Yeah... and theres also another one KESORRR! or something. But what do they mean actually?

"KESORRR!"?? Maybe KUSO?!! It literally means "shit"!

First words I heard in Japanese were.......

-Hai
-Ichi
-Kore ha nandesu ka? (actually a sentence, but I'll throw it in)
-Suwatte
-Arigatou
-Moshi moshi (my Grandma used to make me answer the phone like this when I was about 4-6 years old)
-Sayonara
-Gomennasai
-Chin chin (again, when I was a kid, Grandma used to tell me to wash my chin chin when I took a shower.) (For those of you who don't know what it means, it means "Penis")

Hmmm..let me see I picked up these words: -Sayonara - Irashaimase - kokoro - Ame - Arigatou - Hai - Honto desu ka? - daijyobu? - Abunai - Kirei - Kawaii - Wakarimasen - Watsurenai - Tasukete - Chotto mate kudasai.. All of these I picked from watching japanese cartoons, anime when I was small around 11 years old which I didn't understand the meaning at that time accept for "arigatou", "kawaii" ,"hai" and "Sayonara"

Probably kaa-chan. My family is Taiwanese and my parents were born right before the end of the occupation. Lots of Japanese terms were still used in Taiwan, and whenever my mom used to call my grandmother, she'd refer to her as kaa-chan.

When I was visiting HK a long time ago, my cousin was taking some JPN classes, and he kept on repeating "Chottomatte" and I always wondered what that meant. It wasn't until I visited JPN to find out what that meant. _________________ Here's my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#/kwan1?ref=profile
