Ok, it's about time I taught you some Japlish. It's everywhere in Japan, and it's easy.
What's Japlish? It's Japanese-English, which is used in everyday life, and which Japanese people believe you should know because it's 'English'. So perhaps if you learn a little Japlish, you can get by in Japan without even learning real Japanese.
Let's start with the basics:
"Combini" = Convienence Store.
"Mansion" = Apartment Blocks
"Pasucom" = Laptop (Personal Computer)
"Honey or Darling" = boyfriend or girlfriend. (Usage: "Do you have a darling?" or "My honey wrote me a song") Hmm how very quaint.
"Labu Labu" (love love) = In Love (first time someone asked me this, I had no idea what they were talking about!) (Usage: If you answer positively to 'Do you have a darling?' the next question might be, "Labu Labu?")
"Nooto" = Notebook
"Shu (shoe) Cream" = Cream Puff
"Makudo" or "Makku" = Mac Donalds
"Fight!" = Try hard (Usage: "I will Fight!" - used during exams or sports, etc.)
I'll Fight!! to think of more Japlish later.
