(as in when you are in a conversation with someone and then you're interrupted, and then after the interruption you talk again) In cases like these, I say "nandake?" Informal, but it works. I would say something like: ����b���Ă��������H (Nani wo hanashiteita kke? = "What were we talking about again?") *How dare you~! "Konoyaro" could be applied. Aho's suggestion is really good. You could also say: �M�����Ȃ��I (Shinjirarenai! = "I can't believe (you/it)!") *How could you?! "Nande" (literally translated to 'why?'), but it works. "Doushite" also works This is basically the same as the last one, syntactically speaking. So again, you could say: �M�����Ȃ��I (Shinjirarenai! = "I can't believe (you/it)!") *Boring... "Tsumaranai" Aho's suggestion is spot on. Another way of saying it is: �Ɂ`�I (Hima~! = "I'm booooored!") *I'm soooooo~ jealous "Urayamashii" Again, I would say it exactly like Aho would. You could also say: �����Ȃ��[�I (Ii na~! = "That's sooooo (neat/cool)!") (i hope i'm assuming the correct conversation context in which these 'answers' are to be applied to)

I've put my suggestions in orange

Hi all.. can someone help here....?? onegai!! thanks in advance...! tata...(",)

Sorry, Dabbies, your post seems to have gotten buried.

Here are my suggestions.

Note: You've said that it's for your retail job, so I'm giving you the ultra polite versions that would be used in stores.

"hi sir/ mdm, is that all for u?"
�u�ȏ�ł�낵���ł��傤���B�v (Ijou de yoroshii deshou ka?)

"would u like this to be wrap up?"
�u��������܂��傤���B�v (Housou itashimashou ka?)

"is it ok for u?"
�u��낵���ł��傤���B�v (Yoroshii deshou ka?)

HTH,

@ aho-san & kokuou-san

Thank you very very much~! I have another question but it's regarding the spelling. Which is correct among these three, bakero, bakeru, or bakayarou? I've always used just baka to be safe but when I saw the movie of Hyde and Gackt (Moon Child) I couldn't help but wonder which is correct?? Mods, please forgive me for posting in the wrong thread, I'd just really like to know.

bakero is a corruption of baka yarou.

Actually, the verb ������ (bakeru) does exist, and it's command form would be ������ (bakero). It means to "transform" or "change" into something else. (As a humourous sidenote, when a girl puts on make-up, she is also said to ������.)

However, what the original poster is hearing is probably a colloquial version of �΂���낤 (bakayarou).

HTH,

Well, basically, it means something like:

"I want to see what it's like to have some one take me."

(With a side of sexual innuendo.)

'daku' means embrace. So literal translation, it means 'want to be embraced'.

But generally, 'dakaretemitai' means 'want to have sex with'.

Only girls use this phrase. Men shouldn't use it if you're not a gay.

interesting and good information on some of the japanese-english translations. a few questions to a japanese pen pals, since i don't know the translations. thanks.

how would i say?,

Thank you so much for your help with the english-Japanese translations.

I think the typical answer to this is:

Anata ga inakute sabishii yo.
(Maybe substitute kimi for anata if you are a dude).
Literally it means "without you I am lonely".

You could say "totemo sabishii" for "very lonely".

thanks for the info.

I don't know if this one is asked already cuz I'm too lazy to read ALL the posts,

Can a female say "ore/boku" when referring to herself instead of "watashi"? Say Natsumi Tsujimoto of You're Under Arrest, I don't think "watashi" fits her because that is word tooooo soft for her! Hehe!
