Hey, does anyone on here know japanese? i know poisonfist does .. but can anyone translate this into english for me, it's just 1 or 2 words:

o te mo to

i saw it on some chopsticks at a restaurant. i can read hiragana, but that's the extent of my japanese.. i know very little vocabulary.

 

o te mo to means "by your hands" meaning chopsticks. te is hand as in karate and moto is the "root of" or in this case "by". 'O' in the beginning makes it more of a polite way of saying the whole thing.

 

wow, within minutes, poisonfist comes to the rescue. Thanks

EDIT: see, i'm not post whorin anymore, just editing my old post to add something anyways, i meant "arigato gozaimas" haha.. 1 of like 30 japanese words i know

 

do itashima****e

 

if i went to japan, i dont think i can say anything that would help me in any way. when would i ever need to say "asokoni ookii inuga imasuyo"

 

LMAO! I almost fell off my chair!

 

i wonder if i'll ever get to use that sentence. i'll be in tokyo this summer for 2-3 hours during a layover flight going to singapore. i should learn some useful stuff to say in the airport since i probably won't get to wander outside in the streets.
