Swearing in Japanese

[@jgkutube1]

My mom used to yell 'Baka!' occasionally, pretty sure that counts as swearing lol

[@marionnette6231]

Counts as idiot, in a nicer way.

[@TeresMajor96]

Like you lil eejit

[@Master_Blackthorne]

That word would be used to describe a politician--especially after they've made a speech.

[@isiaadiel3468]

One of my friends that helps with my conversation said he gets asked it alot but has to respond that they don't exist. There is no swearing, just disrespect as being polite and respectful is most important to people. I offended someone for dipping rice in soy sauce.

[@noobita4336]

how about pouring soy sauce in rice?

[@anido-4703]

@@noobita4336 Yeah I pour soy sauce on rice but dipping rice in soy sauce is disrespectful

The whole puritanical part was very insightful, thank you for posting these random videos I never thought I needed.

Mach Kobayashi: chikushou is god dammit like its somekind of bad... Naruto when still a kid: CHIKUSHOUUUUUU

[@sarahroberts7374]

3:43 I laughed at that.. never mind learning swear words as so many other ways to offend 😂. So true. But yeah this was actually a really insightful analysis into the cultural context of offence. But delivered in your usual supercool funny style 😊. Please keep making videos! I have a short attention span not many people keep me sticking round til the end of the video 🙈🤣. Peace out ☺👍

[@desiryollica3084]

It means japanese are really prim in language, anyways u look good with your new hair color 😊

[@andywilde559]

Really informative, especially the US/ Japan comparison in that regard. どうもありがとう

[@DanielBrowne-dz7we]

How could you not know about “bakayaro” ??

[@gritlup2089]

I've been watching your Japanese vids because i'm trying to learn Japanese and they are fantastic. Great job keep it up.

[@Eedorian]

You forgot to mention the most rude way for saying "you" of them all - kisama!

[@Master_Blackthorne]

Chikushou is said after Godzilla levels your town.

[@yukihirahayashi9256]

I hope you might build more videos for common-conversion Japanese sentences someday!!! I’ll really appreciate for that!!! :))) 頑張ってよ！

[@Master_Blackthorne]

Swearing is calling on a deity for a witness. Cursing is calling evil down on a person place or thing.

[@busek2059]

Great video🐣

[@PositivelyPiano]

Great take! I learned japanese from my parents and in the summers with my grandparents, some in college... with pink hair haha... and can totally relate to this! Actually, you taught me more baddish words in this video lol

[@kittagp]

This is so beautiful! Natives have to really think to come up with swearing. 😍

[@tootyytootyy3806]

I liked that when there is no swearing words

Just watched the Love Guru yesterday and now I know why he says Tabarnac like that lol

[@iceg6621]

Rex Holmberg I've seen The Zohan, maybe I should watch Love Guru? Have you seen Zohan? do you recommend LG?

[@rexamai4982]

Ice G Love Guru is hilarious deff worth the watch. The Zohan is great also!

[@iceg6621]

Rex Holmberg Alright! I'll watch it soon! ☺ thanks for replying, I was genuinely curious!

[@marionnette6231]

As a Quebecer, the swear words that derive from the church are funny to anyone from France. But we do differentiate the swearing and the actual word, so tabernak like you said it would be ta-bar-nak without the e there. The emphasis is important tho. Great vid bro!

[@wazabi41]

Yup, French Canadian approves. Pretty much all of the ''church words'' are used as curses, other than that its the same as English, but we see them as pretty rude since they act as insults and not just swears.

How can you say “Would you give me money” in Japanese? ☺️

[@peteranthonybulan5331]

In old Philippine World War 2 movies, when Japanese soldiers would say something bad to any of the characters, they often say "BAKERO NE!"...so as kids, we would say that to each other and find it funny. :)

[@jusmt5079]

Is baka considered to be a sware or an inappropriate insult?

[@RJDmomma]

Anime ... the answer is anime.

[@ordinarypen8369]

So doing anything that makes you look like the nail sticking out is more effective than swearing, if I'm understanding correctly...? Example: Using chopsticks wrong in Japan because you want to = The n-word? Or something along those lines...?

[@sloesty]

ahou ga!

[@lisalisa3110]

My dad used to say ppaga... I thought it meant dumb

[@h.seanhsu8965]

Japanese swear by acting passive-aggressively?

[@roso827]

Wait are you married I've been watching your learning japanese videos and I got confused...

[@Milark]

are you a native Japanese speaker?

[@MachWerx]

Nah, I mostly learned from my mom growing up, from trips to Japan as a kid, and from a couple semesters of Japanese in college.

[@crysanthimus]

'Kuso' 👌

[@BenEKay]

How do you say “you” in a more formal way? It’s Anata, right?

[@monde4547]

Nope, "you" is generally omitted and it's more common to use person’s (family) name and attach a suffix (san, shi) or their title (buchou, department chief). Anata sounds quite unnatural if used too much.

[@BenEKay]

幻想的なMonde oh I see. So it all depends on how you use it and who specifically you use it to?

[@monde4547]

@@BenEKay Yup, anata sometimes even sounds rude as we expect the name of the person to be used. Ben-E-Kay-san is everything clear? Like this.

[@BenEKay]

幻想的なMonde lol yeah I understand. Thanks for your help. I plan on going to Japan after uni and I wanna learn as much as I can.

[@dyseroll012]

Don't know if I'm right or not, but I wonder if you asked a bunch of guys working construction or the trades or playing a sport whether you'd get a different answer. My Japanese partner said she didn't learn these words because of the gender language norms in Japan - i.e. by and large, woman don't swear. So here you've got a guy who learned from his mother asking a female Japanese friend... It doesn't seem that credible that Japan doesn't have abusive language beyond 'that guy' or using the wrong form of 'you'.

[@MachWerx]

Yeah, I've asked Japanese men and there are Japanese words for all the English curse words, but it just doesn't have the same connotation. It'd be like saying, "Intercourse you, fecal-head!". Similarly, things that are offensive in Japanese just don't translate the same way in English.

[@greggdourgarian5853]

Enjoying your videos. You seem like a very thoughtful person, so I'd like to invite you to think about further about the foundations of Christian civilization re sex. "The union of man and woman in marriage is a way of imitating in the flesh the Creator's generosity and fecundity: "Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh."121 All human generations proceed from this union.1" . This is straight from the Catholic catechism. Note the teaching is not 'negative' in any way. It's about living a fuller, richer life. Have a great day and looking forward to more of your videos.

[@ewwwt]

why not just invent the word using katakana? :/
