No "languages" or "culture" tags, I guess? ETA: MADE MY OWN! HAHA. THX 2 ALEXA 4 THE TIP LOL.

  • ちゃう, ちまう = てしまう
  • じゃう, じまう = でしまう
  • っきゃ = しか (lack of anything else, "only"; takes a negative verb)
  • っぽい = そう, よう, らしい, etc.
  • いかない + わけ = must (or must not) be done at all costs! 'いかない' is a form of 'いけない.'
  • でください can be represented with a sentence-final, unrelated "で."
  • in a と-comparison question, "の方" ([the one] on this side) is often used to indicate the preferred choice; can be used with any number of options
