Japanese vocabulary is determined by throwing tiny pieces of sushi at a dart board with several random syllables attatched to it

English Sentence:
Jane went to the school.

Same Sentence In Japanese:
School Jane To Went Monkey Apple Carbeurator

the Japanese word for "you", for example, when written in kanji, translates to"I hope a monkey scratches your face off"

Because of this, the sentence "He just killed her!" and "I just killed her!" sound exactly the same, meaning that most people in Japan have no idea what is going on around them at any given moment. You are supposed to figure these things out from the "context", which is a German word meaning "you're screwed".


Japanese culture is also very "interesting", by which we mean "confusing" and in several cases "dangerous".


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is hilarious! :)

Glad you liked it. Japanese isn't that bad, but there are a number of points that are not far from the truth. You might try the other article I linked on there-- it equates Gundam toy fighters to Japanese verb grammar.
