Master Japanese in a mere 37,960,000 days. Lesson 4: I will fight you to the death. I will eat 5 pork buns. I … don’t know where I am anymore.
How goes the yelling? Good? Bad? Been arrested yet?
There’s been too many verbs recently so let’s learn some nouns, but not conjunctions.
How about, 私 (わたし, I), 僕 (ぼく, I [masculine]), 俺 (おれ, I [masculine]), and あたし (I [feminine])? They all work exactly the same, the only difference is who uses them and when; Everyone uses 私 in formal situations, women use it more often; 僕 is masculine, less than 俺, and neither is used in formal conversation; あたし is also casual and used by women. Don’t ask me about anyone that blurs the gender lines, I don’t have a vagina and I don’t intend to be gay anytime soon, even if someone else might think so.
Example 1:
俺は鈍くて、馬鹿で、醜い。
おれはのろくて、ばかで、みにくい。
I am stupid, dumb and ugly.
Example 2:
あたしはあなたの爪を切りたい。超長いわね。
あたしはあなたのつめをきりたい。ちょうながいわね。
I wish I could cut your fingernails, they are way too long.
Example 3:
私はあなたの最悪な敵です。よろしくお願いします。
わたしはあなたのさいあくなてきです。よろしくおねがいします。
I am your worst enemy. Pleased to meet you.
Go fight crime with your newly honed throwing skills.
