Bleach captains made me look up japanese numbers. I can now count from 0 to 100 in japanese, could do more if I wasn't so lazy.

Matthew Howard
I did all the Nip courses my uni had to offer (20 credits), still don't know shit. Used to know up to 600 moonrunes and studied for JLPT 2, was all in vain.
My grasp of Japanese is so bad I can't even pick out when characters have different accents or speak in a way that marks them as unusual. I can barely tell their voices apart.

Was it just a case of butthurt mod autism or was there a legit reason for it?

Nothing feels better than helping people and getting paid.
Lucas Phillips
Do like most translators - guess. All you need is basic knowledge to identify if something is a verb/noun/adjective. The rest is just checking the word in dictionary and construing some sort of sentence out of it.
Landon Torres
I can't tell if you're being ironic or not since those are the easiest part.
John Johnson
Butthurt mod autism and a really vocal minority of autists that the butthurt autist mods decided to pander to for some reason.

Itterashai - I'm off/I'm leaving Kaze - wind Umi - da Hoshi - star Janai (yo) - is not Desu - it is Jii-chan - grandpa Baka desu ka? - It/they is/are stupid? Baka desu - It/they is/are stupid. Itsumo - always Anata/kimi - you Watashi/boku/ore/anta/atashi - I Mawaru - circle Guruguru - spinning Fuwa fuwa - shiny Kawaii - cute Sugoi - amazing/cool/incredible Inu - dog Neko/nyanko - cat/kitty Tanuki - raccoon but with big balls TATAKAEEEEE - FIIIIIIIIGHT Oh for fuck's sake I've learned all the basics just from being a weeb, it'd take forever to list every word/phrase/sentence I know.
It's a slow way of learning if you aren't paying attention, but there was a point in time where I forced myself to watch anime without subs and even then I was able to figure what new words meant. It's how toddlers learn to speak, after all. Once they hear a word 500-1000 times, they know its meaning.

What happened to the DJT
Elijah Mitchell
last time I saw it the mods had moved it to Sup Forums, then some of those guys left and made another one on /jp/. I stopped going after that.
Levi Miller
Banned for being shit. You don't need it to learn Japanese anyway.

There's more of them, but that's all I know from the top of my head.
Benjamin Davis
Almost everybody recognizes it because the reactions are not the same as back then. That, or this thread is full of retards.
Parker Sanchez
Ecchi sketchy one touchy
Levi Flores
The one everybody knows: >Yamero -Stop >Nani - What >Arigatou - Thanks >kawaii - qte >Ittadakimasu - "Buon appetito" >Neko - cat
The Ones I think I know what they mean: >Monogatari - Story >Gomennasai - I'm sorry (sometime they say even just GOME So i deducted japanese must be an additive language) >Jitensha - bycicle. >Ocha - Tea >Gohan - Food (maybe some meal in particular? I know from my dragonball days that it's supposed to mean rice. But I've seen it used in a way that looked pretty "general" I could be 100% wrong) >Imbo - Conspiration.
There are probably more, But I cannot remember now. I never checked them, So They could all be wrong, feel free to tell me if that's the case.

You don't *have* to be super-polite, you know. You ought to know how textbooks exaggerate the significance of 'politeness' in any language. If you bring the stuff from textbooks directly into true conversation, it will always stilted and unnatural. If you made a Japanese friend in order to help yourself learn the language, went to lunch with them, and said something like "watakushi ni, kocchi wa umai na tabemasu-mono de gozasu", they'd look at you like you were fucking insane.
Andrew Clark

Thomas Rodriguez
Ochai is black tea, Gomen is "excuse me" and -nasai intensifies it, like adding "fucking" to a phrase, so it's like saying "fucking excuse me!"
Hunter Wood
Jokes aside - if, for some maddening reason, you actually wanted to put a rude slant to "gomen", you'd change it to "gomenna".
Ryder Lewis
Is there any language that doesn't do that? >kill yourself >>impolite >would you please consider killing yourself >>polite

Does this retarded shit really make you laugh?
Because if I were you, some pasty nerd sat in his mom's basement, looking at these dumb as fuck, unfunny images while going "HA! I recognise SOME of these words!" after watching weeb shit for multiple years, I'd probably just fucking kill myself.
Why don't these threads just remind you of how utterly worthless you are, being unable to learn weeb because of your own laziness?
Camden Collins
