I have a roommate who is very interested in Japanese, and knows many phrases. I too am interested in foreign languages. I speak 3 languages fluently, so I believe I am a pretty adept in learning languages
My roommate uses the word "nani" for what, whenever we would say what in english to have a person clarify what they just said, or if asking why a person is calling her. however, I don't know if that word is the one you would use just because it means what in japanese as it is not true for all languages. I wonder if use the word "nani" is appropriate in these cases?
another thing I wanted to know. I read online that the word "baka" can be extremely rude is used frequently, even though it can be used with friends, as it can mean anything from "silly" to "idiot" in context . She uses it at least once a day, but it's always in a lighthearted way, in the way you'd call a friend silly, but I wonder if that is appropriate to use it so frequently.
thanks.
