Does "baka" mean stupid?

How to say the basic greeting stuff...like hi hello etc etc..

Is it masa mesho or kunichiwa ?

 

[thereisnospoon]

Ok i'm a newbie to the language but here's what I understand.

Moshi moshi (もしもし。）is a greeting that is only used on the telephone.

For greeting people in the street.

Morning time: Ohayou gozaimasu or (おはよう ございます）

Afternoon or after 10:00am Konichiwa or (こんにちは）

Evenings konban wa or (こんばんは）

Hope this helps and I hope I have spelt it all correctly

oo thxs man

 

[Seppuku]

Baka means stupid person but used like a "dis" (like if a friend did something stupid you'd call him a baka) but can also be used as like dumbass, idiot etc.

 

[Elizabeth]

Baka is oftentimes used as a way of putting oneself down as well or acknowledging having done something foolish (Watashi mo onaji gurai baka dakedo = You're no stupider than I) and it can be closer to silly than truly idiotic (Tashikani bakana koto da kedo、omoikiri tanoshimereba ii darou! = Although it's certainly a stupid thing, still you must let go and enjoy yourself!)という風にですね。

[SkaKid0911]

Hmm, I'm confused now. I only know a real little japanese but i thought baka was like dumb and bakayaro was like idiot. could someone clear this up for me?

 

[Arashi]

Bakayaro... heh, a little stronger than idiot. Ruder too.

Just don't call them aho.

 

[SkaKid0911]

Thank you, but now that you said it I must know what aho is lol.

 

[M10]

[SkaKid0911]
