That’s not weird people eat meals all the time. They can just enjoy their next one. No wasted joy

One time my parents pressured me to say something in Japanese to a chef at a hibachi restaurant and he replied “Oh, was that Japanese? I’m from New York.” I wanted to die.

Restore honor through ritual sudoku it is.
Do it in front of parents in the living room to establish dominance.

I live in New York City.
We have a lot Mexican restaurants run by Chinese people.
A few pizza parlors run by Mexicans.

Yeah them too. The fondue restaurants are not run by the Swiss, but the Italians.
CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I love fondues.

In the Bay Area we have lots of pizza places run by Indian people.
Some of them will offer Indian style toppings, like paneer, which is actually pretty good.
DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Slightly off topic.

tl, dr = Hollywood star had a refugee do her nails. Realized that there were a lot of similar ladies who needed a way to make money.
I’m guessing that there was someone who showed one Indian how to open a pizza place and they inspired/aided others.

Similar when I was in the UK at a Fish and Chip shop. Sikh man asking if I want Curry on my Chips, and then after paying and leaving he says “Ta Mate”
FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Seems normal to me.
BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Did you get curry on the chips?
BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Of course!

Don’t touch-y my moustache!
(I’d never actually heard that one untill a Japanese guy I met at a bar said it, and then explained it to me as a joke, after I attempted a tiny bit of actual Japanese with him).

Peak Human experience. That’s an unnamed brother for life.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
… Is there any kind of way to translate the, intent, of the phrase ‘brother from another mother’ into Japanese, without it being extremely literal, lol?
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Don’t touch-y my moustache
Also “Eat a duck I must,” which at least carries a similar thematic meaning of eating as the original phrase.
In your story are you sure you didn’t meet Rawhide Kobayashi?
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Oh my god, ‘Eat a duck I must’, I’m using mouthwash atm and that almost made me do a spit take, that’s amazing lol!
Unfortunately I cannot see the image, ita not loading/displaying right for me, and I’ve also not heard of Rawhide Kobayashi.

Don’t touch-y my moustache
Okay my Japanese is not good enough to get the joke. Please explain?
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
It is a… comical approximation of:
どういたしまして
Dō-i-ta-shi-ma-shi-te
Roughly:
Dough Ee Tah She Ma She Tay
… but all said rapidly, together.
It means “You’re welcome”, but is maybe slightly more formal than it is casual.
The joke is that it is maybe what a native English speaker would hear, when a native Japanese speaker says “You’re welcome” in Japanese.

Don’t forget sayonara. It feels like it could be a Spanish word too.
NannerBanner@literature.cafe 2 weeks ago
It was weird learning how many of the random words I had in my vocabulary were actual foreign words, not even loan words but just had been used by neighbors who had likely had immigrant parents or were immigrants themselves. Ciao, sayonara, adios, ohayo (which I seriously thought was just, “Oh! Hi! Oh!” as if it was an exaggerated ahoy)…

And then if you speak Japanese in a Japanese restaurant, they ignore the fuck out of you.
jeffep@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Can’t really say it so clearly. Are you a Chinese exchange student who has been studying Japanese for a year and somewhat gets by? You’re fine. Are you a literal native speaker but your father is black and you’re a ハーフ?

When I meet some shoopkeepeers who look Chinese, I have the urge to say something that sounds kinda like “knee how” but I don’t because I don’t know what that means. Freaking Babel curse, man.

GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
might have something to do with a white person using the terror and subjugation of brown people as a punchline and not so much with the just being white.
white people have the worst persecution fetish.
Chippys_mittens@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Who?
solidheron@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
i assumed at the time it was desperation, like im pointing out that innocent babies are being killed by Israel and zionist were calling me every name they knew and took them several minutes of name calling to get to white savior.
