minna,

can u help me to translate this to english:

un~ imi wakaranaiyo~

arigatou! Mr Green


Random guess : 'I dont understand the meaning'

Imi - meaning. wakaru - understand. ~nai - negative form. yo - its like 'you know?'

Please correct me if I'm wrong..onegaiii Bow

no correction needed. Applaud
could also be interpreted as 'it doesn't make sense' depending on the context.

    Like chiba and kenjilina said, it can either mean, "I don't understand the meaning" or "it doesn't make sense"

It looks like they have stuffed it up to me. The first part looks to be Ohayo, as in ohayo gozaimasu or good morning, but it has the little �� after �� (yo) which indicates a glottal stop or pause in that sound, followed by �� (su)
which altogether makes up a word i've never seen before and that ain't in the JDict Smile

The �� it does

Its ohayossu..it means good morning same like ohayou (gozaimasu).

Found this article : There are men in Nagoya who will answer when jogging, "Ohayossu!" as a contraction of Ohayo Gozaimasu that he reports the Japanese ear hears as more polite than Osu but less polite than "Ohayou."

Ohayossu - more athlethic, male exspressions Victory! Peace!

    guru-guru means to go round and round, fuwa-fuwa means fluffy, the other two I don't know. Are you sure that's buru-buru, because bura-bura means wander around.

                I can't really explain them, but I have heard them used. For example, I was watching an interview with Dodgers pitcher Takashi Saito and they asked him how he felt before his first game, he said, "Dokidoki" which mean nervous or excited.

              Wow, thanks. Big Grin

              And yeah, it's really buru-buru. I heard this in the Galaxy Angels opening theme, plus my half-Japanese upperclassman (who lent me her book) wrote buru-buru on a page full of boring stuff.. so I'm guessing it means boring..?
