>_< So close on so many things but so far.
"yamero yo" is just "yamero". "Yo" is the equivalent to "hey" so it would be like "hey, quit it"
Suki is do like. Desu is simply stating something. It doesnt translate over THAT well but its affirming something. IE "Soo desu" means "that is so" but "soo" by itself means "that is"... kinda like that.
Chan is not used exclusively for girls. Its used for children in general. Kun is just used for boys but you can also use chan. So like Hiroshikun could also be called Hiroshichan.
Anesan is really "Ooneesan" it literally means older sister. "Oo" in japanese is the same as "Dai" (same kanji too). It means great, or large, or in this case older. It means "Big Sister"
Neesan on the other hand is a vernacular for oonesan. Its not specifically older sister but someone referring to someone outside their family as their older sister. Its meant in an endearing way.
Boozu is another vernacular. Its an older person talking to a younger boy. Its actually the name of the buzz style haircut that generically all japanese little boys have. It can be interpreted as "squirt" to make things simple.
Gambate yo means "good luck" or "do your best".
Gambata yo means "I did my best"
"a" here making the phrase past tense.
Anata and anta are backwards. Anata is more of what a wife would say to a husband, its very endearing. It would be odd for a gf to say it to her bf. Anta means "you" and it doesnt matter who it comes from. It almost always comes from a guy because, in japanese, saying "you" is threatening. Notice you never hear anyone say "you" unless they are mad. Its very impolite to call someone by something other than their name or another polite term for them. "Anta" is almost an accusation of something.
Kampai is the japanese equivalent to "cheers!"
It-terashai. You had the definition right but I want to emphasis that it's "it te"
Watashi means "I" but its a very adult way of saying it. Women almost always use this way of referring to themselves but men have more choices.
Boku is the kid boy's way of saying "I" although ive seen guys use this up to their 30s.
Ore is the "bad ass" way of saying "I". Generally used by derelict men but also by that kind of women.
Taijutsu is a funny one. It isn't hand to hand combat ive heard of it used to describe aerobics and gymnastics before.
Genjutsu directly translated means "illusionary techniques"
Shinobi isnt ninja per se... I forget the actual meaning but its a warrior of some kind. Not necessarily ninja.
Zepuku is "Sepuku" aka "belly slashing". Its also called "Hara kiri" which means to cut your stomach lol. It wasnt done instead of surrender all the time. It was a way of honoring yourself out of defeat. IE if you had defamed your family, this might be a way of redeeming yourself. Its performed by inserting your side knife parallel into your side, turning it perpendicular, then sliding it to the other side of your body and making it parallel again. All without making a sound. Then you let your bowels spill out onto the floor, contemplate all the unhonorable things you have done and repent. After a bit, your apprentice cuts your head off leaving a sliver of skin on the front so your head doesnt flop around (that would be dishonoring). If your apprentice cant do it... well youre kinda ****ed. Oh and you have to put down a white piece of cloth under you so you dont dirty the place up with your blood... because thats dishonorable too.
Hope that helps some.
