Inuyasha: fine *does so*
(This is what he wrote)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ai shiteru - I love you

demo - but
fuku - uniform. Like Kagome's school clothes.
gakkou - school
gakkousei - student
genki - energy, healthy, happy, entergetic

Haha-ue: Colloquial address for 'mother' (not really used in modern Japan) child-Inuyasha uses this address on his mother in that realy sad flashback.
hai - yeah, yes, ok
Hanyou - (Han-yoh) Han = half, You = demon. So, half-demon. In this case, Inuyasha is a hanyou because his father was a youkai and his mother was a human.
hentai - pervert
hime - princess
hokora - small shrine. Such as the one that the Bone Gobbling well is concealed in.
houshi - monk. Miroku's a houshi, though a perverted one at that.
iie - no
inu - dog
Inuyasha - Inu = dog, Yasha = Demon, so "Dog-demon". The kanji breakdown of his name translate to "Dog Night Wars/Gang" according to a Japanese woman who I had the pleasure of talking to in Tsukuba City, Japan. (Of course I had to ask her about Inuyasha. ^_^)
itai - owch
ja ne - or just plain out 'ja' mean 'see you later'
jigoku - hell
Kagome - A song for children that many Japanese people know. Besides being the heroine's name, there was some meaning behind it, actually.

kappa - water demon
katana - Japanese samurai styled sword
kawaii - cute
kaze - wind
ki - spirit, energy
kimi - you (male form to close friends or children)
kisama - you (very insulting) Inuyasha uses this a lot when talking to enemies or just in general since he is a potty mouth.
kitsune - fox. Shippou is a kitsune youkai or fox demon.
Kokoro - Spirit, love, heart, soul. Various meanings, but all have to do with spirit.
konnichi wa - hello
Kono Sesshoumaru: 'This Sesshoumaru.' Sesshoumaru says this a lot when refering to himself. I think it's some sort of pharse associated with high nobility. Kind of like how English royalty refer to themselves as 'we.'
kunoichi - female ninja
Kuso: Shit! (literally) Inuyasha uses this after 'sits' occasionally.
mamouru - to protect
mamotte ageru - I'll protect you.
matte - Stop! (male)
miko - priestess (What Kikyou is)
minna - everyone

Inuyasha: you're staring at me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shikon no Tama - Jewel of Four Souls or the Four Souled Jewel. In this story, the jewel contains four spirits of the world and was created by a priestess named Midoriko who lived long before even Inuyasha's time. This is a powerful jewel that can grant anyone strength.

Shouki - evil aura given off by youkai
Shoujo - General word for girl
Shounen - General word for boy
sora - sky
sugoi - cool! awesome!
sumimasen - I'm sorry, please excuse me.
Tai - As in taiyoukai. Tai means ultimate, surpreme, or great. So, taiyoukai would mean "Great Demon" which is what Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father was.
Taijiya: Exterminator. Sango is a youkai tajiya.
tamashi - life
Temee: You (more insulting than kisama, roughly translates to bitch/bastard) Inuyasha uses this a lot with Sesshoumaru and has used this address a few times on Kagome after harsh 'sits.'
tetsusaiga - Inuyasha's sword that was left behind for him from his father. It transforms into a large fang when it is held by someone who wishes to protect Humans and can only work with Inuyasha. When it's not transformed, it appears as a rusty old katana.

uso - a lie
wakaru - I understand.
watashi - I (polite)
watashi wa - I am

yarou - bastard (used towards males)
Youkai - Means "demon" in this sense. The word "you" translates to demon, but the real meaning behind 'youkai' is 'bewitching apparition' which include demons, monsters, goblins, and ghouls. Obake and bakemono mean the same thing as youkai and are other words frequently used for spirits.
yume - dream
zettai - never
*Name Suffixes*
-baabaa: Very rude way to say 'old woman.' Inuyasha adds this to the end of Kaede's name.
-chan - Used between friends or with someone younger than you. Generally a very friendly suffix such as "Shippou-chan" as Kagome calls Shippou. Used between boyfriends and girlfriends.
-jiijii: Very rude way to say 'old man.' Inuyasha adds this term to the end of Myouga's name. I don't blame him for this one (the flea's a damn coward!)
-kun - Generally used for males, but can be used for females too. Someone who's close to you as a friend. Kagome calls Kouga "Kouga-kun" to show how she's friendly with him.
-san - Polite and formal. Used for someone at the same position as you or higher. You would use this with strangers if you didn't know them well. It basically means "Ms, Miss, Mr., or Mrs." Miroku calls Kagome "Kagome-san" out of respect.
-dono - Not frequently used in this anime, but in others, like Rurouni Kenshin. Indicates respect and is very polite.
-sama - Very high respect. Used when speaking about gods or someone like an emperor or king. In this case, Kikyou is called "Kikyou-sama" by the villagers that she lived with.
-sensei - Originally means "born earlier than me". Usually used towards your master, teacher, or someone wise in the literature and art. You would call your school teacher by this suffix.
onee-chan/san/sama - what you would call your sister. Souta calls Kagome "Kagome onee-chan". Kaede calls Kikyou "Kikyou onee-sama".
onii-chan/san/sama - what you would call your brother. Souta calls Inuyasha Inu-no-oniichan or the "Dog-eared brother".
