Here are some basic words and phrases you will hear frequently in the Tamagotchi anime. This is so you can get a better understanding of the show, even though they're not really important
Ohayo/ohayou (sounds like o-hai-o) - As many people know, this is a greeting meaning "Good morning!"
Sayonara - Means "Good-bye"
Matane and matashita also mean "good-bye" but in a more "See you again" way.
Sumimasen - This means "sorry".
Gomen - This closely means "sorry", but in a more "excuse me" way. Other phrases you will hear are Gomen nasai and gomen ne. They all mean a similar thing.
Onegai - This means "please".
Gamba and gambaru mean "Keep at it" / "Go for it". It is used to wish someone luck or to encourage them to not give up.
Totemo - means "very" or "a lot". For example, Totemo kawaii desu basically means "It's very cute!"
Matte - This is used to mean "stop" or "wait".
Chotto - This usually means "Just a minute" or "a little bit". You may hear chotto matte which means "Wait just a minute!"
Zutto - This means all the way; the whole time; basically means "forever".
Issho - This means "together". So, zutto issho means together forever
Shiawase - This means happiness; good fortune; blessing. Characters tend to say it when they're in a happy situation.
Honto - This means "truth". Sometimes it is also used to mean "Really?"
Hayaku (sounds like hi-ya-ku) - This means "quickly". Characters often use it to mean "Hurry!"
Taihen - The main definition of this word is "greatly" but it can also mean "terrible" or "serious"; characters say it when there's a grave situation.
Himitsu - "secret"
Wakuwaku - Used to express excitement
Dokidoki - Used to express one's heart beating quickly, as in when a character is excited
Oishii - this means "delicious"
Watashi, boku, and uchi all refer to oneself, meaning "I" or "me".
