No, "mada mada dane" is correct.
It simply means, "not quite there yet, huh?"

yah your right
i heard it in a anime called prince of tennis ^^

mada mada da-ne

Probably the words "ohaiyo". or even still simpler "hai"

I remember thinking "Hey, that sounds like english."

but the one word I remember early on that stuck with me is "Inuyasha" My japanese friend didn't know what it was at first. So that word has a special place in my memory.

silly, huh?

.steadfast.

ohyou means good morning right?

yep, Hello/good morning.

Konnichi wa is used when it's midday or the afternoon.

Moshi Moshi .... :mrgreen:

Hai ..
:mrgreen:

banzai

Very first word I heard was from my mother, actually. She was an army brat, and went around to all sorts of places. Ohayo was the first word I ever heard, and it was from her. I find it funny the first Japanese word I heard was out of a southern American's mouth. LOL

I think the first word I heard from someone who was actually Japanese was arigatou. After that, it was gomen, baka, and nani... :D

Hello... My first post here on the board! :mrgreen:

The first Japanese words that I can remember hearing were...

Sayonara
Domo Arigato Gozaimasu
Samurai
Moshi Moshi

My first japanese words was "Sayonara", I heard when I watched Gaban serial at the video I rent when I was in first grade. I always like that kind of serial tv shows, in that time we only can watched it by rent them.

If i remember that time i always laugh becoz of how silly im. :))

my folks used to take me to japanese restaurant when
i was small and i remember i was told my first japanese word,
'OISHII'...

-sayonara
-arigatou
-baka
-hai

Konnichiwa, we used to say it in primary school year 4. When we answered the register we weren't allowed to say it in English, they taught us hello/good morning etc. in about 20 different languages and we had to choose one ha ha
But when I actually got into Japan the first words I heard and learnt were the ones that everyone hears/ picks up first

- Kawaii
- Baka
- Hai
- Arigatou

Words like Konnichiwa, mushi mushi, Sayonara were revisited in Secondary School in Geography when we had to do a poster on Japan XD. Oh and they taught us to count to 10 in Japanese in some learning event at school in prep for our GCSE's in year 10/11 I never forgot ^__^ the way they taught us was good. We matched the numbers to actions for example ichi, ni was itchy knee XDD it was fun and effective!!!
Wow I talked a lot!!! :sweat:

I don't remember the exact first word, but it should have been something from Ranma and Akane's banter in the anime Ranma 1/2, that was my first contact with Japanese language :)

maybe
hai, arigatou, sayonara
