hm... how about... "Watashi aku desu." That's "i am evil" I think it could be bad instead of evil... or both... >.> Or is it "Watashi wa aku desu"? the wa always confuses me... okay I'll just do another sentence.
"Anata baka usagi desu." "You are a stupid rabbit" ^_^ Did I write it right? Um... sweatdrop


((Uhhh... watashi wa aku desu is correct... the wa indicates subject. And, although I'm sure myself, you could write the second part anata wa baka usagi desu... again the wa indicating the subject. Although, you can infer the meaning in both sentences by the way you wrote them, so i guess it doesn't really matter))

how about gyuu-niku which means beef xd


wa indicate topic, subject is action doer, that is ga!!!!!! and i think she is girl? if she evil no need to be formal say "atashi aku da!"

が is the only particle that confuses me so far.

Mine is urusai (grr! Now my language bar is being stupid and won't type in Japanese anymore! scream ) which means noisy or shut up. (Thanks Aiko san.)

I never know whether to use wa or ga. I think you have to use ga when introducing a subject for the first time... but though my teachers have tried to explain it multiple times, it seems to be one of those obscure rules that don't translate well into English. The same with deciding between ni and e...

OK, my word is konyakusha! Fiancee!

My new word for today is "niwatori" ["鶏 (にわとり)"]meaning "chicken". We were in a fast food restaurant and my sister ordered chicken so...that's why I chose that word. sweatdrop

Bakahito's useless "lets impress your friends" vocabulary of the day:

液体水素燃料電池(eikitaisuisonenryoudenchi) = Hydrogen fule cell

外国人登録証明書 (gaikokujitourokushoumeisho) = Alien resident registration card

失読症 (shitsudokushou) = Dyslexia

輿論調査 (yoronchousa) = public opinion survey

萌え (moe) = a crush. Only used in referance to the feeling a nerd or Otaku gets and usually has a very bad connotation as per most Otaku related things
