The thai for “5″ is pronounced roughly “Ha”, and so where english internets would generally put “lol” or something, they put “555555555″.
I was looking for this post for so long
Finally it has returned
Japanese has a verb tense exclusively for complaining
@mikkeneko u can’t just say something like that and then leave us hanging
Okay, so Japanese has a verb construction using a linking conjugation and the helper verb shimau, which translates to something like “to happen unfortunately.”
The curse word shimatta! comes from the same verb, to give you an idea.
So you can take any verb and add -te shimau on it to change its meaning from “this happened” to “this happened and it sucked.” Ame ga furu means “it’s raining,” but ame ga futteshimau means “it’s raining and I hate it.”
I mean, I guess you could use it for other purposes, like apologizing or something? But in practice, it’s pretty much always used for complaining.
