I'm so dim.What are the different ways to say "hey" or "good bye"?

Hey = oi

Good-bye/bye = sayounara, bai, bai-bai, ja ne

These are the ones I know. There are actually others, but I'm not sure on them, so yeah.

There's more for "good-bye" but it's using different languages like the French word "adieu" turning into "adyuu" and some other things.

[Pyrokinetic Singer]

I see.I thought there where more ways than oi.I knew that one already.

[Ryukon]

There is a few. But I don't use something I'm not familiar with, like "omae-san" for instance.

[Pyrokinetic Singer]

What does that mean?

[Ryukon]

Supposedly "hey", but in a sense that it used "omae" suggests that it's probably very rude.

But like I said. I don't use things that I'm not familiar or sure with, so what I've said so far was all I got. Sorry.

Anyways, what does "san" or "sama" mean?

Literally meaning "stupid geek". Don't be offended though. The "baka" in front of the "otaku" shouldn't last very long when you start to get active in posting on here with us.

Mm...honorifics again:

-san = Mr./Mrs. (polite)
-sama = mostly referring to more of a "Lord" thing or calling someone of higher status than oneself in a nutshell.

To Edel-san: From my end, I honestly can't help you there, nor do I even have the foggest idea of any translation...

It could be a new thing the manga is introducing and will give the meaning later.

Sorry. I'm not much help. 芸者男の子-san might though, so try making a seperate thread.

[Pyrokinetic Singer]

I found out what "omae" means!It means "you" in a rude way.

[Ryukon]

Yes, that's right.

Anime uses it frequently, but honestly, it's not a nice thing to say.

If a person doesn't really know much about a few chosen Japanese words, like "omae" for instance, they might miss the full impact of what someone is trying to do.

[Cloud Leonhart]

I have a question. Does ragnarok mean anything? Or is it just a made up word.

[Ryukon]

From what I understand, yes, it's just a made up word. Just like sukuraido (s-CRY-ed)'s title.

What does "-kun" mean?

[Ryukon]

-kun = this honorific is more for usage for boys, although in this day of age, the girls are starting to be called "-kun" as well. It acts like '-san', meaning 'Mr./Ms.'. It can be used on anyone, but it's more on casual, friends-type terms. Even though '-kun' is polite, it's not really wise to use it on a first meeting (it'll sound like your teasing them).

What does "hateshinai" mean?

[geishaboy]

What does "hateshinai" mean?

hateshinai - 果てしない - endless

Hateshi means end, and nai means none. Proper use of grammar would be hateshi ga nai, but hateshinai is fine, it seems like a set expression to me
