Question for Japanese people about names.

[dc]

be special and use watakushi or atashi. >_>

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Watakushi is extremely formal and atashi is something only females use.... (boku/ore is something only guys generally use).

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

In the example "Ichi-san," the "san" would be a suffix, not a prefix. Prefix would be "san-Ichi."

Prefix comes before while suffix comes after. If you can't get your own fusking language right, how are you going to get someone else's language right?

notice the >_> shifty eyes. lol

try asking him during your first conversation. just casually work it into the conversation and ask. and towards the end of the conversation ask him how to properly say thanks and such, i'm sure he'd appreciate that more than you pretending to know japanese.. by reading someone's reply word for word.. ahri gahto gohzah hi masoo.. terrible..

and while english rendition of japanese (i can't remember what they call it.. totally drawing a blank here..) looks good typed, from my japanese class experience, most novice speakers end up butchering the hell out of the language, even w/ proper native speaker guidience.
