I'm no expert on this, but I think nihongo is Japanese and Nippon is Japan. Lie is uso and liar is usotsuki or somethign like that. Wind is kaze. Promise is yakusoku and it's a promise is yakusoku-da.

The pattern seems to be jin basically acts as people when appended to the end of something. Never formally checked myself, but I've heard plenty examples, like saiya-jin, gai-jin, nihon-jin, america-jin, and so on.
>>
>>134743090
人 on its own means "hito" or "person" and when added to a word it becomes "jin"

I'm realizing that I've probably heard a bunch of these shounen phrases a million times, but I only absorb the stuff said by cute anime girls.

Amazing what you can retain just from some months of watching cartoons.
I could probably learn wapanese, but their fucking runewriting sistem it's too much of a hassle for a lazy person like me.

You are very welcome. I'm glad you found the thread. As you will see, the lessons are usually split up into ~30 minute sessions. I recommend doing 2 a day if you can, and make flash cards for all the material you learn. This makes it easier to review and check yourself as time goes on.
