mimiguille well I don't know how it is spelled, but... kakoi - cool I always hear this when girls talk about sasuke, or if people are amazed by other people's skills... sweatdrop It's "kaukoii", and it actually has more of a sense of "good-looking", but only refering to guys. Not really handsome though. sweatdrop can't really explain it. Oh, and incidently, even though I'm not sure if they use it, another word for seven is nana. (yes, sounds ridiculous, but whatever) And Sasuke's clan name, "Uchiha", which can also be pronounced "Uchiwa" would mean "My house(clan) is". So, Sasuke's name could be translated as "My house is Sasuke." Uchi meaning house/clan. Ooh, and "Koroshite" means "I'll kill you", I think.. sweatdrop "Naruto" means spiral. And Uzumaki is this kind of fish cake with a spiral on it. 3nodding "Ino" means boar I don't remember shika and cho... sweatdrop And Sakura's full name, "Haruno Sakura" means "Cherry blossom of spring"

Let's see. I think I have a few corrections on those. Double check me, please. sweatdrop
Uchiha I think has a double-meaning as fan, as exampled by the Uchiha Clan symbol.
I thought Koroso meant I'll kill you, but you're probably right.
Naruto and Ino are correct. Nara is deer. Chou is butterfly.. Uhm.. Sakura's name is correct.
One more thing. I think why is "nande".
Thank you so much for the support! heart
