Novel & Cerita Nandeska Japanese

Uncle Drake asked, “Do you know where Izanami Shrine is located?” He simply spoke English. Uncle Sanada was startled for a moment, but he understood what was happening immediately.

Nate supposes it’s because of their different upbringing. What Nate has just said is a private joke between them. His first word is nonsensical. It’s the name of Korean noodles with black sauce, eaten by brokenhearted, shaved-headed single men on Black Day. The second word translates to “you scared me”, which is a bit too literal for a Filipino like Nate who prefers to utter less filtered exclamations like “ay” and “oh my god” when surprised.

Brother… Mom… Please, help me… Tears blur my eyes as their voices cut through the air—words in a language I don’t understand but recognize, sharp and guttural. Japanese, maybe. Or Mandarin. Whatever it is, it sounds like danger. “Dōiu imidesu ka?” [“What do you mean?”] “Tsumari, jōshi. Kare wa mada kodomoda, shinu kamo shirenai.” [“I mean, boss. He’s just a child—he might die.”]

Isak asked as he joined the scene from the right. “Isak.” I turned as the last member of my stooges arrived. “Now you’re in for it.” Daisuke painfully laughed. “How are you going to explain to all of them you’re a chijo who’s played them?” “Chijo? I don’t know what that is, but I don’t like it.” Aidan tightened his hold on Daisuke, starting to cut off his air as Daisuke was a faint shade of purple. “It is a disgusting and inappropriate word that I cannot fathom why he’d say such a thing about Hana,” Isak explained without saying the word.

It was obvious to him that his friend didn’t understand at all about the language and thus, know nothing about what the old lady was talking about. Jai didn’t know whether to pity his friend, the old lady, or the situation. But he decided to help since he actually knew a little bit of Japanese language. Though not much, he knew some words that he could use to respond to a question asked to him. He then approached them and waved at the lady. “Konnichiwa, obaa-san.” The kind old lady turned her attention to him. “Ah… Good day… Is this cute boy a friend of yours, boy?”

Ren hissed in Yuri’s ear as he literally had Yuri in a dead arm-lock to prevent her from committing suicide next. “YUUKI!” [1] -neesan: Elder sister in the Japanese language, though it can also be used to address an older female

"That thing didn't touch you anywhere, did it?" Irene weakly shakes her head no, still shaking in her current position. "What... what was that thing?" She asks. Kai sighs in relief and stands up, giving a hand for Irene to take. "That thing you saw was a ghost, its name is gandaruwa, or more commonly known as genderuwo since it has Eastern or Central Javanese origin, but since I'm more familiar with the Western Javanese term, I'll continue calling it a gandaruwa." He explains as Irene takes his hand.

I stated calmly to Miyako. "I didn't know you were versed in ninja contracts, much less spoke Japanese?" Miyako responded. Blink. "I didn't know I spoke it either..." I mumbled. "No sweat," Pamela tried to hustle us along. "He's a quick study." Yeah. I didn't feel it apropos to point out I hadn't heard myself speaking Japanese, or understood that my words had some secret meaning. "How important is this to my people?" Miyako asked. Now that I was paying attention to it, I could make out that she was speaking in her native tongue.

Nando shouted, “Come down here first, Forty-nine! There must be a misunderstanding. I’ll give you a satisfactory explanation.” ‘Misunderstanding?’ James thought to himself, curious to see what kind of tricks Nando wanted to pull. James landed in front of Nando in a flash. Nando hurriedly bowed and clasped his hands, saying tentatively, “There must be a misunderstanding, Forty-nine. I’ll teach them a lesson!”

"Little Xiao, you’re not in the proper state of mind to be doing that operation!" "Director, I’m in a perfect state! I’ll definitely complete the operation. Please give me a chance." Translator’s note: [1] 纳尼 – Yep, ‘nani’ is exactly what was written here. To simply use ‘what’ would make it lose its oomph, plus we believe most readers are already well-versed with what this means anyway.
