USELESS. :|

jaykayjaykay if i asked for help with japanese i'd probably be making you translate entire doujinshis. D: minor question again: what does "da" mean when it's at the end of a sentence. is it just... like... stressing the word? like when rena yells USO DA

I CAN SPEAK JAPANESE SO THERE

"da yo" is something you tack onto your sentence to make it really, really casual. like, "nandayo" (what the hell) as oppose to "nani" (what).

YEAH WELL I CAN SPEAK ENGLISH, RUBBISH, RETARDED!LOGIC AND NONSENSE, SO THERE.

okiedoke. and 'desu yo' is like... a pushier version of whatever sentence you just said, right? i've forgotten whether desu yo is pushier or whether deshou is.

i don't know why i keep asking about tiny little details when i still can't string sentences together either, mrgh.

I CAN SPEAK ENGLISH, HOKKIEN, TEOCHEW, JAPANESE, AND ITALIAN, TAKE THAT

yeah, somewhat. "desu yo" implies a silent "am i right". and you need to pick up japanese or else i'm defriending you forever.
