  • Fighto! Hahaha, I'm not sure if that's an actual Japanese word, but it's used often in animes. Its ridiculous similarity to English (its definition is translated as fight) is what attracts me.

  • Hajime - beginning
    Soara - soarer
    and generally anything long that I can say to freak out otakus who only know the few Japanese words like.
    Ikaseraretakunakatta - I didn't want to be forced to go.
    or
    ikanakereba naranai - I must go or else I'll be in big doodoo
    I also like the verb hanasu - to speak, because I like working with the su verbs the best.
     

    the bitter end.

    It's spelled "Faito," and I'm pretty sure it's Engrish.

  • Sakura.

    Because it was probably one of the first Japanese words I ever heard (Cardcaptor Sakura ftw :3), and I just like what it translates to <3

    Also, I like aiiro because it means indigo/dark blue~

  • I think De, Arimasu is since it means yes sir and I love that word due to Keroro Gunso...maybe Kero too since it is the japanese ribbit...so hard too choose.

    Sake!

    I'd say sakura, if only because I've seen it so many places, and it was one of the first Japanese words I've learned. I also like cherry trees. ^^

    Er . . . it'd honestly have to be mizu. It means 'water', it sounds nice, and it's the only kanji I can actually draw/write.
