*Shitteru.

[Wakatteru is for actions, meaning "Even if you hadn't mentioned it, I knew that" or "Okay, I'll do it. Stop nagging." Shitteru can be used for nouns & actions, such as "I know (her)" or "I know (how to get there)."]

[Three basic, all-around good phrases to use when someone really slots you off. These phrases usually command respect, or at least allow you to establish yourself.]


Do you want to say something ?!
*Nanka yö?!

[Japanese are infamous for staring. To have them return to their own affairs, a simple Nanda-yo?! or Nanka yö?! works well. But then again, the Japanese are also known for their persistence, too. If these two fail, simply tell them any of the following:]


Don't look at me!
*Kochi minai-deyo!
*Kochi miruna-yo!
*Miten-ja nëyo!

Why do you talk like that?!
*Nande sonna-koto iu-noyo?!

[If you are positive a Japanese person is talking derogatorily about you, these last two phrases are good to use. But be careful, sometimes they are complimenting you.]

*Baka!
*Tako!
*Baka-yarö!

*Baka yatten-ja nëyo!
*Fuzakenai-deyo!
*Fuzakeruna-yo!
*Fuzaken-ja nëyo!

[Any of these last seven phrases can be used when someone slots you off. They translate as "Don't joke around with me!" or "Don't think I'm lower than you!" Phrases beginning with Baka can also be voiced with concern for a friend's irrational behavior. Compare with Namenna-yo! ("Don't frag with me!"), below.]


Don't say stupid things!

*Shizuka-ni shite-yo!
*Shizuka-ni shiro-yo!

[If in a simsense theater, tavern, etc., first you should say shizuka-ni shite kudasai. If there are no results, shizuka-ni shite-yo! or shizuka-ni shiro-yo! should do the trick. Still no progress? Throw in a couple of urusën-dayo!'s. Both "Be quiet!" phrases can be used playfully between friends.]


Stupid Asshole!
*Baka ka!


You hoop-hole! You Asshole!

Outcast. Lower-class (-caste).
*Burakumin.
*Eta.

[Still a taboo word today, even though a sizeable group of Seattle "garbage-scanavgers/information-traders" have taken to calling themselves, the Burakumin. Both this word and Eta (which is simply another way of saying it) are likely to make liberal-minded Japanese listeners squirm.]


Playgirl!
*Otoko-tarashi!
*Roppongi gyaru.
*Ko gyaru.


Playboy!
*Onna-tarashi!
*Hyaku nin giri!

[Onna-tarashi is a bad word to say to boys. Compair with hyaku nin giri, which literally means "man of 100 conquests."]

Tomboy!
*Otoko onna!
*Otemba!


Foreigner! (in general)
*Gaikokujin!
*Gaijin!
*I-jin!
*Jingai!

[Gaikokujin means, "person from outside the country." It is considered more polite way of saying "foreigner" (as opposed to i-jin, which literally means "alien.") Jingai is a play on gaijin with its syllables reversed, which sounds 'cool' & foreigners don't understand it.]


Half-breed!
*Hafu!
*Daburu!
*Ainoko!

[Originally used in pre-Awakened times to refer to a person of mixed Japanese/{whatever} birth, the term hafu has become yet another meta-human slur. This word's double meaning is now frequently aimed at Dwarves.]


White boy! Westerner! Caucasian!
*Haku-jin!
*Yankï!
*Ameko!
