A bit rude but...

Postby scanti » May 29th, 2007 10:41 pm

Once I was look at an anime called "School Rumble". In this anime Harima, one of the main characters, told to a girl "you're a good deliverer" (=you have a beautiful bottom :oops: ), in the notes the subber explained that it's a compliment that usually old people say to the girls.
However I can't remember the sentence in Japanese, could anyone help me please?

I like School Rumble, too! I bought the first volume.

But I am sorry, I don't know your answer since I never watch the anime, just mentioning there is another fan here. :o

I've used that line before. It might work in Japan, but in the U.S. it gets you a slap in the face. :roll:

I hope that someone knows the line in Japanese, I'd love to tuck that one away in my arsenal for a special occasion. :P

I'm not surprised you got your face slapped.

The kanji suggest "easy childbirth type" . ie. wide-hipped. Maybe by extension big bottomed.

Maybe not a great compliment.

This i s really a compliment :shock: ! Temma the girl who receives it, thanks Harima for having said that . However, the subber commented that it's used only by old people.

I think is a compliment from old people to younger womens, that's mean the women who receives it can have baby (give birth) easily, because of the big bottom (not fat), and it's true in physiological point view too.

:lol: Sounds similar to being told in the US that you have "Child Bearing Hips"...
Kind of a backhanded compliment!

Guess it depends on who likes a big butt, and if you accept it as a compliment.


Ok, this may also sound rude, but why do people apologize for their bad English? I know my Japanese is bad, and I make mistakes, buy why apologize? Besides I hear bad English all the time at work and these people are native English speakers.

We're all learning something here. No need to apologize for your mistakes. If you want someone to tell you want you've done wrong, just ask. Besides I make plenty of bad English mistakes myself!!!!
