Yep, making these is strangely addictive. Hope they’re not too boring ^^; I’ll be getting back to more regular sound clipping sooner or later.
Today’s theme is… VERBS! To be more precise, verb expressions (those commonly found in anime). Because they’re commonly found in anime, most of these phrases are used very casually only. Use in “real life” at your own risk.
1. YATTA! = I/we did it!
Example: Shouted out loud when a character wins a game, race, defeats an enemy, etc.
2. SHIMATTA! = damn it!
Example: Often said out loud in the heat of the moment when someone makes a serious mistake or lets something bad happen to them unexpectedly. Not for when someone stubs their toe or loses a game/fight/etc.
3. HOTTOITE/HOTTOKE! = leave me alone/get lost!
Example: The first expression is a slightly softer or more pleading tone than the latter. First might be used when someone has suffered a loss or is in a bad mood (“please leave me alone”); second would be when someone just doesn’t want to be bugged, period (“get lost!”)
4. KOI! = come!
Example: “kochi e koi!” = “get over here!” Used towards an enemy or otherwise inferiorly-treated person.
5. DAMATTE/DAMARE! = be quiet/shut up!
Example: When another character really should not be saying whatever they’re saying.
6. ~ SHIRO/SHINASAI! = do ~! (loosely)
Example: “ii kagen ni shiro!” = “cut it out!” (lit. “do it moderately”)
Another example: “kakugo shiro yo” = “prepare yourself!”
7. MATTE! = wait!
Example: “chotto matte!” = “wait a second!”
8. SHINE/SHINJIMAE! = die!
Example: When going for the killing blow.
9. OKOTTERU = to be upset (at someone/something)
Example: “mada okotteru?” = “are you still mad?”
10. CHIGAU! = no! You’re wrong!
Example: Often shouted out loud when someone is accused of something they didn’t do or said to be something they aren’t.
This is a great blog you got here but i can’t seem to find the RSS button.
I’m glad you find it enjoyable! The RSS button is apparently in the top right corner of the page, where it says “Posts” “By Email” “Comments.” I’ve tried to make it easier to find but to no avail (so far). Sorry, I’m kinda new at this ^^;
