “oh, shut up!” you urusai, urusei, or uzee (in order of increasing roughness; they mean noisy). shizuka ni shite kudasai is “please be quiet”. damaru means “to not speak or take action”, and the imperative damare is basically the equivalent of “sit the f down and shut the f up”

74
Q

but

A

でも or だって (the latter is cute/childish)

75

Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau! (teki means enemies, kurau es devorar (en lugar de sólo comer (taberu))
