Communication At Another Level (FFXI macro)

May 10th, 2009

Well I dont know if I should call this a tutorial but I want to give out what I have gathered over the last month with Japanese players trying to teach me Japanese. So im just gonna post my summary up here so American players that wants to get more involved can be better at it.

Ok firstly learning Japanese is not easy, I dont know it properly so dont take this is as a good Crash Course in Japanese.
It takes a good 4+ years becomeing a good japanese speaker.

Lets start with word for word thing
(this info on correct letters used comes from a Japanese guy)

Answeres

Yes - Hai
No - Iie
Thanks - Arigatou

Can - Dekimasu
——————
I can
Can you

Good to know

Bye - Sayonara

Reply to this with - Itterassai

Hello - Konnitiwa
Good Morning - Ohayou
Welcome - Yorosiku

Cya - Kiwotukete

Sentences
If someone says
Nihonngo Dekimasuka - Japanese can ? (Can you speak Japanese)
Dekimasuka Jananese - same as above

If you can speak japanese you reply with
Dekimasu - I can

Important to know is that japanese people read from right to left, they also build sentences in a way I havent totaly figured out yet. I will one day, il update this as I learn more.
Hope it helps a little in your journeys trough Van`diel
