Oh hai! it was a nice surprise to see my face come up in the feeds today!
Favourite Japanese word eh? One of my favourites is なんか just because it's so easy to slip into speech when you really shouldn't ^^;.
But anyway, I'm not officially entering as I'm hosting a competition myself. So come on people - free stuff up for grabs just by writing a Japanese word!
My favorite Japanese word has always been yuubinkyoku. I don't know why, it's just fun to say! Umm.. hmm.. but how to use it in a sentence..?
I don't know why it didn't post the whole thing... was my post too long? ... Sorry, here we go again?
My favorite Japanese word has always been yuubinkyoku. I don't know why, it's just fun to say! Umm.. hmm.. but how to use it in a sentence..?
Natsu ni, watashi ha yuubinkyoku ga arukimasu to Godzilla wo aisatsu desu.
Sorry if that was wrong.. I'm kind of new to Japanese. But it SHOULD say (hahaa), "In the summer, I walk to the post office and greet Godzilla."
:3
Right now, my favorite word is yappari - after all; I knew it
Yappari, hon wa neko no shita ni imasu!
I knew it! the book is under my cat!
* my apologies for any particle misuse. Still making my way through particles.
Thanks guys for the comments, and favorite words! Don't worry about the sentences too much. Creating them is a way to help you use the words you like!.
I like what I see so far, so please keep it up!
my favourite word now is "ano sa" before a sentence, or also the name a friend you're speacking with with "sa" after it. for example: "Toshio sa,...".
だから、僕のセンテンスは：
(dakara, boku no sentensu ha)
so, my sentense is:
あのさ、日本にいきたい！
(ano sa, nihon ni ikitai!)
you know, I want to go to Japan!
私の好きな言葉は「あたたかい」です。
この言葉を話すのことは楽しいです！あたたたたたたたかい ;D
「暖かい冬がほしいです…」
that probably had some weird mistakes in it, but I was trying to say:
My favorite word is ATATAKAI (warm).
Saying that word is fun! Atatatatatatakai
my sentence is "I want a warm winter..." because I live in New Hampshire and the weather gets really gross for like 5 months out of the year. :P
My favorite word in Japanese is "to mo ni 共に",and I think it means together.
This is the word that I learn from the song 永遠にともに. I feel this is the most meaningful word in my life because it applies to many situation and different kinds of love.
My sentence would be 共に日本語を学ぶ.
I want to learn japanese with you guys. ^^
One of my favorite Japanese words is ときどき(時々)
時々退くに独に行きます。
(tokidoki toku ni doku ni ikimasu. ^^)
It's probably wrong, but it should mean "When we retire we sometimes go to Germany." :)
THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR INPUT CONTEST IS CLOSED NOW AND I'LL BE GOING THROUGH EACH ENTRY AND I SHOULD HAVE A WINNER POST UP WITHIN THE NEXT DAY (gotta go to work now :-p)
