There we go! He's talking about old men that bump into people. HahaWhat is the entire context? If this is an expletive in a manga or something it's probably a colloquial version of てまえ which is could be translated to something like "you bastard." The っ at the end indicates a glottal stop which adds emphasis and a confrontational tone. I would pronounce it the same way you pronounce similar words using this small っ. In romaji it would be something like TTEME!
Holy buckets… I have so much to learn, haha.In this exampleって is short for ということ（は）.
めっ is part of めっちゃ, which is a colloquial way to say "very".
めっちゃめっちゃ is still a way to say messed up, right?In this exampleって is short for ということ（は）.
めっ is part of めっちゃ, which is a colloquial way to say "very".
めっちゃ is slang and めっちゃめっちゃ is a less-common variant. I think more common in Kansai.
I believe it's true it can mean messed up but it's contextual.
Probably not something you should say just because you're not a Japanese school kid and it would sound weird.
Same as if you used high school kids slang in your own country. My kid has been saying "what the smegma!" a lot recently.
I don't use it.
Perhaps you're thinking of めちゃくちゃ?I believe it's true it can mean messed up but it's contextual.
You're my hero.You can often leave off parts of a phrase unvoiced. So めちゃめちゃ alone could mean the following.

And here's the best example. Use this next time you're about to leave a conversation with your Japanese friend or colleague.

Sure you can make up nonsense words. Or make up your own vocabulary for a book or game or something. The most common way this happens in real life is when people do this for names. As I understand it, you can put together kanji however you like and even assign non-standard pronunciations to them.Hey there everybody. I was wondering if you could put any kanji together that you want and make a word? HAHA, I know it sounds dumb, but I was wondering about this today as I see signs that I think are read a certain way because of vocabulary, but SURPRISE, it's spelled and said completely differently... aiyaaaaaaaaa. What do you guys think? Are they just using typical words, or can you make any combination you want and make a word? Thanks guys! <3
Thank you so much! You rock!Sure you can make up nonsense words. Or make up your own vocabulary for a book or game or something. The most common way this happens in real life is when people do this for names. As I understand it, you can put together kanji however you like and even assign non-standard pronunciations to them.
But when you encounter this on signs or what not it's usually due to historical reasons not because somebody is going out of their way to mess with peoples minds.
The tense system in Japanese is different from the one in English. Here's an example. Hope it helps.Do you conjugate both verbs in a single Japanese sentence? If the sentence has multiple verbs in it what do you do? Thanks!
