When did this happen?

When did "Ok desu" become acceptable Japanese?

It is heard all of the time now, and especially on TV it seems.:confused:

[socalheart]

think of it as slang that will go away in time, and it doesn't hurt the brain as much :D

It's ok. Using the English meaning for the word ok.

Are the Okinawans still using "more better"? It's fun to watch the look on someones face when you say it. That's one of the cute thinks I came away with from Okinawa.

I've recently heard the phrase "easy man" on TV. Its being used more and more as well. Phrases like "ok desu" and "gets" have been around for a bit amoung the younger crowd:D

[ja_Patriot]

I use it all the time. They understand so that's all that matters. "Daijoubu desu", same difference.

A new one I heard lately from my son is 'Don't min', you know 'don't mind'
without saying the last 'd' sound.
When I heard him say that I just said 'what, why are you saying that?
Seems it's pretty trendy.

I've often thought what I would do if my kid started to bastardize his/her own language like that.... I mean its a D sound how hard can it be? Aside from him or her have a speech impediment, that I could understand. Or when they're young and are still learning the ropes. In the case of it just being trendy I would have to hit them over the noggin, in a fatherly way, with a dictionary and hope that some of the content inside sinks in :D

Donmai's been around since I was in high school, so at least 10+ years by now. That one's nothing new. Even I use it if I'm talking to Japanese people on a video game or somewhere really informally.

You should hear kids when they are practicing their sports, it gets used quite often when someone misses or makes a mistake.

Heh. I remember having to explain teen slang to my parents back in the day. My dad would come back with slang from his teen years. My mother would simply shake her head at us. I don't get a chance to hear the American slang the Japanese kids have picked up, but I'm annoyingly baffled by the slang American kids use.

I never noticed this until today. I was taking pictures for our wedding at morlia and the camera man and hair dressers kept saying "ok desu" whenever they were finished.
