To be typical weeaboo: "ehm, axually that's not the correct Japanese translation of beep beep lettuce"

I'm just laughing at retasu being the word for lettuce.

They use a lot of words that are just the English word with an engrish accent. It’s pretty nice if you’re an English speaker actually

The Japanese word for PC is pasokon (ぱそこん), which is short for pasono konpyutaa (パソのこんぴゅたー)

Learning Japanese if you don’t already know English probably makes it like 10x harder huh

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, there's a lot of borrow words in Japanese. Napkin is napukin, for example.

And "orewa chin chin no chisai" means "your smile is beautiful!"

[–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And of course お前はもう死んでいる means "I will always be by your side".
