Q
Sumimasen in Tokyo
A
suimasen (supposedly it was more casual, but in Tokyo it’s so common that “sumimasen” sounds weird)
2
Q
Excuse me, can you speak Japanese?

Hello everybody!
Mina san konichiwa!
29
I don't want to do my homework
shukudai (hw) wo shitakunai
30
I'm too lazy to do my homework
shikudai (wo) suruno mendokusai (that last word is the "what a pain in the ass" phrase Shikamaru loves and can be shortened to just "mendo")
31
Romantic relationships are too much of a hassle
ren-ai (wa) mensokusai
32
(he/she is) such a pain in... (you get it)
cho mensokusai (cho is an intensifier)
33
What is your name?
onamae wa nan desu ka (polite because the honorable O is used)
34
Excuse me, may I ask who you are?
sumimasen, donata desu ka (even tho "dare" is "who", using it there would sound rude unless you're asking about a third person. "donata" is a a honorific version of "dare")
35
-wakaru?
- wakarimashita/wakatta
- wakarimasen/wakaranai/wakattena
- wakatteru (yo)
- Do you understand?
- Yes, I understand
- I don't understand
- Yeah, yeah, I get it (bit rude)
36
sou ka na
sou ka means "is that so?" in a "I get it" kinda way, but sou ka na means something like "I doubt that" or "really?"
37
Please stop it (more of a command than a request methinks)
yamete kudasai (yamero and yamenasai are a couple alt forms)
38
shiranai
wakaranai means you tried to know/understand something, but couldn't; shiranai means you haven't heard about it at all!
Warning: if someone asks "Do you know where x is?" and you reply "shirimasen" it sounds like you don't care, while "wakarimasen" sounds like you wish you could help but don't know
39
No thank you
(iie,) ii desu (I'm good) or (iie,) kekkou desu (I'm fine, meaning you don't need what's being offered). The "iie" can be omitted. ii desu could also be taken as "that would be good" so perhaps kekkou desu is better
40
By the way (/you know, /etc; to start talking)
ano sa/ne
41
uchi
Non gender based way of saying "I". Used mainly by teenagers (and adults too, depending on the region).
When the kanji (家) is used, it means home, but when the hiragana (うち) is used it means "I"
42
That will never happen (no chance, etc)
arenai
43
Hawk
taka (鷹 🦅)
44
maa ne...
Used when someone asks you a question and you have an answer that's bad so you don't really want to say. For example "how was the test?" "maa ne...". Also translated as "well, I must admit..."
45

Frog
kaeru (カエル🐸)
49
ike!
Get out of here! (rude)
50
kure yo
"kure" is the (rude/strong) command form of kureru and means "give it to me!". Used in conjunction with another verb, you get the rude command "do this for me". E.g. "yammete kure yo!"
51
I'm sleepy
nemui (dayoo)
52
da yo
"da" is a casual form of "desu". E.g. tenki (weather) ga warui da yo = The weather is bad (you probs didn't know, better take an umbrella). So, da yo is kinda like "you know" (incluso es una muletilla para algunos también :o)
53
deshou
It's a common form of desu. Based on the examples, I'd say it's equal to "isn't that so?" but it can also be used as "Most likely/Surely"
54
I told you, didn't I?
itta deshou
55
You're going tomorrow, right?
ashita iku deshou

sumanai
Informal form of sumimasen. Used by men with their friends and coworkers. It's more common to use "gomen" in informal situations, though, but "sumanai" can be used when talking to employees or jr staff
61
Niebla
kiri

72
I'm hungry
"hara ga hetta" (guys, casual) or "hara ga suita" (neutral)
73
shut up
If it's a friendly "oh, shut up!" you urusai, urusei, or uzee (in order of increasing roughness; they mean noisy). shizuka ni shite kudasai is "please be quiet". damaru means "to not speak or take action", and the imperative damare is basically the equivalent of "sit the f down and shut the f up"
74
but
でも or だって (the latter is cute/childish)
75
will probably
deshou/darou (they can also mean "isn't it?" when used as a question)

77
Never mind / I's "nothing" (in the sense of "don't worry about what I said earlier..." )
nandemonai (nandemo means anything, so this translates literally into "nothing")

じつは (jitsuwa) ___

80

81
Taste the Dragon's blade!
Ryuujin no ken wo kurae! (ryuujin seems to refer to the dragon god, ken to a sword and kurae was translated to "cease" but seems to be the imperative of kurau (eat))
82
The Dragon consumes my enemies!
Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau! (teki means enemies, kurau es devorar (en lugar de sólo comer (taberu))
83
