...other Japanese speakers feel free to post supplementary lessons. Make sure everything you teach pertains to Transformers though.



Now go forth and study these words/phrases!

Mate, the Japanese for "transform" is "henshin", but in the Japanese show, the Cybertrons said "henshin" and the destrons said "toransufomu".

Interesting vid though!

It's "Transformers Japanese"! And in the Japanese Transformers show, all Transformers (other than Beast Wars & the Car Robot Destrongers) used the "toransufoomu" command.

The "toransufoomu" command was used throughout all of G1, including the Japanese dub of Transformers the Movie.

Great! I want more!

Any Transformer technique to learn Kanji faster? I only know the work-your-ass-off no jutsu...

No TF techniques for learning Kanji. My advice is:
1/ Flashcards.
2/ Practice, practice and more practice. Read and write as much as you can.

Heh heh, that's what I thought
I saw those cards before; I'm gonna get a set. Banzai!

It isn't Transformers related, but I learned a little (and since forgot) of the languge from watching that blasted 10 hour Final Fantasy X movie DVD.

In the Japanese beast wars 2nd show, the cybertrons said "henshin" and the destrons said "toransufomu" or vice versa. they didnt say the same thing as far as I recall.

BWII Cybertrons have beast modes, therefore they say "henshin." The Destrons mostly have vehicle modes, therefore they say "toransufoomu." IIRC the Destron Cyber-Beasts say "henshin."

In BW Neo, both Cybertrons and Destrons say "henshin" because they all have beast modes.

Why are you guys speaking English in the Japanese forum?

わたしのねこはねずみをたべます.

Tadaaaa! (Haven't found translation to Kanji yet.)

Because I cant be bothered to write in Japanese. I have to speak it every bloody day as it is. Right now some crazy foreign women are screaming at each other on Japanese TV.
