Q:  How do you say “answer me!” in Japanese

A: “An answer” in Japanese is 答え　”ko ta e”.  So to say “answer me” you would say 答えて “ko ta e te”, or 答えてください　”kotaete kudasai” to be more polite.  But don’t expect an answer straight away – most people are likely to turn away and chat with their friends before plucking up the courage to answer!  You do here this in movies quite a lot though!

Be genki,
