@ScriptingJapan Food is transient. Wabi-Wasabi.

@blockwonkel Finding beauty in the fleeting nature of the pain shooting through your nose

@ScriptingJapan You just taught me the to hug verb and I think I will never forget it haha

@kpoper_cansada Be careful because it also means "have sex". I'm not being silly, it's important to know this. The borrowing ハグする is unambiguous as hug.

@ScriptingJapan Can also mean "bang a snowboard" 板抱きます

@drinkintokyo Or a stomach only comes

@ScriptingJapan I have to make the complaint that 居た could never be translated as "it"

@sirati97 In what world can't it?

@ScriptingJapan No, it means “I am receiving.”

@mimisheean Wow thanks I had no idea.

@ScriptingJapan "Down the hatch" as the current pokemon English dub says.

@LostMediaDetec1 I don't hate that translation.

@ScriptingJapan Dakimasu can also mean to make love😄

@ScriptingJapan 慰霊塔の前で皆仲良くして「献花」しないでください。

@ScriptingJapan This must be a joke. Itadakimasu comes from itadaku, the polite form of to receive, to have. Masu is the polite form of a predicate. The direct translation is "Respectfully, I receive." Not many people are using it literally, though. "Let's eat." and have fun.

@ScriptingJapan Wait, don’t they say “itadakimasu?” Which means “I humbly receive this food?”

@ScriptingJapan I remember buying a Teriyaki meal set in a Dutch supermarket that said 'Ita Dakimasu'. I think it reflects the spiritual practice of thanking the kami of construction, by hugging a plank before dinner.

@ScriptingJapan lolololololol... I once heard a teacher telling students to memorise it through "eat a duck, I must" 😂🦆

@ZaccyMan Sorry I have N-0 so I now actually get to make the rules of Japanese.
