hi everyone, new here so just wanted to ask if all of you or most of you guys in here are japanese, because while i was reading some of the post there were some usage of -chan, -sama. just wondering...

Well, some of the people in here are really not japanese. They learned how to speak japanese.

KONNICHIWA! MINA-SAN, O GENKI DES KA ? (Hello, How is everyone!) Welcome to the site Sylia ! There are a few members of this site that are Japanese. However, the vast majority of us are from Europe,China, SE Asia, Australia, America,Canada, South America and the Phillipines. A lot of the Japanese usage here is out of respect, personal practice, and just plain fun. But you don't have to use it if you don't want to Sylia .

yo, genki ta. In addition to the above, we can also all learn at the same time. :)

All the -chan's and -sama's and -san's with me are just anime influenced, obviously. I'm from Europe, really.
Oh, and welcome to the site, Sylia-san.

a arigatoo minasan, watashi wa benkyo o shimashita nihon'go. (oohh thank you everyone, i studied japanese) that was before, so i might be rough on my japanese. well we could all learn from each other. arigatoo again. :)

Hi & WELCOME^^.LETS PARRRTY cuz for the heck of it lol.Im an American & I know well I did know how to write,read,& speak Japanese.But I've got rusty over the past 2 years due to work(tired of work,work,work)sigh.

I'm a aussie(australian) but i really don't like talking in jap.even thought they have a great culture, artists(cartoon) and i didn't go too bad in my jap exams , i'm a french lerner at heart.
p.s-jap is a cool lanuage!!:bounce:

Yea Japanese culture is the most interesting than our own(American)culture.And there language is very cool.And there beliefs are very interesting too.

Konichiwa wa watashi no tomodachi.
O Genki Desu Ka? Genki Desu. LOL
My Japanese is truly horrid it's also terribly rusty as Gokubussjr's said his is. the san, chan and Sama are all honorifics like Mr., Mrs., and Miss for example. Just in case anyone out there was wondering what they were. LOL
