Fav Jap Quotes (what do they mean?!!)

**Mike4doa** · 03-12-2008 01:15 PM

Okay so here I am trying to figure out what expressions are most liked by all. And while were at it WTF do they mean???? No offense to the fansubbers, but some expressions can't be translated only explained.

So if oyu got them, Show 'em!!!

Obviously mine are
Bakka(ro)
Masakena

I also like the expression "Fusakenda!!" (is this right???) meaning "You've got to be kidding me!".

If you have anything to say about the translations/way we write them, plz say so. I intend to compile this eventually.

Djane! (bye/Cya!)

Bakka(ro) ばか (baka) or ばかやろ (bakayaro) simply means stupid or idiot depending on the overall context of the sentence it is used in.
I am not sure about the other words you wrote (maybe because spelling is a bit off, or my Japanese skill is insufficient)
Masakena sounds like Masaka, まさか! which is something in the lines of 'no way!' in English.
Fusakenda sounds most like ふざけるな or Fuzakeruna if spelled in English.
This is one of the rare Japanese profanities, that you could see gangs using in Japanese medias (usually accompanied by an angry face and a spit in that case)

Oh wow, Didn't expect this quite so fast. Great input!!!

Masakena (i 've heard it in eps 1 of Ikkitoussen DD and also a bunch of other series) and it means "How shamefull" like wanting to dissapear either because of your own actions then possibly the actions of someone you know very well and who might reflect on you as well.

I've seen a bunch of series that use the expression Fusakenda / Fuzakeruna? to say "No way! "You've got to be kidding me" or "Get outta town!" I've mostly grasped this by looking at the context this is used in. recent examples are found in Bamboo blade epside 1 and 19 it's about Yuuji and Kojiro' disbelief of Dan-kun's girls (First Miya Miya, later Carrie). here it's translated as "You're frigging kidding me!"

additionally i like the deadpan "Aho" comment. first i though they were quite rude to make an english abbrivation for a foul word. later on i discovered it means "ignorant one" in the more common sense of a so-called "Dolt" of "Ninny".

I am not sure of Masakena yet. I never heard of that exact expression being used ever, or it could be a dialect (like Osaka people tend to end their sentence with ya instead desu, yan instead san)
I have not seen Ikki Toussen. and googling for the closest possible word on my side is not working.
This is the list of anime I have seen:

if possible, please tell me the anime the quote 'Masakena' was in.

Aho also has a similar stance as saying idiot.

I'm gonna check your list an then check the anime's i've got (i'll make my own list as well link will follow). here's a link to the file of ikkitoussen DD small file (42 mb) http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=K9VDWRV2
or (77 MB) http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=OPG02CQG
or (93 MB)http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=DJL74CT9
or (58 MB) http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=WKEU9L4D it the last file that i have and if you'd look it's when they are at the pool.
I'll look for more examples but that's gonna take a while given the anime i've got. (help anyone???)
