What is a "desi"? And how to understand an animeletika?

Each group of people, united on some basis, sooner or later forms its own vocabulary, allowing to maintain a conversation on common topics without long unnecessary explanations. So-called animeshniki, that is, fans of anime, also did not escape this fate. Sometimes their vocabulary introduces unwitting listeners into a stupor. What is a "desi"? How to understand the phrase "kavayny nya desu opening"? And why this "desu" appears arbitrarily in almost any phrase, which leaves no possibility to determine its meaning independently.

Where did the "desu" come from: anime slang

Initially, the word "desu" was not slang - it is quite an ordinary Japanese concept, which has no definite meaning and is used as a polite and reinforcing prefix to various kinds of statements or statements. If one understands what a "desi" is from the analogies of the Russian language, then one can note a remote similarity with the word-parasites of "type", "shorter", "in general" or "of course", which are included in speech without reference to the specific meaning of the conversation.

However, the "desi" originally carries a reinforcing and confirming meaning, which must be respectfully included in the spoken phrase. In fact, it is a verb-bundle, literally meaning "to be." In the anime, the word "desu" is used by some hysterical characters and comic characters. The excess of this word is used as an artistic technique, emphasizing the characteristics of the character.

What is "desu", and how to use it correctly?

From the point of view of an anime-boy, especially a beginner, "desu" gives his speech the necessary Japanese color to get behind his in a narrow circle. It can not be said that this is bad. Many after starting attempts to understand what "desi" is and whether it is necessary in this speech in general, they begin to seriously study the Japanese language. Moreover, they achieve excellent results.

In conversation with the animeshniki "desu" can be used to the place and out of place, this word will suit almost anywhere, because it means anything. To academic Japanese it has not the slightest relation, therefore it is a matter of strictly tusovka connoisseurs of anime. In most cases, excessive "desi" does not irritate anyone, since neophytes sin at every step of the way.

"Kawai Nya desu" and other oddities

The most common bunch of words in the anime party - "kwai desi", "nya desu" or even together - "nya kawai desu". What are we talking about? If you take on the translation of each word individually, then this will bring little clarity. "Kawai" - this is usually said about something very nice. On the web, often the wrong derivative noun from the adjective "dear" often appears, looks like "milashestvo" or even "mercy" in the meaning "something very glorious and touching." So "kawai" is a "sweet" of clean water. The word was used as a noun and immediately spawned the adjective "kavayny". So the touching cat is automatically a kovain cat.

With the theme of seals, the word "nya" is also closely related. In fact, so from the Japanese translates cat's "meow." With the same sound, a cat is called in place of our "kis-kis-kis". The word "nya" is used by animeans anywhere, any way and in any quantity. This is consistent with Japanese usage. One of the anime characters, a former cat, manages only to issue long monologues with this word, not devoid of meaning. And since the seals are lovely, the word "nya" is also perfectly used as a replacement or addition to the word "kawaii". Also, the movement received the verb "nyat", similar in meaning to the same verb form as "kavayvatsya" - that is, to be touched, touching something to admire and rejoice. Hence the well-known adjective "nyashny", mutated, in turn, into a short noun "nyash" (someone nice and touching). All this can be pronounced with the prefix "desu".

The most popular "desu" meme

Like any popular phenomenon, the anime japanisms did not escape the transformation into memes. The expression "shield to do desu" expresses enough malicious and even venomous sarcasm for any occasion, is used as the final argument in any disputes or excuses. Means literally "what to do" and implies that there is nothing to do here, it remains only to accept.

The expression itself is an original fusion of Russian and Japanese languages, seasoned with a two-slang version of the question "what?", Which differs from the usual double the amount of puzzled input.

Relevance of the use of anime stamps

Like any slang for a narrow circle, an anime talk, laced with japanisms, is of little use in normal life. He does not cause such obvious condemnation as criminal jargon or so-called "Bosnian argo", but expecting an understanding in response to slang expressions would be short-sighted. Of course, not everything is so unambiguous with the word "desu", the translation and general meaning of which is known to almost all people who are somehow connected with the Internet community, even if they have nothing to do with the anime culture.

It is worth remembering that the overabundance of "desu" has a comic tone even in Japan. You can draw parallels with the Russian language: we also do not welcome the active use of word-parasites, clogging speech and do not add anything meaningful to the meaning of what has been said. Even this, at first glance, not serious phenomenon, like the anime, perfectly demonstrates this. Words of parasites adorn Naruto's speech, his mother. In the anime, "Bleach", there is a comic character that overly uses the friendly touch of speech that is inherent in the Kansai dialect of Shiga Prefecture. To each short phrase he adds the word "yansu", and this sounds both funny and irritating.

Japan in memetic

It should be noted that not only anime fans use different phrases or images with Japanese roots. There is such an unrecognized science - a mathematician, studying the appearance and influence of memes as an information unit. According to memetic principles, any replicated phrases, words or concepts become more capacious than ordinary explanations, if it is necessary to briefly and concisely express not only the opinion, but also the emotional tinge.

What became the source of the word "desu"? Manga, anime, that is, a few exaggerated works designed for children, adolescents and young people. This is now the most active part of Internet users, and the time goes very quickly. The most famous at the moment memetic japanizm, splashed far beyond the limits of the anime party, this word "nyash", which is addressed to a very pretty girl, the prosecutor of the Crimea. Memetic can be considered pseudoscience, but it does not take away the main thing - only one short word of three letters completely and exhaustively conveys the characteristics of the appearance of a public person. And there's nothing to be done about it, "desu".
