| How to cuss in Japanese Adjectives Baka (na)– stupid Guzu(na) - slow, the na must be added when you use kuzu to describe something. Eg kono guzuna kame (this slow turtle) Yawa(I) –it means flimsy. But commonly it’s used as a way of expressing yellow belly: Eg kono yawai otokono hito. (This useless man) Nouns Kuzu – trash, if you use it to describe a person you commonly use ningen no kuzu (trash of human, human trash) also, if you want to refer a real junk you add mono, which means thing/s. Yarou basically it means a guy which is referred in a inferior way, commonly added with other words such as bakayarou (stupid guy) hentaiyarou (horny guy like Master Roshi ^^) Guzu (noun) –slowness Bagemono –monster. Real cusses Kusso –literally means sh#t in Japanese in a cussing way. Kusokurae –sh#t eaiting, a VERY INFERIOR way of describing someone you despise. Kisama –an inferior way of referring to someone, basically it means “hey you thing!” I know it sounds strange in English but it’s very rude if you consider in a different viewpoint. Omae –same as kisama. Interestingly this is also a word for referring a highly ranked person in a community (?) ‘cause mae actually means ‘in front of.’ Aitsu –same as the above. Funny actually, ‘cause there was an original DBZ song called Aitsu wa Son Goku (that buster’s Goku Son) I guess this is also an exclamation in a boyish way (that’s not fair! ><) Extras (things you added at the end of the nouns) Mono –thing Domo –a way to refer a group more than two people, nothing rude. Ra –another way of referring a group more than two people, the difference is that the way its’ used is like: Eg Asoko no senshidomo wa Gokura. (that group of warriors over there are Goku and the others. Things to shout at people Kabarre –die! Yeah actually this is what Truncks said to Frieza when he finished him off ^^. However, this is a slang way of saying it, but basically it’s not an appropriate word if you want to refer to the real respecting death of someone. Shine –same as the above ~_~ Yattemiro –Just give it a try will ya!? It may sounds strange in English but it’s a way of seeing your opponent’s potential, like you don’t believe in that he’s really gonna kill you and such (!) Misetemiro yo – Let’s see what you’ve got! Basically it’s not that rude but it’s only ok if you use it between friends *_* Now that I have your attention here~ ^^ (drum rolls) here are some sentences incase you forget. Aitsu wa dare? (who’s that buster?) Kisama ga nan wo shiteiru ka? (what the hell are you doing?) Omae wa ore no aitei da Kakarotto!!! (Yay!! One of my most favourite quote from Vegeta!! Oops sorry~ ^^ it means You are my opponent Kakarott) All of the above are plainly for fun or people who are getting tired of cussing in English. I wouldn’t use it in front of a real Japanese if I were you. Let’s just say that these words will give you some ideas of what the characters are saying when you’re reading an original Japanese manga or watching anime ^^. |
