Subject:        [FFML] Quick info needed

Here are a bunch of miscellaneous questions I have been saving up for a while,

I intend to use the data I gather for future fanfics, lets begin...

I don't know -HOW- that got reposted, but I have PLENTY of info on Chi now.
And I was thinking of something, Who needs to be a 'Hardened Black Belt',
hmm...more ideas, I have hereby decided that there will be no crossover stuff
so no people from our universe (This would make this my first non-self fic
that had an extra character in it).

HOWEVER. I need some translations for the fic.

1 Woman, or A woman.     I know this is something like 'oom nako' but i want
to spell it right.
2. A man.
3. Bad ass punch              (Ooh Can I see a special attack brewing here?)

1.  Onna = Woman
      Onna no hito = Female person (formal)
      Onna no ko  = female child (girl)
      shoojoo [be sure to stress the "o's"! (when speaking)] = girl

2.  Otoko = man
      Otoko no hito = male person
      otoko no ko = male child (boy)
      shonen = young boy

3.

Warui = bad
ketsu = ass, as in "jackass"
ken = punch or strike

I'm not sure of the Japanese slang, so I can't give you a real Japanese
equivilent for "Bad ass".  I hope you can use the litteral translations.

Great! His character will be using the "Fist of the Evil Donkey!"

P-word.

Y'know, you have a real attitude problem, Mr. P-word.  

"Ass" as the cuss-word!  The crude term!  The insult!  In anime it 
sometimes dubbed a "jackass" because it has to 2 syllables; where the 
literal tranlation, "ass", has one.

So there. :P

So watch your tongue, or I'll hit you with my Warui Ketsu Ken!  (I wonder 
how it would meassure up the Kun-chan's *bap*s...)
