I made this video about three weeks ago for J4M on gimmeaflakeman's channel. But come to think of it, this is too easy for J4M on his channel. Also he hasn't used this video on his channel so I just decided to upload this on my channel. I will make another video for J4M on his channel some other day.

Not very useful but are used in everywhere in Japan so this could help you a little. Better than nothing.

When young people in Japan say or fell like ''shut up, That's too much,'', they often say:
:Uzai うざい
:Uzee うぜー
:Uzattai うざったい
:Uzattee うざってー

When young people in Japan say or fell like '' disgusting, gross, yucky'' they often say:
:Kimoi きもい
:Kimee きめー
:Kimochiwarui 気持ち悪い

Another meaning for ''Kimochi warui'' is ''feel sick''.

I feel sick because I ate too much.
Tabe sugi te kimochi warui. 食べ過ぎて気持ち悪い

You shouldn't say ''Tabe sugi te kimoi''. It doesn't make sense. When you say '' feel sick'' in Japanese, ''Kimochi warui'' is proper phrase to describe. Never use ''kimoi'' when you feel sick. It sounds very strange.

Enjoy studying JPNS!!

  • Kimoi  is my new favorite snowboarding word! I promis I'll have people saying it in Canada within the year! (does it make sence?)

  • @shawnabgoode

    Why using ''Kimoi'' when you do snowboading? lol If you ever have opportunity to use it when snowboading, let me know. I'm curious :)

    It just depends. Just don't say that to anyone who is actually kimoi lol At store, you may say that to some creepy food something. Just between you and your friend with no offence.

  • I was speaking in japanese to a guy i just met who was very rude and annoying. he didnt understand that i called him a bastard and told him to leave me alone and shut up. he thought he was clever by trying to speak another language at me (Spanish) luckily I know more spanish than japanese... He said some profanities and the conversation ended when I said Su MADRE es PUTA! Jajajaja <3

  • Those glasses make you look like Kizaru from One Piece hahahahaha.

  • @runnyrunny999 Think the snowboarder is using the translation of kimoi as "sick", which in the last several years has become slang here for "awesome" "cool" etc. so when he does something impressive, someone might say, "That was SICK!" Sort of similar to the slang "bad" in the 1980s, where bad actually meant something good.
