Sayonara! I used to sing the song in Kindergarten :)

Quote by BobaFett2haI can't believe everyone learned all these relatively obscure words before they ever heard the word "ninja" or "karate".

I always though 'Karate' was Chinese when I was a kid. (But now I know better)

So 'Sayonara' was the first Japanese word I ever learnt, but I didn't know it was Japanese. I thought it was Mexican or Spanish until a few months ago (lol)

But the first Jap word I learnt that I knew was Jap was proably 'Origato', followed closely by 'Kawaii' or 'Konichiwa'.
Hmm. I also recall a time in Primary School when I ran around saying 'chibi' ... I'm not sure about that one though ...

<laugh> well mine was "bakayarou" ^^ I found it with my friend in a Gundam Wing fanfick we read :D we still use it to confuse one of our friends ;) <poor thing still doesn't know what it means and is to lazy to check it > ^^
and there's also chibi ^.^ I loved whatching SM and there's Chibi-usa ;)
Right now my friends at school call me chibi <happy> ^^ really love them for that :*

baka neko(not sure with the spelling) was the first word i learned

For me, sadly, it was in Naruto's OVA (the one that had to do with the hidden waterfall village and like a special water that would make you 100x more powerful so you could defeat your enemy, but then you would die after it were off):

CASOU! NANDA UKTAI!

Sub Translation:
DAMMIT! WHAT THE HELL?!

He was cursing because he stepped in dog shit! :D XD lol

Another one (which I think is officially my first word, other than the typical baka, konichwa, hai, iie) was:

Ursaratonkatchi

Sub Translation:

Dumbass

Sadly another Naruto, but this is funnier cause Sasuke was always calling Naruto a "dumbass" whenever he did something wrong.

Ok, I'm done!

Ja, ikeze!

Sanjay

mine was kawaii

its defenetly the most comon lol

kawaii! cute!

then neko!

neck= kitty

mine was hai and konnichiwa

dont really remember... i think it was 'suki'...

my first was ''konnichiwa'' which i forgot what it means, ummm good afternoon? lol and also 'watachiwa' wchi i dotn kno how to spell oh and moshi moshi or w-e lol

I learned baka first :-p love that word

the first ones i learned were "Arigato gosaemas" (spelling?) Thank you very much.

The first word I've learn was "Arigato" means Thank you.

I learnt Sayonara.. haha.. common...

Konnichiwa, meaning 'Hello' and 'Good afternoon'. That was the only word I knew from Japanese until I started learning the language only 4 years ago.

1) Arigatou (From Ramen shop)
2) Ohaiyo (From a classmate)
3) Baka (From anime)

"kawaii" xD can't remember why

Hm.. I think my first word was Kawaii or Baka. But I think it Baka was the first word la. And of coz... I know more words now than before. =P

like everyone i suppose, i heard "sayonara" when i was still just a little girl. I didn't even know what language this word was coming from...

I was gonna say Ohio...but then I realised I knew about Sushi even earlier when I watched Ninja Turtles as a toddler.

Quote by Sh0tGuNthe first ones i learned were "Arigato gosaemas" (spelling?) Thank you very much.

lolx... it is arigatou gozaimasu, the more polite way is add the do(u)mo arigatou gozaimasu.
ps: u dun need to pronouce the u in doumo, just say domo

arigato if i remember right

Ikimasu! (Here it goes, if I'm right)

My japanese first word was 'Kawaii', if I can trust my memorie ^^;

moshi moshi xD konnichi wa , arigatou, hai and gomen nasai
