AboutDreams Expertise I have been teaching myself the language for the past seven years, having consistent practice with Japanese materials. I can help translate things from English to Japanese or vice versa. I can also help you get started if you're planning on taking up the language. =) I'm most familiar with things like anime, manga, J-pop, games and so on.
Experience I began learning the language in 1999. I frequently talk with penpals and natives in Japan, as well as continually keep up practicing with authentic Japanese materials.
Question Can you please provide a phonetic translation into English for the words:
Chicken
Control
Spoiled
Leader
Naughty
Answer Hello,
I am not sure which definition you are looking for with some of these words, so I will give you multiple meanings.
Chicken (the bird): niwatori (nee-wah-toh-ree)
On the other hand, if a kid was calling another kid "chicken", they would probably shout "bikubiku (bee-koo bee-koo)!"
As a general term, the verb for "control" is "shihai suru" (shee-high soo-roo). If you are looking for the noun, a popularly-used word is "contorooru". This is a phonetic adaptation of the word "control", and comes out sounding very much like it.
"Spoiled", as in "spoiled brat", would be "amayaka-sareta" (ah-mah-yah-kah sah-ray-tah). If you are looking to say something has rotted/spoiled, you can say "kusatta" (koo-sah-tah). (The double T makes a slight pause before the 'tah', and the T sound should be harder than normal.)
For "leader", you can use "shidousha" (shee-doh-sha).
A good word for "naughty" is "itazura na" (ee-tah-zoo-rah nah).
