    I've been learning Japanese (日本語) for a few weeks and just figured how to write it on the computer so I wanted use my new skillz.
    Anyway katakana words are basically words that come from other languages and just get pronounced with a Japanese accent. I put some easy to guess words that I thought were humerous in here. They have the katakana and its English spelling next to it so you can have a guess at what they mean. 50 points to who ever can guess them all
    And remember Japanese people don't have L so they use R as their L as well as their R. If that makes sense.

    And for anyone that knows katakana, I know my spelling is probably not all right. But I'm still a beginner and as every Japanese person I've met would say (about their English) "My Japanese is poor".

    Random words

    ペン - pen
    ハンサム - hansamu
    ビーッチ - biichi
    イスッコリム - iscorimu
    サンドイッチ - sandoichi

    Car related words

    パツ - patsu
    カスタム - casutamu
    ドりフト - dorifuto
    バトル - batoru

    All right except pants.

    Thats cool. I knew some people that learnt pretty decent basic chinese off the computer. But you need to know katakana to read half the words in Japanese and its only another 46 letters. Same with kanji but they say you need about 1800 or somthing to read a newspaper so who can be bothered (unless you have to )

    Touge = Mountain Pass (also said for mountain drifting)
    Suki = Love

    dont know the letters and crap so dont ask for those =P and I know they arent words that sound like english words, but I know only VERY limited japanese... If it's not said alot in an anime, I dont know it XD

    moto = more (Probably heard only in Hentai)

    oh... might as well...

    hentai = pervert

    (just in case you didnt know. Might not wanna google it. Just try to figure out what it means from the definition, if in case you werent already aware of it, which ALOT of people already are.)
