suit yourself i just hope you remember this when it turns out all you can take in terms of foreign language is french OH IF ONLY I HADN'T OFFENDED AND ISOLATED POLNAREFF youll say but itll be too late ill be hanging out with holly and will be deaf to your tearful pleas for assistance
yeah! he asked to learn it two weeks ago so we're doing like you know all the starter shit "hello goodbye my name is how are you im fine" shit like that and how to say the alphabet and verbs and stuff like that hes actually pretty damn good at it we can talk a little now i mean mostly i talk and he listens and sometimes says "yes" or "no" but he definitely is learning
I actually just had this discussion with someone else recently--our cursing isn't quite as colorful as that of other languages. Simply being coarse and impolite in phrasing is an insult in and of itself.
honestly i bet i will still rudeness aside i want to learn more japanese not the language itself italian takes priority but still i ought to know SOMETHING
If you want to tell someone 'stop being stupid', that's ふざけるな, fuzakeru na. 'Drop dead' is くたばれ, kutabare. やかましい, yakamashii is basically 'shut up, you're noisy'--that's one of the first things I ever overheard Jotaro saying, so you know it'll be a coarse and unrefined way of talking.
[He mouths the words, aware even as he does that he's butchering the pronunciation. It's simply the nature of their two languages; words in Japanese are pronounced so much differently than in French. Still, he memorizes those words, because he likes to learn things about his friend.]
were you that talky your first fight?
what about something fond like "fuck off" but youd say to your friends is there a way to say that fondly there is in italian
Kind of--we said a lot of things, but he was talking to someone else when he said that, I was just kind of watching him. I talk a lot when I fight in general, it's a distraction and stalling tactic.
As for that...I don't really think we have those. Most of what I can think of is just outright insults with no friendly connotation to them.
[Interesting, vaguely, and maybe someday they'll talk about it. Polnareff knows there's a difference between himself under mind-control and himself normally, and he's willing to bet the same is true for Kakyoin.]
fair enough but if i say it to you you have to promise to take it friendly
