Tokyo Mew Mew is an anime. Translation - it comes from Japan. Meaning, in the original version (which is what we follow here), there are going to be lots of Japanese terms used. And some of them, although we speak English here, might make it into the general discussion here. So, this is a thread to post terms and their English definitions. Please note that these may not be exact, as I, personally, do not take Japanese. Also, please feel free to add to the list if you feel something is missing. 3nodding
(Format - Japanese Term: English Term)
Suffixes (after names)
-san: Mr., Mrs., Miss
-chan: indicates a level of familiarity; usually used with girls
-kun: indicates a level of familiarity; usually used with boys
-sama: indicates a high level of respect
-dono: very rarely used nowadays, but indicates a somewhat personal relationship with a superior. For example, in feudal Japan, a lord's favorite samurai would use -dono to address him. This is only included for reference, but still.
-ko: indicates familiarity with a female
-tachi: one way to pluralize something (ie. Mew Mew written as Mew Mew-tachi would mean Mew Mews)

I know there is a suffix for people competing in contests, but I dun remember what it is. XP
imoutosan: little sister
otoutosan: little brother
obaa-chan: Grandma (used familiarly)
ojii-san: Grandpa (used familiarly)
kisshu: quiche
pai: pie (Um duh?)
taruto: tart

You can also add a 'domo' infront of 'arigatou' or 'arigatou gozaimasu' to make it more formal.
Domo --> domokun XD Just kidding.
