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.

I'm sorry, but i cant take it when people that aren't native/fluent in it mix it in with English just to seem "Cool"

I had an icon for this, but i lost it.

I don't, but it doesn't really bother me that much.

Since I do to a certain degree speak the Japanese language, I end up translating most of the things I hear/read into both Japanese and French in my head. It's just a habit.

Thats probably because for about 5 years I was planning to become an interpreter..

Except for the words anime, manga and manko, I really don't mix my english with Japanese. Is it wrong that I taught one of my little cousins to point and yell manko repeatedly whenever she sees a pretty woman? 🤣

Quote from lokita

I cannot stand fangirl Japanese. It's incredibly irritating.

neither can I! >:-(
specially when they spell them wrong in romanji, I don't know why that just pisses me off!! like I've seen like 7 different spellings of 'thank you' in Japanese!

Ah, I can't say that I do this unless I'm describing something in Japanese, like sushi, sake, udon, ramune, pocky, manga, anime, yuri, yaoi, shoujo, decora, ganguro, yamanba, center guy, gyaru, gyaruo, kogal, kegadoru, and other such things. So pretty much food, manga/anime, and fashions.

I do have trouble when I learn new languages though because I always mix up words, or have trouble finding the word I want. I know that I am thinking of the small furry animal, but is the word I want katze, chat, кот, neko, gato, cat, or gatto?

The only time I use Japanese outside of these times, is when it is part of a reference or a joke.

I do use Japanese words in my sentences. Simple things like 'Gomen' instead of sorry, kawaii, arigatou, jaa mata and stuff like that. I don't see why it is such a big deal. Sometimes, when u watch too much anime, you tend to speak like an anime character.. Haha..

I only use japanese words/sentences when I'm fooling around. I do it intentionally because it breaks the ice. Yeah, gotta sacrifice the dorkness XD
But when I'm seriously talking I never mix up english with other languages unless I'm not sure of a word and ask in spanish.

Although I do use japanese words like; manga (and all manga genres), places, and when teaching my friends a new word. <3

So yeah... I vote for 'No'.

I don't do it myself. It's the true sign of a weeaboo when they do that.

Do you use japanese words in your sentences?

No. Period.
Using Japanese words in sentences would be fine if YOU were Japanese.
But, than again. If not. Shut the hell up and don't do it ever again.
