Friends from Japan

Are you sure? I knew "anta" is impolite.. but "anata" is polite.. It seems also logical, if I wanna shout to someone, then anta fits better. But aren't Japanese using names instead of "you",
My dictionary says that "erai" means also "great; celebrated; eminent; terrible; awful; famous; remarkable; excellent" All these! So better I don't believe what you saying. Maybe it means actually that you are awful?

Yore dictionary is correct. "anta" is impolite and "anata" is polite,but we sometimes say "anta ha erai!" to our friends when they mede a good job.
It's hard to explain the reason. Maybe "anta" is more emotional than "anata".
And if you want to use "anta ha" , you should use it only with "erai". "anta ha" with other words are impolite even if between friends.

You know there's a link that show you how to say different types of phrases in different languages. And it also has a little section for insult of each language. Let me see what it has for insults in Japanese,
1. omae ha hidoi yatsuda
2. omae ha sukuiyou ga nai
3. niou n dayo
4. omae no kaachan

Metaltoy, if you understand it, don't take it the wrong way since I'm just copying what that site has in its insult section .

1. You are awful.
4. your mother

But all of them are impolite. We don't say usual.
If I have a situation use those words, I could say...
1. anataha hidoi hitoda
2. ??? (I can't transrate it into a polite Japanese.)
3. anata nioi masuyo (But I don't say it usual even if it's true...)
4. anata no okaasan

こんにちはみなさん。(should be "hello everyone".. hope it's right)
I have slowly learned Japanese my own.. don't know half year already? but know still nothing... I think Japanese is not too hard, but there is too few Estonian web pages for this. I also don't have Japanese - Estonian dictionary... I must translate everything first into English and.... Well English I have learn, to communicate(Estonian speak only about 1,5 milion peoples) but Japanese I like.
Anyway It's good to see others interested about it.. more fun!
