Mata ne! - See you. Literally: "Again, ok?"/"Until later then?".
Megami - A Goddess (any goddess). If one refers to or addresses a goddess the honorific "-sama" is attached to it. as opposed to Kami (god!), comes from the notion of spirits and deities from the shinto faith.
Minna/Minna-san - Everyone, everybody. Used to refer to or to address a group of people, but is sometimes also said "Minna-san" which is a more formal, respective term.
Mizu - Water. [Sailor Moon]: "Mizuno Ami" although it is a name literally means Ami of water.
Mononoke - Ghost, spirit, monster.
Mo - Already, soon, also. Mo can have a lot of meanings depending on the context. Used on its own, at the beginning or more rarely at the end of a sentence, it is an expression of frustration. Mostly used by women. It is difficult to translate directly. English equivalent could be: "That's enough!" or "I have had enough of this!"
Daijoubu (da) - All right, Ok, I'm okay or It's okay.. Can be used both as a question and an answer. "Daijoubo? Hai, Daijoubu." Are you Ok? Yes, I'm Ok.
Dame - No good, useless, impermissable, unacceptable. A common expression to indicate that something is either useless or impermissable is "Dame da","Dame yo," "Dame da" or
"Dame!" can be used in informal situations.
Dare - Who. "Dare da?" translates as: "Who is there?", DareDare means so and so or such and such.
Doko? - Where? When hiragana "e" is used as a particle, it is written in hiragana as "he." so Doko e=Where to?
Domo Arigatou Gozaimusu - Thank you very much. Used in formal speech (If you want to express a greater-than-normal degree of gratitude). In informal speech abbriviated to "Domo Arigatou" or simply "Domo". this being the easiest phrase of gratitude, "Domo" is an adverb that literally means indeed or very much but can be understood as thank you. It's a short, convenient, and yet polite phrase of gratitude that can be used in any context.
Kami - A God. However, if one refers to or addresses "God", the honorific "-sama" is attached to it. Hence Kami-sama. Kami is the Japanese word for the spirits, natural forces, or essence in the Shinto faith.
Kanchyou - Captain. Used to address the commander of a warship. See also Teichyou.
Kawaii - Cute. Don't mix it up with Kowai. Literally means "lovable", "cute", or "adorable", it has become a prominent aspect of Japanese popular culture. The noun is Kawaisa, literally, "lovability", "cuteness" or "adorableness". The words "kawaii" have the root word "kawai" which is formed from the kanji "ka", meaning "acceptable", and "ai", meaning "love". The term kawaii can take some meanings, like "cool","groovy","acceptable","desirable","charming" and "non-threatening".
Kaze - Wind.
Ki - Tree, yellow, table, mood, raw, chest, ... "Ki" has many uses depending on its kanji writing. If you only have the kana writing you'll have to look at the context to determine the correct translation. [Sailor Moon]: "Kino Makoto" although it is a name literally means Makoto of the tree.
Kimagure - It means "whimsical", "capricious", or "fickle" (although these are all in adjective form. "kimagure" itself is noun.
Koko - Here, this place. Used to refer to a place which is closer to the speaker than to the listener.
Konban wa - Good evening. Standard greeting in the evening. Keep in mind that the actual spelling is "konban ha".
Konnichi wa - Hello, Good day. Standard greeting. Keep in mind that the actual spelling is "konnichi ha".
Kousoku - Lightspeed. [Gall Force]: "Kousoku drive": lightspeed drive.
Kowai - Scary, frightful. Can also be used on its own to indicate that one is affraid. [Sailor Stars]: When little Hotaru is menaced by the malevolent reflection of Neherenia she says "Kowai". She used it to indicate she was affraid although she didn't say it to anyone in particular. Don't mix it up with Kawaii.
Kun - A diminutive suffix attached to a male person's name. Used only in informal speech e.g. among close friends or family. [Kimagure Orange Road]: Madoka addresses Kyousuke as Kasuga-kun. The fact that she uses his family name in combination with kun is an indication that although they are close she keeps a certain distance by using his family name. [Shin Seiki Evangelion]: Rei refers to Shinji as Ikari-kun for the same reasons. Colleagues at work may also use the combination

As we go through more japanese kinkiness, we might come across some meganekko, so what is meganekko? ohhh first of all it means megane (glasses) + ko (girl), or girl wearing glasses, you know all those american shows really silly like cinderela, where the girl is of course gorgeous but they put a pair of glasses and large sweater and now she is ugly, well with japanese its the oposite, girl is plain... but when she puts her glasses she becomes a goddess!!!
So yeah kinda putting it in a roleplaying game, its her power point, her best characteristic, and therefore her most attractive trait, also it kinda falls a lot on the "authoritive" girls, like the class rep, or the nerdy girl that although
nerdy is charismatic! hehehe
(ohh and the male version is called megane, but who cares about that! hehehehe)
So there ya go, a quick brief on Meganekko, and here are some samples underneath! see if it makes your juices flow hehehe ENJOY!
