    Great thread. I'd just like to point out that sumimasen doesn't necessarily mean excuse me, however. A lot of Japanese words mean different things in different context, and sumimasen is one of those words. It's basically a word you use when you believe you have bothered someone. When you say 'excuse me' to someone, you're interrupting what they are currently doing, so that is why sumimasen is used. Sumimasen can also be used to apologise when you have inconvenienced someone or have asked them to go out of their way for something. Unlike gommen or gomennsai, sumimasen also expresses a feeling of gratitude. If you ask someone for a favour and they do it for you, you can reply with sumimasen and it would mean both sorry for bothering you and thank you. Sumimasen is also a more mature word than gomennasai, which you would use to your superiors or perhaps people you don't know when apologising. In short, it can mean excuse me, thank you or sorry depending on the context.

    Here are a few other words and phrases I have picked up that might help

    I don't know - Shirimasen
    What - Nani
    Where - Doko
    Who - Dare (prenounced da-reh)
    Which - Dore (prenounced do-reh)
    When - Itsu
    Everyone - Minna
    Please - Onegai
    Welcome back - Okaeri
    Dad - Tou-san
    Mum - Ka-san
    Wait - Matte
    Help - Tasukete
    What are you doing? - Nani o ****e imasuka?
    Nothing - Betsuni
    Really - Hontou

    One - Ichi
    Two - Ni
    Three - San
    Four - Yon
    Five - Go
    Six - Roku
    Seven - Nana
    Eight - Hachi
    Nine - Kyuu
    Ten - Juu
    Eleven - Juu ichi
    Twelve - Juu ni
    Thirteen - Juu san
    Fourteen - Juu yon
    Fifteen - Juu go
    Sixteen - Juu roku
    Seventeen - Juu nana
    Eighteen - juu hachi
    Nineteen - juu kyuu
    Twenty - Ni juu

    Wow awesome thread! Thanks . I'm amazed at how much I already knew or at least recognised (in both the OP and Neversoft's post). I also already knew how to count to twenty in Japanese!

    Edit @Neversoft: I was taught She as four and Sich as seven as well as Juu-- for fourteen and seventeen respectively (I'm just making up the spellings there based on pronunciation).

    Four can be said as either si or yon, and seven can be said as either nana or sichi. Though I am unsure of the context you use each in, so I just went with what I've heard the most. I have noticed that si seems to be used for four a lot however, but when saying fourteen, twenty four, thirty four, etc yon is used.

    I have no idea how to say most of these words. I have got a friend who speaks chinese though, that's a cool language as well

    No point in saying thanks as this stickied thread is 1 year old
