What does the Japanese word Ne mean?

The word ね (ne) is a sentence-ending particle used in Japanese to add "isn't it?" or "right?" to the end of the sentence. ね may also be used in casual conversation to get someone's attention.

Examples

もう長崎には行ったことあるね (mou nagasaki niwa itta koto aru ne) - "You've been to Nagasaki before, right?"

ね、どこか行こうか (ne, dokoka ikou ka) - "Hey, do you wanna go somewhere?"

What does Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu mean?

'Yoroshiku' is a grammatical form of 'yoroshii', which is polite form of 'good, pleasant, all right, acceptable, etc'. 'Onegai shimasu' is polite way of saying 'I ask of you, I request that you..., etc', mostly translated to 'please' in English.

Putting the literal meanings together you can translate 'yoroshiku onegaishimasu' to something like 'please treat me well'.

What does imi wa-nan desu ka mean?

i believe it means something along the lines of "Do you live in Japan?" or "Have you been to Japan?" because Nihon means Japan or Japanese and the desu ka at the end makes it a question. I don't know about the ima tenki, so don't count on me for an exact translation, but that's my best guess.

Update: No. im not fluently in japanese. but as u said, Nihon means Japan and tenki means like weather and "ka" makes it all to a question. so i would say it mean more like

Hows the weather in Japan?

but as i said im not 100% sure..

You guys are getting there. Nihon is japan, no is a possession marker. Ima means now. Tenki is weather. And do desu ka makes it a question. So how is the weather in Japan right now? Or something like that.

Watashi wa anata ga daikirai desu?

The question is unnaturally worded, a hallmark of non-Japanese speakers.

When you say anything in Japanese in a two way conversation it's already understood who 'I' and 'you' are.

愛してるよ aishiteruyo 君が好きだよ kimiga sukidayo 愛しています aishiteimasu are three common versions that all convey what the asker could use in a very natural manner. 

"I love you"

What does the Japanese phrase 'anata ni aenakute totemo samishii yo' mean in English?

The phrase お誕生日おめでとうございます, read as 'otanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu', means "Happy Birthday" in the Japanese language.

お誕生日おめでとうございます is quite a formal phrase. The word ございます (gozaimasu) is actually a form of incredibly humble language used in Japanese called kenjougo. A more casual alternative would be 誕生日おめでとう (tanjoubi omedetou).

What does kimi mo desu ne mean in Japanese?

キム (kimu) is the Japanese version of the name 'Kim'.

What does genki desu anata wa mean?

It's a greeting, "Hello, how are you?" (Konnichi wa - Hello/Good Afternoon, O-genki - Health, desu - an equal sign, general means something 'is' something, ka - basically a question mark).

A response could be "Hai, genki desu. Anata wa?" (Good, thank you, and you?)

What is the phrase ' watasi eigo wakari masen nihongo wakari masuka' when translated from Japanese to English?

While it putatively means, "I love you", it is written in such an unidiomatic form that it must convey the sense of, "This is a foreign person trying to speak Japanese" and comes across as being funny. You'd see something like this in a manga where an exchange student was trying to, well, you know.

What does shimasen mean in Japanese?

You really need context for this...

Shusshin is the persons hometown and desu means it is

so if you were to use it in a sentence it would look something like

Watashi WA pari ni shusshin desu.

That means I am from Paris.

Watashi - I

WA - Topic of descussion

Pari - Paris

ni - Location particle

Shusshin - Where the person is from

Desu - It is.

Hope this helped

What is the translation of the Japanese Test on Anime Lyrics dot Com?

The purpose of that test, from what I could gather, is to prevent people who are not qualified to provide accurate translations from contributing to the site. Passing out the "answers" to this test would undermine that objective, and open the door for vandalism or poor quality translations. In other words, if you are interested in the translation of this test, I would suggest that you begin your study of the Japanese language. Learning another language, though difficult at times, can be a very rewarding experience.

What are the three main scripts of modern Japanese writing?

Modern Japanese has three scripts: Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana.

Kanji is the original script using Chinese characters, imported from Mainland Asia.

Hiragana is a flowing script adapted from Kanji (and simplified) which is used for grammar and if you don't know the Kanji for a certain word.

Katakana is like Hiragana, but very angular. This script is used for writing words that originate in another language, and the names of foreigners.

In colloquial Japanese 'boku' means 'I', so this sentence it would mean, "I don't like you". However for 'boku' to be combined with 'suki ja nai' i.e. I don't like, is odd. It would read, 'Watashi' another personal pronoun for 'I' in Japanese.

What does the word 'yosh' mean when translated from Japanese to English?

"Yosh" (technically "yoshi", よし) doesn't really have a literal translation. It's more like something you say before doing something, like you're gearing yourself up to do it. For example you might say, "Yosh, ikimasu yo!" ("Okay, let's get going!")
