May someone please translate these words to Japanese for me? I don't want it to be written in Japanese, here's an example. If I wanted to know what "How are you" means, please don't put "元気ですか".
Put: "Ogenki Desu Ka".

But these are the words/sentences that I'd love to have translated.

"What's up?"
"Please?"
"Sorry".

Arigatou! :3

I've heard a few different ways to say "What's up" but the one that I can remember at the moment is "Nanika atta". I'm not 100% sure if that's right though, I'm still trying to learn the language myself. ^_^' Sorry. As for "sorry" the less formal way of saying it is "gomen" though I'm pretty sure I've heard that it's also used as something like a "Pardon me"

What's up? - choushi wa dou desu ka? OR saikin wa dou desu ka?
Please - onegai OR onegaishimasu (more formal)
Sorry - gomen OR gomennasai (more formal)

SadPanda-DX3 mentioned "nanika atta" but that's not exaclty right, as it literally means "Did anything happen?".

a short kind of slang of what's up is "ossu"

An even less formal way to say sorry "sumimasen" this is more of an excuse me; I'm sorry. Like you just bumped into someone accidentally. "sumimasen"

Onegai is fine but again this is rather formal. If you are wanting to get something and say please you could also say "...kudasai" which is more like please give me. like if you were ordering a meal or coffee. "koohii o kudasai"

I agree with the very informal "ossu" XD but again it depends on region or dialect...and prefference. *^_^*
