This has probably been done many times before, but never mind. I want to know a couple of words in kanji form, we have been learning kanji in my lessons but I want to learn more.

Please could someone translate the following:
saru(monkey)
sakana(fish)
furansu(france)
doitsu(germany)
inu(dog)
neko(cat)
tanaka(surname)
takashi(surname)
takeshi(surname)
Cant think of any more at the mo...

The other thing I was wondering was if there are kanji for any slang words, here is a list:
kisama(you-speeker hates)
shine(die)
ore(I)
onare(you)
baka(stupid, should not really be in this section)
kuso(****)
shimatta(damn it)
chikushou(Damn)

Cant think of any others, but feel free to add to that list. Slang and rude words :) are always good to know, especially for miike films!
 
猿(saru) - Monkey
魚(sakana) - Fish
フランス or 仏蘭西(furansu) - France
ドイツ or 独逸(doitsu) - Germany
犬(inu) - Dog
猫(neko) - Cat
田中(tanaka)

No idea which ones are the most common ones for the 2 below...
takashi(surname)
takeshi(surname)

貴様(kisama) - You! Why, you...! (in a hateful manner) or Bastard!
死ね(shine) - Die!
俺(ore) - Me; I
己(onore) - You. Oneself.
馬鹿(baka) - idiot; fool; stupid (literally means horse deer...)
糞(kuso) Sh**! Crap! (literally means feces, poop, whatever...)
しまった(shimatta) Shoot! Crap! Dammit! ...etc. No kanji for this.
畜生(chikushou) Damn you...! or Imbecile, etc.

Those aren't really slang... I don't think.
 
Cool man thanks... I probaly think of some more I want to know, thanks!
 
I wouldn't worry about the insult words
like baka usually it will be written in katakana to stress it's slang usage. From most manga I have read that has been the case.
Baka バカ
Kisama きさま キサマ
 
If you have the Japanese IME installed on your computer, it's sometimes useful for finding kanji versions of words. I tried typing tanaka, and it even does that correctly (田中). Won't be too helpful for words which have multiple meanings, but at least for simple words like 猫 (ねこ) or 犬 (いぬ), it should be pretty accurate.
 
Yeah I have that installed and I know all the kana, but I dont really trust it for finding out kanji because of what you said. Oh yeah does anyone know of a linke to a list of the 200 kanji you have to learn for GCSE, I have got a book but I not sure it does it in the correct order and its almost imposible to look up words!
 
Takashi and Takeshi aren't surnames.

Do yourself a favor and leave the anime/manga bada55 vocabulary for later.

:geek:
Was that directed towards me? I am not suggesting they learn those types of words. I don't think it has any usage just learning for the first time, so that's why I suggested they not even worry about learning the kanji. 😅
