Onaka tsuite shinjaisou! = I'm so hungry, I feel like I'm going to die. (more casual, slang tense)
Tabemasenka? = Won't you eat?(polite form)
Onaka ga suiteiru. = I'm hungry., Same as No. 1 but with the GA and the verb tense is unconjugated.
Tabemasuka? = Eat? (Polite form.)
Tabenai yo.=Strong YO ending of "I won't eat."
Nani sore!=What is that? (casual. Formal would be=Sore ha nandesuka?)

Iranai.=I don't need that.

  • Tanoshikatta Desu =3

  • 辛い からい

    辛い つらい

    Nice video. XD That Kanji can also mean painful or difficult to do something. It just depends on the context of the sentence. I don't know why there isn't a separate kanji for that word.

  • good stuff!!!

  • CERRL

    Another interesting vid.

    Thanks for making them.

  • i saw it on Anthony Bourdain's show No Reservation when he was at soemone's house in Okinawa

  • I back you up.

  • Itadakimasu is just generally said whenever someone has made food for you.

    It generally expresses your appreciation for it.

    Hopefully Victor would back me up with that.
