I speak kansaiben only
kansaiben is a dialect of Japanense.
and I'm very proud of kansanben !
One day all the people around the world will speak kansaiben.
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
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

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.

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.

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)

>English, Japanese, Engrish, Singlish
Singlish? Would that be Chinese English or something else?
>>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.
Singlish is like "YA LA YA LA YA LA YA LA YA LA YA LA". God that's annoying.

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.
