Planning to go for a student exchange program to japan. and I'll be taking up a japanese course in a few months.. but first i'd like to know some informal japanese phrases..basicaly what japanese teens usually say and stuff like that =)

Answer 1

Hai - Yes
I ie - No
Wa ka ri ma su - Understood.
Moshi moshi - Hello (on phone)
Say yeah na - Shut up
Arigatou (Gozaimasu). - Thank you (very much).
Sumimasen - Sorry
Nan ni - What
Do shi de - What
Dai jyo bu - Are you okay?/What's wrong?
Jya nei - Bye
Masaka - Could it be?!
Hontou ni? - Really?
Kiso - Sh*t/damn
Jyodan - Joking/Joke
Dai suki - Very like/love
Suki jya na i - Not like/hate
Itadakimasu - Let's begin (to eat) Note: Japanese people always say this before beginning a meal.
Oi Oi - Hey Hey
Boku - My (say this if you are a boy)
Watashi - My (say this if you are girl)

Notes:

1.add "kun" to the end of the name of some boy you know very well, and add "chan" likewise to the end of a girl's name. Add "san" to the end of the name of someone you don't really know is an adult.

2. When you add "ka" to the end of a Japanese sentence it immediately becomes a question.

Answer 3

Depends on where you go, the region I stayed in for the most part spoke a dialect called Tosanben. Some general ones though...

Cho_____ = Very, like Cho Kakoi Desu would be very handsome.
Maji de!? = For realz!?
Hontou ni!? = For realz!?
Ja Ne/Matta Ne/Ja, Matta Ne = Later, see ya later
Os = sort of like "yo"
Maketa! = damn! like if you spill something or knock something over
Mukatsuku! = F*ck
Chikushou = Damn

These aren't things I was really taught though. Some of them I just kind of picked up or was loosely explained the meaning of. The spelling is probably off as well as the meaning and perhaps they're just wrong. You'll also want to be careful of who you use these around since most of them are highly informal and thus inappropriate around adults and superiors.

Cool I just found this...
