This is used even when you are not wonDering.

Or lengthened to のです And なのです

Ha, it would be really cool, especially if I could read the kanji. But, we haven't gone that far yet.
But I thought that Japanese men don't mind if a foreign woman acts more manly or works, because they don't understand the culture. Then why should we be outcasts? Pray tell, I'm interested.

This is exactly why japanese people outcast white foreigners, they dont know what to do like the others.

SO YOU WANT TO KILL THAT STEREOTYPE!!!!!

Other countries, like india and korea observe traditions and such, like japan, but what want to note is womens speech, in your country to speak like a women, you just need to say "like, omg" and wave your hands around sweatdrop

Japan a somewhat sexist country, has no room fot simple change of intonation.


So just do as ive said and you ll be fine,

O_O 'Like OMG' is prep-talk...and it became uncool about a week after it became cool. If you say this, you're either making fun of preps or you ARE a prep.

Prep = (stereotype) Stupid, shallow, wears short skirts (sometimes plaid), cheerleader, mean, bad in school, popular at school but only because she's pretty.

And maybe it's your english, but did I understand you right?
Does this incline, that I want to kill that stereotype by not talking like a woman, or you're telling me to kill that stereotype?
