Best Answer

To count to 5 in Japanese: Ichi (1), Ni (2), San (3), Chi (4), and Go (5). (I also know that "roku" is 7 and "gu" is 10.)

I also know that "baka" means stupid, "arigato" means thank you, and "domo arigato atashimas" means thank you very much.

Here's just a few:

Gomen/Gomen nasai - Sorry (impoliet/if you know the person)/Sorry (Poliet)

Konnichiwa - Hello or Good afternoon

Konbanwa - Good evening

Ohayo Gazaimasu - Good morning

Hajimemashite - Nice to meet you.

Nande - Why

I know a few more. "Hello" is "ohayo" or "konichiwa" developing on the situation. "Arigato" is "thank you" and "domo arigato" is "thank you very much". "Baka" means stupid/idiot/fool. "Desho" means "right?". I also know how to count to 10 (but 4, 6, 7, 8 ,10 and 9 may be wrong spelling :P)................

1-ichi

2-ni

3-san

4-yon

5-go

6-roku

7-nana

8-hachi

9-ku

10-ju

* Remember that there are no spaces in Japanese language so some words may appear long but are actually just smaller words combined.*

konnichiwa- hi

ogenkidesuka- how are you

hajimemashite-pleased to meet you

douitashimashite- your welcome ( the o can also appear with an accent with no u after)

arigato (gozaimasu) - thank you (very much)

* gozaimasu is just added to be more polite. it does not mean very much

(anata WA) namae WA nan desuka- what is your name (anata WA is optional)

Some random words:

chikatetsu- subway

kitte-stamp

Ringo- apple

hana- flower

hon- book

keitai- cellphone

kasa- umbrella

kagi- keys

Some random words that sound like English

pen

basu- bus

kurasu- class

sarada- salad

geemu- game

teeburu-table

terebi- tv

It's too general a question, I'm not sure what exactly to mention in the answer, however in the categorization you might find some of what you want. This is the pattern: [Romaji is English spelling of how a Japanese word is read]

- Japanese : Romaji : English

Nouns: (名詞 : meishi)

[ Plural and singular form of nouns in Japanese are the same.]

- 体 : karada : body

- 頭 : atama : head

- 髪 : kami : hair (on the head)

- 毛 : ke : hair (general)

- 顔 : kao : face (of human)

- 目 : me : eye

- 耳 : mimi : ear

- 鼻 : hana : nose

- 口 : kuchi : mouth

- 首 : kubi : neck

- 手 : te : hand

- 腕 : ude : arm

- 足 : ashi : leg, foot

- 日 : hi : sun (hi like in 'him')

- 月 : tsuki : moon

- 地球 : chikyuu : the earth

- 人間 : ningen : human

- 火 : hi : fire (hi like in 'him')

- 水 : mizu : water

- 土 : tsuchi : soil, earth

- 風 : kaze : wind, air

- 金 : kin : metal (also meaning gold & money)

(Japanese five elements philosophy is a bit different, not to be mistaken.)

Adjectives: (形容詞 : keiyoushi)

- 良い : ii : good, nice

- 悪い : warui : bad, terrible

- 美しい : utsukushii : beautiful

- 醜い : minikui : ugly

- 美味しい : oishii : delicious, tasty

- 不味い : mazui : unappetizing, distasteful

- 清潔 : seiketsu : clean, hygienic *

- 汚い : kitanai : dirty

- 大きい : ookii : big, large

- 小さい : chiisai: little, small

- 新しい : atarashii : new

- 古い : furui : old

- 早い : hayai : fast

- 遅い : osoi : slow

- 暖かい : atatakai : warm

- 涼しい : suzuzshii : cool, rather chilly

- 暑い : atsui : hot

- 寒い : samui : cold

- 高い : takai : tall, high (also expensive)

- 低い :hikui :short (as opposite to tall)

- 背が高い : se ga takai : tall (specifically of a person) *

- 背が低い : se ga hikui : short (specifically of a person) *

- 長い : nagai : long

- 短い : mijikai : short (as opposite to long)

- 高い : takai : expensive

- 安い : yasui : cheap

* : The rest of these adjectives are 'i'-ending (end with い) and can be used as modifiers (before a noun) too. But for 'se ga takai' and 'se ga hikui' there is slight change due to them being compounds. When used as modifiers form they are generally changed to 'se no takai' and 'se no hikui' instead. In case of 'seiketsu' (clean) it is added a な /na/ between it and the noun => 清潔な : seiketsu na.

Verbs: (動詞 : doushi)

- ある : aru : to be (inanimate objects)

- いる : iru : to be (animate objects)

- です : to be (as its auxiliary and linking verb usages _ polite word)

- 生きる : ikiru : to live, to be alive

- 死ぬ : shinu : to die

- 寝る : neru : to sleep (in bed/lying down)

- 眠る : nemuru : to sleep, to be asleep (anywhere)

- 起きる : okiru : to wake up

- 座る : suwaru : to sit

- 立つ : tatsu : to stand up

- 歩く : aruku : to walk

- 走る : hashiru : to run

- 食べる : taberu : to eat

- 飲む : nomu : to drink

- 行く : iku : to go

- 来る : kuru : to come

- 愛する : aisuru : to love (romantically)

- 憎む : nikumu : to hate

- 笑う : warau : to laugh

- 泣く : naku : to cry, to weep

- 微笑む : hohoemu : to smile

- 顰める : hisomeru : to frown (also read 'shikameru' with same meaning)

- 買う : kau : to buy

- 売る : uru : to sell

Greeting Expressions: (挨拶の言葉 : aisatsu no kotoba)

[It's common for these to be used is short form, usually first parts are said only; like arigatou gozaimashita => arigatou]

- こんにちは : konnichi WA : hello, good day, good afternoon

- おはようございます : ohayou gozaimasu : good morning
