Book Reviews of Zakennayo!: The Real Japanese You Were Never Taught in School
Book Review: Fuzakenaide kure yo
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't own this book so I can't really comment on it but I'd like to comment on one of the reviews below. "Zakennayo" is very much a real phrase known to anyone who has studied basic Japanese. It's a contraction of the phrase "Fuzakeru na yo" which means something along the lines of "Don't mess with me". If you are Japanese you most certainly have heard it by the age of 5.
Summary of Zakennayo!: The Real Japanese You Were Never Taught in School
The Japanese are known for their polite discourse and deferential demeanor, but there's another side to the language of the land of the rising sun--and every one of its biting curses, scathing slanders, and frustration-venting expressions is captured here in this priceless repertoire of "colorful" Japanese expressions. 16 line drawings.Love, Sex & Marriage Books
