Kawaii candidates desu~

Moshi Moshi, Roshi desu~

You're a special kind of stupid aren't you.

Quick question, what does desu mean/ translate to in English?

It has no meaning.

Weeaboos just think that if they say it often enough, they'll turn Japanese.

If only it were that simple to become Japanese.

It does have a meaning. I took japanese for a year in school and we had to use that word. The u in it isn't pronounced though. I forget the meaning of that and every other word i learned, but it does have one.

It means "it is". They use it at the end of a sentence.

I had to look it up myself

**lostfaux rolled a random image posted in comment #991899 at FJ Pony Thread 14 ** So " 'Moshi Moshi' Adolf it is?" I looked it up too but it didn't make sense still.

basically "moshi moshi x desu" is a statement "hello this is x" (moshi moshi is kinda like hello)

when translating from language to other, you need to keep in mind that the word order can be different etc

Yea I guess. The moshi moshi means 'hello'.
Not all translations are spot on, but at least you can understand it now :D

**lostfaux rolled a random image posted in comment #178 at LOL Mordekaiser es #1 ** OH I see how it would make sense, I forgot Japanese sentences doesn't go in the same order as English. Thanks tho

No problem

its just the copula of a sentence.

just think of it as a word that signifies a state of "being".

The Japanese word desu is a copula: a word that links the subject of a sentence with the verb.[1] A close English approximation of this would be the words “this (that, he, she, it, etc) is” unless it’s coupled with an adjective or a verb. Regardless of how it is used, it’s main function is to end sentences intended to be a statement. Due to the grammatical structure in Japanese, desu and verb tenses are used at the end of a sentence or phrase. (ex. “This is Sushi” would be translated into “Kore wa sushi desu.” and “I like Sushi” would be “Sushi ga suki desu”)
Other Japanese copulas are da, de, wa, na, and more. The form desu is essentially the same as da except that it is used in a casual, but still polite or proper context.

Good jerb. Once you do it enough times, it only takes a few seconds.

"Jerb". Easy there Coach Z.

I will definitely be using it a lot in the future from now on. Thanks!

Nevermind. Just had to click on a different button.

Cheers for that!

Hm... how do I change the color of the outline? It's always turning up blue.

Oh fucking god what

i love how the sea lions saying "baka" very much

I went to save that gif and I was going to name it after Superman.

So I typed in:

Batman.

Realizing my mistake I started over and tried again.

This time I tried to type both of them in,

I typed in:

Batman and Spiderman.

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT

Fuck, forgot translation.
"Dolan-chan, please wait."

Actually -chan can be used for boys as well as long as the relationship is very close.

But I do get your point.

no it just that no one like that meme.

Have you been on funnyjunk the past month? People fuckin' hate the 'if you know what I mean' meme.

Even though we created it?

sama kinda got me baffled since it means "master"
though if they called eachother "chan" it would have been fucking hilarious, but the Romney-sama kinda killed it

Sama does not mean master. Sama is a honorific that is put after a name that means you show great respect to that person. ex. president of a company.

Goshujin-sama is master.

However, yes, it is pretty incorrect for Obama to be calling Romney "sama" because Obama is at a higher rank than him, considering he's the president, and Romney is only a candidate.

wasn't the correct term for a person of higher honorific "senpai"?

Sempai is someone who is older than you. "Senior"

My friend who studied japanese longer than me has much to explain...
