I've used quite a few Japanese words and phrases in this story! I hope to use a couple more in future!
Arara (あらら)
It's a phrase. It means oh boy/ oh my.
Atsui (暑い)
It means hot. For either an object or for feeling hot.
Gomen (ne) (ごめんね)
A short form of gomen nassai (ごめんなさい). It means "I'm sorry".
Okaeri (おかえり)
"Welcome home".
Ka-san (お母さん)
Short for Okasan. It means "Mother/Mum/Mummy whichever you use on a daily basis.
Kuso (クソ)
A swear word. It means "Damn it!".
Tadaima (ただいまー)
"I'm home".
To-san (お父さん)
Short for Otosan. It means "Father/Dad/ Daddy whichever you use on a daily basis.
Honourifics and Misc
____-chan
You'd usually use this one for a female or a child.
____-chin
It's the same as -chan however it sounds cuter. Usually used as an endearment.
____-kun
You'd usually use this one for a male.
____-Oniichan
It means big brother.
____-san
This is usually used for people who are older than you. People that you respect.
____-sama
You would use this for people who have a higher authority over you in terms of power or people who you have high respect for.
____-sensei
Pretty explanatory. You'd use this on a teacher.
These are pretty simple but I hope to incorporate a little bit more of the language in Volume II!
