'Sugoi' is used for cool now Comment by: Soji

Sugoi? Isn't kakkoii more like cool? Comment by: mmm    Rated:5/5

sugoi/kakkoii might depend on context. you may say that a movie or situation is sugoi, but that hot guy is kakkoii. Comment by: makoto   

isnt Ikasu Black? Comment by: Hi?   

tihs word is too old. Comment by: yoshi   

I think the ganguro trend is dead. You won't see them in gal magazines anymore. Comment by: Miki   

Yamamaba tend to do this kind of stuff. They end up looking like a negative of a goth photo or something. Comment by: Rob   

No, they exist. I've seen a few. It's just that they're not as common as they used to be. People usually look down on them. Comment by: Kat   

ganguro is an old word. manba took place of it after it died outl. now they are just called gal, but not alot of tanning anymore. Comment by: li-chan   

It should be "to meet with an accident" in English. Comment by: docweb    Rated:3/5

kei wai : kuuki = airrnyomenai = not able to readrnrnso obviously it means that you cant read the air. The idiom is in both Japanese and English, and they mean the same thing. So to say that there is no English translation is a lie. Comment by: Joe Delete Comment by: Joe   

It is used when someone makes a random comment or does something totally out of context of the conversation going on around himself/herself.rnrnThis can also be used to describe someone who is acting inconsiderately. For example, if a group of people go out to dinner and some people's entrees are delivered before others. If someone begins eating their food before others have received theres, then that person is K.Y. Comment by: Kyle   

It sounds like a specific example of the Englisn slang term "airhead". Comment by: docweb    Rated:4/5

Don't forget that the word kimoi comes from two words smushed together -- kimochi and warui. Comment by: Dan Monahan    Rated:4/5

In Kansai the use Kishoi Comment by: Mizuta   

Hard to translate, unpleasantly SLIMY? I would say. In context, ( i was chatted up by a Kimoi guy, yuck!!) kimoi hito ni hanashikakerareta, Girls' talk . Comment by: deibitto   

I didn't　know that kimoi was a bad thing to say and when i said it in front of my homestay mom i got a pretty lengthy lecture. be careful where you use it -.-" and as dan said, in front of adults say kimochi warui. bad feeling Comment by: :/   

wouldn't mazui be a "safe" word to use? i often hear it in anime for this type of thing. Comment by: SteelGolem   

well, "mazui" if for when a situation is bad. Comment by: yamiko aizawa    Rated:2/5

it was funny Comment by: chell    Rated:5/5

Actually, it's pronounced KUSOTTARE Comment by: Mark the R    Rated:2/5

HAHA I wanna say that to someone in english! Comment by: Lola   

lol this is my favorite word!!! Comment by: i rule the world    Rated:5/5

japanese are very clean people, so saying something like that would be a pretty big slap in the face Comment by: SteelGolem   

"Kuso" can, in fact, be used to talk about the thing (feces) itself, in addition to being used as an expletive. It's also used in compounds such as "hanakuso" (boogers; literally "nose-shit"), "kusomajime" (overly serious), and "hetakuso" (extremely unskilled or clumsy). Comment by: Nombiri    Rated:3/5

"Kuso" actually means "shit" in both its English senses. "kuso suru" means to "shit" (verb), and you can yell it out as an expletive. Comment by: Rick    Rated:2/5

Umm, actually it is the thing too!! Comment by: Oredazo    Rated:2/5

This is a great four-letter sub for ye olde Anglo-Saxon expletive; it has the force and brevity needed to properly carry one's frustration as well as the English equivalent. Comment by: Valvicus    Rated:5/5

No, it also literally means "shit."　This is the kanji: 糞. Comment by: Mike    Rated:1/5

Actually, it doesn't have nearly the force of the English "shit." Little kids say it front of their teachers and parents all the time. It's not polite, but it's a very mild verbal transgression. And the compounds, like "nose shit," "ear shit," and any similar combo you can come up with, are perfectly acceptable--these are the only words for these things that even many adults know. Comment by: Peter   

I've also heard you can use "Kakoi" or "かこい" as an alternative to the cognate. Comment by: Amaya-chan~   

I'd use "kakkoii" for cool and "kawaii" for sweet personally Comment by: Lithium   

but Kawaii literally means CUTE right? Comment by: YuriMacki   

i generally use sugoii for cool Comment by: samu desu!   

"Kuuru" is just the English word but with a Japanese accent. Comment by: Hitsugaya_taicho   

sugoii is like wow or you say if surprised Comment by: ichiban   

I hear this amillion times a day at school here Comment by: Willy    Rated:5/5

Yeah, thats right, i hear it among the college folk as far as i have heard.. Comment by: stefan    Rated:5/5

I think when it's said without the question intonation at the end it takes on the meaning of 'no kiddin' or 'obviously'(�H) Comment by: tokyo-t    Rated:3/5

I've heard this MANY times, its hip i think. Definitely something to pull out, its fun. Comment by: YouDontMeanMuch    Rated:5/5

i love this 1... i used it to much when i was in japan Comment by: gabuchin    Rated:5/5

It means "really?" the kanji is the exact same as honto (ni?) and means the same thing? eichi is dating yuu? majide!!! majidesuyo! (eichi is dating yuu? no way! serious man!) Comment by: qQshA    Rated:5/5

wicked word, i titwank on ur mum Comment by: pussylicker

Someone said: "best ever in the chines world" You mean Japanese. -.-'' anyway this is a very gross perverted word and id nvr use it Comment by: Kakushi    Rated:1/5

My Japanese buddy explained that it is a word that guys will use around their guy friends because its not only rude, but you can easily piss a girl off in no time flat by using this word. Comment by: Rob   

I love it when people say this lol Comment by: Iman    Rated:5/5

I too love it when anime chars say it in anime. Especially during dramatic/climatic parts, because the next part after that usually is really interesting. Comment by: Rinako Kusaki    Rated:5/5

it's a grammar, and can be used both in a sentence, or as a standalong phrase. i.e. masaka ore ha nihongo wo manabeta to omowanakatta! I never thought I would be able to learn Japanese! masaka - I would of never guessed! - No way! etc Comment by: qQshA    Rated:5/5

thats out of date all the way. Comment by: teddy bear   

Fetish? It's a description used to identify some characters who are extremely cute. Never heard or read of it being used as a fetish. Comment by: totlmstr
