haha! OK, I've gotten some help from Doinkies (props to doinkies :p) and I didn't want to bug her a lot, so I'd though I'd bug the rest for you :D haha, Just kidding... Is this sentence correct? You don't really have to explain the grammar issues if it's not, just correct it!

-Thanks

EN: You smell like milk, and rotten eggs, and milk, and Leah's Grease, and milk, and stanky stank, and milk. (grease as in grease that the face produces; stanky stank, which i guess can be closly translated to "smelly smell")

JP: ミルクと腐った卵とミルクとりーアのグリースとミルクと臭い匂いとミルクの匂いがする。

JP (romaji): miruku to kusatta tamago to miruku to riia no guriisu to miruku to kusai nioi to miruku no nioi ga suru.

haha I know a weird sentence, right? lol Umm, I say that a lot, so why not learn how to say it in Japanese? lol

I'm not sure if after every item you would put 「の匂い」 "no nioi"... I'm not sure! And I was also wondering if I should put 「あなたは」 "anata wa" in the beginning, because wouldn't it sound like "I smell like..."? I don't know... If there are any flaws, please correct it :) Thanks~~

p.s. Thanks doinkies for telling me how to say 「ミルクの匂いがする」 "miruku no nioi ga suru" :)

This reminds me of all the videos I see of Americans in Japan making asses of themselves or vandalizing property...and embarrassing the rest of us.

Shut up. If you don't have anything nice to nice, why say it at all? I'm 13, what do you expect? If you're not going to help me, please don't reply! This pisses me off a lot! :eek:
 
Tomii, for what purpose are you asking if your sentence is correct?
You say you don't want grammatical explanation, then your request is not to learn Japanese.
And the meaning of the sentence you're asking about does not sound nice.
If you say this to Japanese friends, I don't think they'd be pleased.
If you don't get answer to your question, it is because people do not want to help you to say something that may offend others....

One obvious mistake is the use of グリース for skin greasiness. This kind refers to oil lubricant used in cars or machinery. 脂っぽい肌 or べたつきやすい肌, べとべとした肌 ? or maybe others, are what you need to say for 調子がよくない肌。:-)

And, oh yeah, to avoid any misunderstanding I wouldn't recommend even talking to other Japanese 13 year olds this way. 😅 They generally don't smell as horrible as Americans anyway....:p

There are some things that are better left not said. Even in a playful tone, this would not go over well in Japanese.
 
Whether you're intending this to ever say to a native speaker or it's only for practice, grammatically they won't get the repetition of milk, and why it smell so bad, or for sure what on earth is Leah's Grease. ☝
 
Well, for this particular sentence, I didn't want to learn the Japanese. It's just something I wanted to learn how to say. My friends and I are very odd, and we say that (in English) a lot, and I say it in Bulgarian to my friend from Bulgaria in my class. :p I just wanted to know how to say it in Japanese, and I didn't intend of saying to any Japanese people, but just to my friends.

OK, I'll tell you the origin of this sentence. My friends were sitting at our lunch table at lunch in school, and my friend Alexes accidentally spilled some milk on my friend Roxanne, and she randomly blurted out, "You shmell like milk!", like with a "hick" voice kind of (the "sh" instead of the "s" sound :p). And yeah, we added on to the beautiful list of things that we should smell like (for somewhat "funny" purposes.). And yeah...

It's not to offend others, it something that my friends and I say as a joke.

Ohhh :p I wasn't planning on saying this to Japanese people, but my American friends :p OK, but I don't understand... which word would I use for "grease"? 調子がよくない肌 <--- what does that mean? Well, if you can, just type out the sentence in Japanese & romaji if you can
:D

:p:p:p haha There is this girl Leah in my school, and she's a very very VERY mean person. She's one of those 2-faced peopel, you know? Well, anyways, she is very greasy, and since she makes fun of me and my friends, we make fun of her. I'm generally not a mean person, but it's not nice to make fun of people, but I've had problems with her since like 3rd grade. So... yeah.😊
 
I remember when I was young, my friends and I would come up with crazy songs or rhymes that we would only say to each other. I think Tomii understands comfort levels as I'm sure he doesn't use this with authorities or other peers he might not have a close relationship with. This said, I'm sure he wouldn't go blurting it around to just any Japanese person.

I understand how this would not make sense whatsoever in Japanese, but maybe instead of telling him he can't ever say it in Japanese maybe you can show him some of the fun "nasty" rhymes or songs you made up as a child.

P.S. My big one was: Ardenvistroodelvenheimendischnitzelpusscrockendischeitmeier. It was supposed to sound like German, and it was fun to say. My friends and I all said it to each other kind of like a secret word. If you'd like the exact pronunciation to practice it, just post lol.

It's in his darn signature so every Japanese user of this forum is being shown it. 😅

I don't understand either, even now, WHAT kind of grease are you talking about ??? :p The ones I gave were for facial or skin oil. How about if you tell your friends something they will get in either language ? オイリースキン :D

「グリース」っていったいなんだかわかりませんよ。
 
=0= Umm, the grease that your face produces when you have a lot of pimples? Like, when you see people with really shinny faces... =0=👍
