How do you say 'apocalypse' in Japanese?

黙示 【もくし】 mokushi translates to "apocalypse," literally meaning "silent showing" or "silent revelation."

What does namae wa mean?

It's a short form of asking someone's name (especially listener's), literally means 'name?'. Figuratively means 'what's your (or his/their/etc) name(s)?'.

Namae: name

wa: particle to point out 'subject', 'topic of the sentence' or 'emphasis'. Here it doesn't translate into anything.

What is totemo ochikonda mo shiawase mean?

Seems more like irrelevant words than a sentence. If I were to put together a translation I would say 'I'm feeling happy even though I am troubled'. Since pronouns are usually omitted, instead of 'I' there could be 'he/she/they/etc as well.

Totemo: 'very, really'

Ochikonda: past tense of ochikomu meaning 'to feel blue, to feel down' as well as 'fall down/into' and 'to fall, to be in a bad situation'.

Mo: can mean 'even' and 'also,too' here

Shiawase: 'happy'

What are the differences between san Chan and kun?

All of the surtitles are used for addressing different people and genders.

-San is used for our equals or superiors, both female and male. EX: peers, non close friends, acquaintances, coworkers, etc.

-Chan is often used exclusively for young girls or children (babies). It is used among very close friends to add endearment to their names. It also makes their name "cuter" so it is often added to the end of children's' (girls) names.

-Kun is used exclusively for young boys. It is used as -san is used for adult men and women. However, boys are only addressed as "-kun" until their early 20's, or sooner, and then people will begin to call them "-san."

What does watakushi means?

As a phrase, this means nothing -- it is not a structured in such a way as to form a grammatically meaningful or correct sentence.

Individually, these words mean:

"Watakushi" is a formal way to say "I"

"Ai" has many meanings, but a common one is "love."

"Anata" means "you."

If you wish to say "I love you," you may say "Watashi ha anata wo aishiteiru."

It's written 風死, has two kanji of 'wind' and 'death', it could roughly have a meaning of 'blowing death', or literally 'wind death'.

What does 'uta wa kirei utadde imasu' mean in Japanese?

I think you might mean 歌をきれいに歌っています (uta wo kirei ni utatte imasu) which could be used to mean "I'm singing beautifully" in Japanese. The topic (I) would depend almost entirely on context.

How do you answer no haha wa daijoubu desuka?

I'm assuming the "no" at the start is part of the sentence here, in which case it would be the particle "の", equivalent in this case to an apostrophe s.

This would be:

"Is _____'s mother alright?" with the blank space of course being whoever's name came before the "no" in the sentence.

And how you would answer it would depend on whether or not she is alright.

"Hai, daijoubu desu" (はい,大丈夫です) = Yes, she's alright.

"Iie, daijoubu janai" (いいえ,大丈夫じゃない) = No, she's not alright.
