Some of us are in are own little world when it comes to Inuyasha. And some of us raving fangirls and otakus like speaking in Japanese, just like our dear subtitled episodes.

So, if anyone would care to create a dictionary of most used phrases, it would be handy. I would, but I am a little busy right now... stare I can only add a few in...

Feel free to create your own little dictionaries in this topic. It would be very helpful! *glomps*

Jikusho (something like that >_<): Damn/Sh*t (a swear word that inuyasha uses often)
Kaze no Kizu: Roughly translates as Cutting Wind (Kaze means wind)... an attack of Tetsaiga.

ojii-san = old man, grandfather

Watashi = me, I

wa = particle that shows ppl what u wanna say, the strong part of the sentence (egg.: Watashi wa desu. My name is / I am ; Watashi wa seito desu. I am a pupil.)

Chikushou = s**t

Kuso = the f word

Kaze no Kizu = kizu -> wound; kaze -> wind; so a mottamo translation would be The Wind Wound
