”oyasumi nasai,” not “sayonara,“ which simply means “goodbye.”

Also, the traditional wish of ill will that the Japanese bestow upon their enemies is not, contrary to your claim, “May the bluebird of happiness poop on your rooftop.“

Rather, it’s “Anata ga shinu made, anata wa tōfu no sakuhin no tsuno ni atama o utsu koto,” which translated into English means, “May you beat your head on the corner of a piece of tofu until you die.”

Just sayin,’ bro. Brush up on your lingo before you attempt to tango beyond your Nihongo limito.

Hai, so desu.

(I missed the context, but I know the Japanese!)

I did a job in Japan once, and at the end of the day the producer would say something like "ohs-kaley ashta madeshta!" which roughly translates to "good work today everyone".

I thought it sounded like "OK, see you later in Modesto".

So that's the only Japanese I (don't) know.
