2011-11-22T20:50:00.000-08:00

from Yakitate!! Japan

Boy: It was really delicious, Japan person! (or Japan brother)

Kazuma: Yeah!

Boy: See ya~

Kazuma: See ya!

Boy: Bye bye! Oh, that's right! When I grow up, I'll become a baker who won't lose to you!

Kazuma: Yeah! I won't loose either

男の子：本当　おいしかったよ、ジャパンおにいちゃん！

かずま：お～！

男の子：じゃね～

かずま：またな！

男の子：バイバイ！あ、そうだ！ぼくも大きくなったら、おにいちゃんに負けないパンやになったらね。

Otoko no ko: Hontou oishikatta yo, Japan onii-chan!

Kazuma: Oh~!

Otoko no ko: Ja ne~

Kazuma: Mata na!

Otoko no ko: Bye bye! Ah, sou da! Boku mo ookikunattara, oniichan ni makenai panya ni nattara ne.

Kazuma: Ooh! Ore mo makenai!

** Notes:

oishii - delicious

pan - bread

panya - baker or bakery (depends on the context of the sentence)

makeru - to lose; to be defeated (add -nai, then it negates the meaning)

* This conversation is really informal and uses a lot of shortcuts. :)

It's a date! ♥

from Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai

(Calling You)

Shinya: Hey, Ryou. This weekend... Will you go on a date with me?

Ryou: Eh? (that means yes! well she's shocked at first though..lol)

しんや：な、りょう。週末…ぼくとデートしないか。

りょう：え？

Shinya: Na, Ryou. Shuumatsu... Boku to de-to shinai ka?

Ryou: Eh?

** BRB while I fangirl.

** Okay, I'm back!

** In case you're all wondering, nope they're not literally together when that conversation happened. They're using their mental cellphones. Yep, you got it. Mental cellphones. Now you've gotta watch the movie. ;)

You are not alone.

from Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai

(Calling You)

You are not alone.

あなたは一人じゃない。

Anata wa hitori ja nai.

** Notes:

anata - you

hitori - one person; alone

dewa arimasen (more polite) - means not; negative of 'desu' (ex. KP-san wa kankokujin dewa arimasen. - ケイピさんは韓国人ではありません。- KP is not a Korean.)

ja arimasen (still polite) - means not

ja nai (informal; commonly used between friends) - means not

* This is from a Japanese movie that I once watched. The movie's really good! However, I forgot what it was. haha. All I could remember was that certain dialogue was used as a motivation to his friend - saying that she is not alone, that he will always there beside him no matter what. ^^ I might update this if I get to remember the title of the movie. :)

Update:
Found the title of the movie! Yipeee! Highly recommended. :D

An order of cappuccino please!

from Coffee House ep1

Seung Yeon: Would you like to place an order?

Jin Su: Can I get a cappuccino?

Seung Yeon: One cappuccino... Are you having it for take-out?

Jin Su: No. I'll drink it here.

Seung Yeon: Alright.

승연: 주문하시겠어요?

진수: 카푸치노 되나요?

승연: 카푸치노 한 잔이요... 가지고 가실건가요?

진수: 아니요. 여기서 마실 거예요.

승연: 네.

Seung Yeon: Jumunha shikessoyo?

Jin Su: Kapuchino dwenayo?

Seung Yeon: Kapuchino han janiyo... kachigo kashilgongayo?

Jin Su: Aniyo. Yogi mashil goyeyo.

Seung Yeon: Ne.

** Notes:
jumunhada - (v) to place (an order)
dwenayo - can (ex. Can you buy me a concert ticket?)
yogi - here
mashida - to drink

* Coffee House is a really good Korean drama. It has a storyline that is pretty much unpredictable all the time! Its plot is unique and refreshing to the viewers. Only one con I could say is how its ending went. I was kind of not satisfied with it. But that's just me. Over-all it's a pretty good watch! :)

Ojou-sama in a Maid Café

2011-11-20T20:06:00.000-08:00

from Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo ep4

(A Japanese Who Doesn't Know Japanese) ^o^

Haruko: [Entered the maid cafe. Surprised when two maids greeted them.] Waa!

Maids: Welcome home, lady!

Haruko: What?! They're calling us "lady"! [happy Haruko lol]

Katori: They always call me that at home though.

Haruko: Eh?

はるこ：わあ！

メイド：お帰りなさいませ、お嬢様！

はるこ：えっ！うちらお嬢様だって！

かとり：家ではいつもそう呼ばれてますけど。

はるこ：え？

Haruko: Waa!

Meido: Okaerinasaimase, ojou-sama!

Haruko: Eh?! Uchira ojou-sama datte!

Katori: Ie de wa itsumo sou yobaretemasu kedo.

Haruko: Eh?

** Notes:

~mase - is added to increase the politeness of a greeting

ojou-sama - another's daughter; daughter of a high-class family

uchira - us

ie - house; home

yobareru - to be called (a name); to be referred to (as)

* This conversation is informal; usually among friends. :)

* I highly recommend this J-drama to anyone who is enthusiastic in learning Japanese!

Not only is it hilarious, but you really learn a lot of Nihongo and Japanese culture as well! :D
