WordList Letter - Z

Zakkenayo - Exclamatory phrase that means "don't mess with me!" "Stop messing around!" or "Stop fooling around" and its a bit harsh. It comes from the phrase "Fuzakeru Nai Yo". As you can see, it is just a shortened version of "Fuzakeru". I have seen this term translated as "Don't F**K with me!" but I think that would depend more on the tone and the circumstances, because "Fuzakeru" is actually better translated as "fool around" or "joke around".

Zama Miro - Informal phrase meaning "serves you right!" or "you had it coming!" and can imply a "in your face!" type of comeback, "Zama" is from "bu-zama" meaning sort of bad-appearance and "Miro" means look. Literally then this is "Just take a lot at yourself (your bad appearance)"

Zannen Nagara - Colloquial phrase used to express regret, such as sympathy when something bad has happened. It can also be used playfully such as "Nyah! Nyah! Too bad for you!" or "zannen nagara, pi-man o zenbu tabenasai." > "It's a cryin shame, but eat all your veggies!"

Zen In - Common phrase that means,"everyone" or "all the people mentioned". I have included this word because I could not find it anywhere spelled the way it sounded..... this is common as you probably know.

Zurakaru - Exclamatory phrase meaning "let's scram!" or "let's get the hell outta here!"

Zurui - Expression used when someone thinks someone is playing dirty or unfair. The normal phrase is "Zurui shita !" which means, "You cheated !" or "You played dirty !" and "zurui yo ne!" which means, "Isn't he a sly/cunning!".

WordList Letter - Y

Yappari! - Just as I thought! I knew it! Often used as an exclamation to oneself or to others when the speaker's suspicions prove to be correct, It can also mean "after all", "anyway","as expected","none the less","still".

Yatta! - All right! Expression of victory. Used when a certain action or plan has succeeded although there was at the start some doubt that it would. Its also the name of a very bizarrly upbeat song by a band composed of a group of shameless Japanese men wearing nothing but disturbing fig leaf briefs.

Yokatta - I'm glad, Phew, "Was Good!". Expression of relief. Mostly used when the speaker was worried about someone or something and everything turns out to be OK. Its also the name of one of my sites! Yokatta! Anime/Japanese Wallpapers!

Yoroshiku - Hi / Nice to meet you. Informal greeting when people meet for the first time. A more formal variant is Hajimemashite. It can also be used when you ask someone to do something for you, for instance, you would finish your conversation with yoroshiku as "I'll depend on you with this matter" or "I hope you will take good care of this". As well as a showing your appreciation, saying it as meaning of "thank you in advance", the intention in all is to show your politeness and intention that you have a will to get along with you in the future.

Youma (Yōma) - A (malevolent) ghost. Often showing in horror or to give a creepy character, another word for monster.

WordList Letter - W

Watashi - Neutral, can be used by both men and women,also means "private" or "personal".

WordList Letter - P

Umi - It means Sea. "Hoshi no umi" translates as "Sea of stars".

Un - Yes, yeah, uhuh. Used in informal speech. Its very common, normally you get a small head nod, with your Un, so cute >_<

Ureshii - Happy, glad. It is often used on its own as an exclamation to indicate that the speaker is happy, a female speaker also would say, "Ureshii wa.".

Urusai - Noisy, loud.. Used on its own (often yelled) the speaker indicates that there is too much noise and demands implicitly silence. So the English translation of Urusai would be: "Silence!", In the imperative form, it means "Be quiet!".

Usagi - It means rabbit.

Uso - Impossible!, It can't be!, You must be lying!, Literally: a lie! This expression is used very frequently when the speaker cannot believe his or her eyes or ears, the situations where a "You must be kidding!" would be used in English. However, it can also mean what it literally is: a lie so "Uso da" translates as That is a lie. So the correct translation depends on the context. “Uso Da!” is a buzz word derived from the popular murder mystery series, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, (shortened to “When They Cry” in the English version),  the phrase can be translated as, “That’s a lie!" or “Lies!” in English.

Usotsuki - Liar, its also the tenth single by Japanese recording artist Aya Ueto.

WordList Letter - T

Tasukete! - Help!, Save me!, Spare my/his life. You can add the sufix "kudasai" to indicate a polite request tasukete-kudasai.  (also common is Tasukete! Tomaranai! - Help i cant stop!)

Teichyou - Captain, commander, every mecha anime has one ^_^'

Teki - If it's used as a noun, enemy, opponent or rival.

Tomodachi - It meanx friend(s).

Tsuki - Moon, month, luck, ... "Tsuki" has several 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]: "Tsukino Usagi" although it is a name literally means Rabbit of the Moon.

WordList Letter - R

Rounin - Ronin. A samurai without a master a bushi with no lord or master during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless from the death or fall of his master, or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege.. At present day it is also used for a student who flunk his entrance exam and is waiting for another chance to get into a university.

Ryoukai - OK, understood / Acceptance. Reply to a message or order to indicate that it is understood. English equivalent is "Roger!".
