>BTW,What is Wapanese?

It means "wannabe japanese", a term used to insult fans of anime/manga who learn japanese. Most 4chan users use the word "weeaboo" instead of "wapanese", they both mean the same thing.

Wapanese is the term used to describe a person of non-japanese descent (usually white, however some others are lumped in there as well) who is incredibly obsessed with Japanese things.

A person who watches anime or majors in Japanese language at university is not counted as wapanese.

These are common behaviours displayed by wapanese:

1. Being obsessed with anime. The typical anime watcher enjoys the shows because they are fun to watch and interesting (not all are for children, that is a myth). However, wapanese will take it to an unhealthy level.
2. Their rooms will be filled with japanese things. Anything from anime stuff to japanese things such as Tatami. A true wapanese will have next to nothing non-japanese in their room.
3. Many wapanese will believe that Japan is the best country ever and that if they go there they will be adored. However, most wapanese don't understand that Japan is a very racist society and they don't like white people very much.
4. They will constantly post things on the internet containing a few of the japanese words they know. These words are usually: kawaii and baka. These words will be used in an english sentence such as: "You are so baka"
5. Many wapanese will develope an unhealthy obsession with asian girls/guys. Many of them will refuse to be with someone who isn't japanese.
6. wapanese tend to spend all of their time watching anime, reading manga and listening to japanese music. A lot of them are unemployed and live at home with their parents (some are students, some are over 30). The ones who do have jobs, have very poor jobs, such as working at a supermarket.
7. Wapanese listen to tons of japanese music but will refuse to listen to anything non-japanese. They also tend to say that non-japanese music is crap while the japanese music is godly. However, most wapanese tend to listen to Japanese Pop which can be very, very similar to non-Japanese pop.
8. Many wapanese do cosplay. However, many normal anime watchers cosplay as well. However, wapanese tend to overdo it and act very elitist at conventions.
9. Most wapanese know very little about Japan. They don't look past the anime and whatnot. Most wapanese don't know anything about Japan's history. However many wapanese will pretend to know what they are talking about, however they tend to be incorrect.
10. Wapanese also tend to butcher the language (besides using them in english sentences). A good example is the meaning of otaku. The wapanese will use it to describe themselves, however most don't realize that otaku in Japan means you are very mentally unstable. Otaku in Japan are looked down upon and ridiculed.

> However, wapanese will take it to an unhealthy level.

Half of the entries on urbandictionary are trying to define it so it doesn't include the author. Sort of pathetic.

Japan isn't a racist society >>204. It just focus on the group more. Any one outside of a group is ignored and excluded but it does not make them racist. And not only the Japanese, there are also some Chinese who does not like Westerners on historical and social reasons and I dont think the reasons make us Chinese/Japanese racist.
Someone here called me a weeaboo/wapanese once. However, I dont just only know a few Japanese words as I'm currently learning the language in a course at my university.

>>206
You are wapanese. Look at your name.

I'm NOT wapanese. I do know more than just a few phrases of Japanese. And I'm not white, nor would I wanna be.
I'm at least on lvl 3 on the JLPT, a test to identify one's proficiency in Japanese. The typical 'wapanese' wouldnt even make it up to lvl3

>>208
I doubt they could even do level 4.

last I check, I was 4-3-ish, but was too lazy to take it.

>>208
sorry, putting "otoko" in your name automatically qualifies you as wapanese, regardless of your jlpt level.

ps. shut the fuck up, you chinese people have it easy, all that fucking kanji and you can read all of it.

I hope you know just because it's the same characters doesnt mean it has the same pronounciation. It's just easier for me to recognize it but remembering how to pronounce the word is the same as anyone else.

Bragging about how much japanese you know is pretty wapanese too.

japanese - familiar, can speak in a short conversation
Spanish - familiar, can speak in a short conversation
English - Native
French - trying to learn it

:)

Not trying to brag, just stating facts to defend myself from your attempts to belittle me

> your attempts to belittle me

no one here is attempting to belittle you. you're already doing a better job of that than any of us ever could.

Stop using romaji, desperate young male person! It hurts my eyes and makes my balls itch.

男の子. Comprende?

English - Native (sort of)
Spanish - Native (sort of)

Can't remember which two language came first to be my native language. shrug

french - native
english - fluent
japanese - fluent
chinese - very little.

what do you think about that ^__^

>>218
sugoi desu ne ^__^

Why does a lot of people doubt others can seak Japanese? its not so hard to learn except Kanji

>>219

thanks ^_^

>>220

i think chinese is more difficult

>>220

Because of the annoying people who drop "baka"s and "kawaii"s into everyday English to act Japanese.

I don't speak anything but English. Apart from my bakas and kawaiis.

bengali-fluent
english- fluent
spanish-learning
japanese-learning

>>220
>>222
Thats very true in my school kids say random Japanese things they here in Japanese. The Bakas and Kawaiis are O.K. But the kids Say Ohaiyo ,konnichiwas, itterasai,arigato....out of nowhere which really annoys me :-( . I am actually taking Japanese lessons. My dream is to live in Japan after I become a M.D. :-).

Throwing Japanese words into your English for any reason outside of humorous intent annoys the crap out of me.

i'm french and i can say that even here there are those wapanese who annoy everybody around them.....

>>226
Not surprising. I gather that France has had a bit of a wap problem since a Japan fad fifteen, twenty years ago.

I love you guys <3

Because it is fantastic,marvelous,wonderful..you know,it's beyond description.
once you get to know kansaiben,you'll bet hooked on it,for sure.

you dont even know if its kansaiben or kansanben ffs

>>235
You mean ">>%1 $p3ak [p]@rl=="

roflmaololomgwtfbbq i think a good 60% of the people here who say they speak some japanese only know some words, but they say they speak japanese a little because they are Wapanese

>>236

I can say "ee na" and "-han"!

>>239

I can say やらないか
Am i wapanese?

>>240
I'll teach you more fantastic phrases,which are エゲツナー
クサー（egetuna-,kusa-).lol
these phrases were used by Oka Hachirou,who was a famous Jaoanese comedian and passed away a few years ago.
If you would say these phrases in front of the people in Osaka,
You'll become very Popular among them. I assure you.lol
Do you know about yoshimoto ?
It's a comedy theater and he belonged to it.

>>236
I only know that most of the sentences in 関西弁 end with や
And I know that in 猫にゃん弁, a sentence should end with にゃ

>>242 do you know about yoshinoya

>>246
Of course I do.
Yoshinaya is one of the most famous food chain stores.
and they sell bowl of rice topped with beef mainly.
but they ran out of beef bacause of BSE,so they sell bowl of rice topped with pork mainly now.
I want to eat 牛丼（beef bowl ),but at the same time
I'm very scared of BSE.
to eat or not to eat...that is a question lol

>>247
The incidence of vCJD (the human disease that develops from BSE) is about 1 in 1 million, on par with winning the second prize in most lottos.
If you're still scared, you should also start buying lottery tickets.

>>248
If what you've just said is true,there seem to be about 250 patients in the U.S. I don't believe it.
you know,winning the lottery is happiness,but suffering from the disease is unhappiness.
By the way,I've been buying lottery tickets for about ten years.I don't feel like winning it forever.

>>249
Out of 300 million people in the US, only 250 got it?
If we assume that everyone in the US eats beef, the ratio almost works out.
So yeah, lottery.

me spek al langueages flunently

>>250
That's funny.I have an american elementary school textbook.
and it says that the population of the U.S.is about 250 million.I think almost americans eat beef except a few people
who have religious reasons or are vegetarians.
you also eat beef ?
Be careful not to win the lottery ! lol

Anyways, >>242, please listen to me. Not that it's really related to this thread.

I went to Yoshinoya a while ago; you know, Yoshinoya?

Well anyways there was an insane number of people there, and I couldn't get in.

Then, I looked at the banner hanging from the ceiling, and it had "150 yen off" written on it.

Oh, the stupidity. Those idiots.

You, don't come to Yoshinoya just because it's 150 yen off, fool.

It's only 150 yen, 1-5-0 YEN for crying out loud.

There're even entire families here. Family of 4, all out for some Yoshinoya, huh? How fucking nice.

"Alright, daddy's gonna order the extra-large." God I can't bear to watch.

You people, I'll give you 150 yen if you get out of those seats.

Yoshinoya should be a bloody place.

That tense atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of the U-shaped table can start a fight at any time,

The stab-or-be-stabbed mentality, that's what's great about this place.

Women and children should screw off and stay home.

Anyways, I was about to start eating, and then the bastard beside me goes "extra-large, with extra sauce."

Who in the world orders extra sauce nowadays, you moron?

I want to ask him, "do you REALLY want to eat it with extra sauce?"

I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour.

Are you sure you don't just want to try saying "extra sauce"?

Coming from a Yoshinoya veteran such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, extra green onion.

That's right, extra green onion. This is the vet's way of eating.

Extra green onion means more green onion than sauce. But on the other hand the price is a tad higher. This is the key.

And then, it's delicious. This is unbeatable.

However, if you order this then there is danger that you'll be marked by the employees from next time on; it's a double-edged sword.

I can't recommend it to amateurs.

What this all really means, though, is that you, >>242, should just stick with today's special.

>>253
lol Well,I remember you posted this kinf of stuff everywhere
in 2ch.so I read this story in Japanese.
I expect you to post another funny story next time.

よしのやのはなしはよそでやれ

English, Japanese, Engrish, Singlish

>>254
Im looking for a bento box, it cant be pinku (thats japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be of 2 or more kotoba (thats japanese for 2 compartments) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching chopstick holder (WITH chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of ceramic, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (korea) or whatever. I have found a bento box similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i dont want my gohan (rice) to touch my other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)

>>263
Singaporean...?

lol I thought this thread was in DQN

>>264
I don't think there's such a language as Singaporean.

>>257 didn't i just see this post in the food section...? it's nearly the exact same post, using the same annoying japanese terms followed by a parenthetical translation. why do you need a bento box, anyways? just buy a lunchbox and use Ziploc bags for sandwiches and things. you don't need to make your own asian-style food for lunch every day like some japanophile.

>>267
legendary kopipe fools another

Way to be pedantic, you know what I meant.

Singlish is like "YA LA YA LA YA LA YA LA YA LA YA LA". God that's annoying.

English -- native
Filipino (Tagalog) -- beginner

English - native
Spanish - a little, studied Spanish for three years and all I can say is a little?
Mandarin - a few words/phrases
Tagalog - a few words/phrases
Japanese - a few words/a phrase
Hawaiian - a few words

As a native English speaker from the US, I must say that I find Singlish to be FREAKIN' HILARIOUS.

I learned both english and spanish at the same time in my childhood. I guess it's kind of weird when you think about it though, as it feels entirely natural to talk in either, but I don't get them confused. Even when I think to myself I'll do it in either language for no particular reason.

English- native

Cantonese- native
Spanish- semi-fluent. ^^ I'm getting there for Spanish.

Japanese - native

That is because you are Russian, whose language is also in the slavic family, correct?
