best word IMO...
"dai-jobu" sort of means "its ok, all-good, no problem"
also
"sumi masen" - which means sorry / excuse me, as Japanese people are very polite this is a good one to know..
for example someone bumps into you and says" sumi masen" to which you smile and reply "dai-jobu"
another word I found elicited a great response was if, say you were to open a door for someone - you would say "dozo" which is sort of like saying "please, I insist" and used whenver offering something.
Politeness, in my experience will get you far in Japan

2. Itaime-ni?! - Want to feel some real pain?!
