minus-squareFUCKRedditMods@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoBased on anime I know that if you don’t want to sound like a cringey weeb, the two best ways to greet people are “kisama” and/or “teme”
minus-squareContramuffin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoAh yes. In addition, it’s only polite to refer to yourself as “ore,” and a true gentleman will also refer to everyone with the -chan suffix.
minus-squareGabu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoAlso, adding “o-” before a word makes it more respectful, e.g. “oisogashī”, “ohada”, “omae”.
minus-squarelittlecolt@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoDon’t forget “an’ta” - be sure to omit the a in the middle. It’s how all the cool and non cringe kids talk.

Actually “ore-sama”
