Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! In today’s conversation we have two yakuza members who are talking about Hello Kitty (bet you didn’t see that one coming). We’re continuing our look at masculine forms of Japanese, particularly those found in anime and manga. Of course, you’ll hear this on the streets too. Our grammar point is making strong prohibitions using the plain form of verbs plus n ja nai and it’s substandard form n ja nē. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
