Yuzu = a citrus fruit, like oranges/mandarin oranges

well, I took about two years' worth of japanese in sophomore year, but most of my vocab comes from the wife of a neighbor, who gave me all these little books to read. She was so pleased someone wanted to learn japanese :d
There were books with things like "girigiri" and other double-words that are kind of like english onomatopeia, and two more about "those stupid gaijin" :p

by litany Sat Jul 04, 2009 2:59 pm

haha, those sound like fun books for a gaijin to read--Japanese onomatopeia is about 100 times more awesome than the English equivalent, no?

zubon is an awesome word.
Or "zuruzuru" like a snake crawling :p

by litany Sat Jul 04, 2009 3:41 pm

XDD, just so you know, ending a word with 'n' usually means you lose (because you can't begin a word with the japanese 'n' phonetic), but I'll play it your way. ^_^
btw, zuruzuru is now my new favorite sound.
