Quote:
boku wa kufuuku = I am hungry


Anou... sweatdrop I know this is a somewhat old topic, but what is this "kufuuku" of which you speak? I can't find it in any of my dictionaries.

"I am hungry" is "onaka suita"/"onaka (ga) sugimashita" or "my stomach is empty." The masculine way, or less polite way, is "hara heta" as previously stated.

"Kufuuku" just has me confuzzled. confused

uso- lie (like 'no way!' in conversation)
usotsuki (i think- might be zu)- liar
urusai- annoying ('shut up!' which might be damare, which also might be a stop word of some type, or 'you're annoying')
harahetta- i'm hungry
itadakimasu/gojisosamadeshida- say it at the beginning/end of a meal. i think we all know this.
tensai- genius 'atashi wa tensai desu!' i'm a genius. i love saying that.
nani o tsumori?- what do you intend to do?
etc.
i believe that "nani o tsumori?" is supposed to be "nani o surutsumori?" because the previous phrase is without a verb.

Itte rasshai. - So long. (lit. Go and come back) Said to members of a household as they leave.
Itte mairimasu. - So long. (lit. I'm going and coming back) Reply to itte rasshai.
These are actually the same thing. Ittemairimasu [行って参ります] is the same as ittekimasu [行ってきます], just that ittemairimasu [行って参ります] is more humble than ittekimasu [行ってきます].

Baka wa kaze wo hikanai: = "idiots can't catch colds." (An old saying in Japan)

A common schoolyard song in Japan makes rather explicit reference to the tanuki anatomy:
Tan Tan Tanuki no kintama wa
Kaze mo nai no ni
Bura bura bura
Roughly translated, it means "Tanuki's testicles swing back and forth even when there is no wind blowing."

Hara hetta (i think thats how you spell it...) Its how to say "I'm hungry" in the 'guy' way... so my friend says. I trust her.

boku ha kufuuku isn't something I think is even said... lol. I've spent quite a bit of time in Japan. razz

Nobody says that, c'mon...

Typically this is said as 'onaka suita' (my stomach is empty)

Dudes are often more blunt and say 'hara (ga) heta' ([my] stomach is poor) *note* poor as in 'I'm poor at baseball'.

Most of this stuff is pretty ridiculous.. lol-- 'kimi ga iya da' etc. (which would probably sound something like "anta nante kirai dayo' if a Japanese person spit it out)

On a final note-- oppai means tits, not opai.. o.O
