Using Japanese words in english sentences.

Quote from Dr. Love
Also, English speakers pronounce 'e' differently than for example the Dutch. Actually they pronounce it as how Dutch people would pronounce 'i'. I don't really know the whole linguistic term for how you call that thing, but when a natural-born English speaker tries to say a Japanese word they usually butcher it. 🤣 Unless they've trained themselves in it, of course.
Well, that's my take at least.
My linguistics teacher said this is called having an accent. Apparently a very bad one sometimes. 🤣
I don't mix Japanese words into my English sentences. Only if I happen to be making a reference to a manga which is rare. Well, I usually speak English no matter what language someone else is speaking to me even if I can speak the other language.

Usually when I don't want people to understand what I mean, I start speaking French.
Of course, I don't know enough French to spend a whole day only speaking it, but I speak a good deal of French to my dad, who, well, can't speak French.
As for Japanese words, I use those around people I'm really comfortable with, so they don't make fun of my stupid pronunciation, and only when I consider it necessary. (For example, saying "shounen manga" instead of "Japanese comic books directed at boys." )
I sort of consider the non-Japanese-speakers' Japanese terms to be a language of its own due to distortions of original meanings. Therefore, when people such as fangirls start speaking in English with random Japanese words thrown in, I just think of them as speaking a somewhat understandable different language.

Definitely not. Other than referring to things that have no translation, I have no reason to use them.

Common sense just isn't that common

Never when I'm speaking English.... but I sometimes mix up Japanese and Mandarin unintentionally.
EDIT:
Actually, I occasionally do use when speaking English, but only with Japanese people. Ew.
People who talk like that to other Japanese people to make themselves look "knowledgeable" are retarded as fuck and should die.
Most Japanese people despise weeaboos and when they talk fail Japanglish, so dont think it makes you look "cool" - just retarded.
Anyone who mixes English and Japanese are fucking losers who need to stfu. The true sign on a weeaboo!

Potty mouth much?
I say people who uses a lot of profanity a lot are even worse than people who mixes languages together.
Some Japanese words can't exactly be translated into english. That might be what he meant. :\

It's kind of common to mix two languages. Even the Japanese include English words in daily conversations. I know some people who aren't even into animanga, but they mix the two languages unintentionally. Clearly, the one so quick to judge a weeaboo is the weeaboo himself. 🙄

I think you misunderstood me, dear.... some of my clients who visit my atelier are Japanese and aren't fluent in English, so I explain certain stuff in Japanese to them... I don't see anything wrong with that and they appreciate it most of the time.
.... and talking like a crack-hoe seems to be all you're good at.... wonder if that's popular these days among you "non-weeaboos" ?

I either say the entire thing in English or say the entire thing in Japanese.
Though, it doesn't bother me when people do it.
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.

it's really annoying when someone does it repeatedly, my old social teacher would randomly mix in japanese and french when he was talking and it was annoying as hell

When girls do it be cute, like say stuff like "you're neko desu!" or "I'm so baka" or " this is kawaii" it is very damn annoying. It also makes them seem very stupid and I can't help but lose respect for someone who does it.
If it's unintentional or used in an attempt to communicate, like when I sometimes use English words when communicating with my French penpal, often when I have no idea what the word is in French, it's forgivable and can't be avoided.

too bad?
I never meant words like "sushi" or whatnot that can't be translated, I meant words like "kawaii" and "baka" that make you sound stupid.

But you quoted G-17, in which you jumped to conclusions and assumed the scenario without thinking straight.
Furthermore, when I was talking about the Japanese words "which can't exactly be translated into english", I didn't mean simple words like "sushi "-.-;;,
If you would have read G-17's reply, you would understand the situation/scenario better and not simply jump to conclusions and call it "stupid"/"retarded" etc.
Either this was a bad choice of quoting or simply a disregard to the forum rules.
