日本語のビデオ

This video was about different slang words in Japanese and what they mean and how they are used. Through this video, I learned that some words can be turned into slang words by adding "ru" to nouns or onomatope. One thing I found interesting was that the a lot of the slang words sounded like English words and their meaning in Japanese matched with the meaning in English. For example, "daburu" sounds like "double" in English and in Japanese it essentially means twice/to get something twice which is what double means in English. Some other examples were "guguru" (to Google) and "toraburu" (to get into or cause trouble). I didn't realize how many Japanese slang words, or words in general, are derived from English words and I thought that was pretty cool to see.
