I am so angry. This video fills me with rage.

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

[ruderuud]

Get out of the closet

[edonomahou]

ところでさ、日本でお前のFAGGOTRYいらんで。さっさとア­メリカに帰れ、アホ。

[ChrisPayneable]

@edonomahou LOL せやねん。っていうか日本語でＦａｇｇｏｔｒｙなんていうかなｗ­

[edonomahou]

@ChrisPayneable 自分で訳すしかない。（笑）

[edonomahou]

The hell is this shit? Learn to speak one or the other properly, dipshit.

[xoxhiddenleafsxox]

[wwwkyotokyotojp]

aha! this guy is so funny.

Moshers!

im gonna stop using " Shimo Shimo" and pick up my phone with "Moshers" now

[kenzzzhou]

this guy's honger right?

cause he doesn't look japanese

[noholzba]

uhm, what's a honger?

[1acroyear1]

Goddamit! Your video made me hungry!

[Bouncybon]

Ted - you have good teaching skills. You know how to hold people's attention. Shouldn't you be teaching in Japan? It's what your real good at.

[edonomahou]

You're a flaming imbecile. Watching this depressed me.

[4udayan]

This vid is great! haha I always speak like this with my friends!! We totally have our own language together (I'm Australian - the token foreigner of the group) hahahaha it's great! Thanks for making this vid, I'm so glad there is another person on this planet who can understand my gaijinben loool

[jamesnaruke]

Enjoyed your video! You are so different when you speak English and when you speak Japanese! Like when you did the Re: to Ken Tanaka's video, you seemed very quiet and non-expressive, but in this video, you are very expressive in your facial expressions and in your speech! Well, I hope you are enjoying your stay in Japan!

[koshi14753]

[badboyforlife]

[simone3801]

Ur cute hehe

[itsdaveydestruction]

how cool! i love learning! lol

<3 davey

[cocoa371010]

でもactuarly,we seldom use もしもし on the mobile phone. cause we already know that who we are going to talk to. we say just はい. of course when we talk to senior/elder people, we use もしもし/moshes.　ご参考までに！

次のビデオも楽しみにしてます♪

ありがとうございました^^

[rasincloud]

is joke this why is not proper japanese use.

[cocoa371010]

im so sorry but i dont understand at all...

[rasincloud]

I am telling people this is a joke, thats why you don't use proper Japanese :) some people don't understand.

[noholzba]

Oh, I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip. =)

[cocoa371010]

oh,,,ive never heard about that!

回転といえば回転寿司のことなんだね！初耳です。

okonomiyakiもmoshersもは最後まで言いにくい­からそうなったのかな？

[EijiShinrow]

Dude, you look so different with those thick, old school glasses

[noholzba]

Thanks. =)

[BenzorChan]

Nerd Glasses <3 I got a pair too lmao

[noholzba]

These glasses are the real deal! My eyesight is BAD, yo!

[pointeprincess302]

@noholzba woah those glasses actually have prescription lenses in them?!?! lol i used 3D glasses from a movie and knocked out the lenses and i wear those around because they are kinda fun. they look exactly like your glasses lol

[sleepyreader42]

I know a word I used quite often with friends was daijobs. That and yikes! (pronounced ヤイクズ！）as in Yaikuzu! that baby is ugly!

[noholzba]

I love daijobs!! I use it all the time =D

[BonsaiBlog]

kaiten and staba are the only words I ever heard actually used in Japan.

Interesting take on that lol

oh and i FUCKING LOVE OKONOMIYAKI!! Fried cabbage cake is like the literal English translation but it sounds icky that way.

[BonsaiBlog]

lol and I used to always use a mix of Japanese and English with my foreign friends. Probably sounded pretty weird haha.

And here in America I still use nandeyanen ALL THE TIME.

[vanness5]

what fun,! you should post more of these. One day through some bizarre set of circumstance I just know I will end up waking up in a Japanese ditch, and it would be nice to have this bastardized Japanese somewhere in the recesses of my mind. : )

[CTUKyoto]

I can't believe you described okonomiyaki as "pizza"... It's nothing like pizza except for being round!!

[hollermahler]

you probably get this a lot, but how long have you studied Japanese?

[noholzba]

uhm...I think I started studying about 10 years ago?

[ericos]

HAHA.. moshers! lol!

I love your hair Ted! =D

[noholzba]

Tee-hee. Thanks!! =D

[bobert742]

I also tend to say daijobs

[noholzba]

omg yes!!  I say that too!!

[noholzba]

Steal away! =D

[Scsibut]

good video as always...so how was your trip back home to Ohio....kinda cold huh..:P

[noholzba]

Thanks! Ohio was...actually a lot warmer that I anticipated. It doesn't really get cold until January and February...by which time I'd already returned to Japan...

[neitokundesuyo]

I laughed at "Moshers" I used that once haha.

[noholzba]

"moshers" is pretty amazing! =P

[kansaiPJ]

Hahahaha! We really do have twisted Englishes the longer we live here! LOL!

Great idea for a video.

[noholzba]

Thanks! Yeah I'd been thinking about making something about our bizarre gaijin-english for a while now...and maybe I'll do a sequel or something too...

[Moldovanca]

"I'm so international" XD

i say that all the time anyways, cause i am, but you do it so much better XD

[noholzba]

it's tough being so international. we should all write a book about it.  =D

[Moldovanca]

Yes, what SHALL we do? It's a hard job for us internationals! but someone's got to do it XD

[japtakashi]

okono sounds very strange! lol japanese never shorten the word "okonomi yaki" although they do like to shorten tons of words. come to think about it is actually quite a long word.

[noholzba]

okonomes is an amazing word! you're right, Japanese people never shorten it...but they shorten everything else!

[kriseskra]

lmao my friends and I do this too.

I like moshers! thats awesome.

Between my friends and I its mostly for areas...like shibs, ike, sjuku, omote, ichimaru, makku,"On the chika" "suicide sen". But sometimes food like yakini, and we use kaiten too.

[noholzba]

Yeah! Oh my god and it's regional, too!  Here in Kyot (and no I did not forget that last O) we meet up in Sanj and Shij, or shink it over to Tokyo when we have the time. And yakinikks! Delicious yakinikks...

[cranberryGTX]

in japan:

staba=starbucks

makku(or makudo)=mcdonolds

puramo=plastic model

=D

[noholzba]

puramo...that's a good one!

[tamayn]

it's funny with "staba" being used. I think a lot of American businesses get abbreviated like that. Mathieu always calls Mc Donald's "Macdo" so it's a bad habit I have picked up.

Also for staba, what's the romanization for the first character in that? I didn't think you could have an "s" next to a "t" in Japanese.

[noholzba]

I've noticed the Japanese abbreviate EVERYTHING. Kinda love it. And they actually say Macdo ("makudo") too!  Well in Kanto, at least. Here in Kyoto they say Mac ("makku").

As for staba, the correct romaji would be "sutaba." But it looks silly when put in an English context!

[watchdog2007]

MOSHERS made me LOL haha always liked mushi mushi on the phone... :D that and "staba"

ur so cool ted! i like this vid.. hope u can do more!

ps people dont get offended hearing u guys say this?

[noholzba]

Hm..well I don't see why anyone would get offended... I mean the Japanese language is certainly full of strange words that once resembled English...

Anyway I doubt most Japanese people would even understand (unless they had super-good English, in which case they'd probably just laugh).

[atomicboyx]

def have ot use moshers now! LOL

[noholzba]

tots gotta use it now

[kerokerorin813]

My sister uses "domes" for "domo" when she says thank you. Haha.

[noholzba]

Ooh that's a good one! I'm start sprinkling that in... =D

[baskinrobbins31]

Every Gaijin in Japan use "moshers"?? It's only you and your friends, right???

[noholzba]

No no, of course every gaijin in Japan uses "moshers." =P

[abu1abu2abu3abu4abu5]

I like okonomes lol. it sounds like おもろ～！

[noholzba]

Haha, I know right? I love "okonomes." =D

[CardboardBuddha]

Your facial expressions and silly, haphazard way of teaching make the video wonderful.

You seem really energized in it, ready to go! Excited. It makes me want to jump up out of bed, and yell 'IKIMASHO!'

But my cold(Or whatever it is) disagrees, it's very bimyou about the whole matter.

Thanks for the video. I look forward to seeing more.

-CardboardBuddha

[noholzba]

Excellent! Keep up the gaijin-ben and your cold will be just blown away by your internationalization!

[7starwish]

wow, i will try to use that words. lol

i think it really cool. haha

[noholzba]

Yes! 是非使ってください！
