What is Desu?

A word that bears different meanings when used by those familiar with the Japanese language from those who speak not a lick of Japanese yet want to seem like they know what they're talking about, AKA your garden-variety weeaboo.

When used by an actual Japanese speaker, it roughly translates to "it is" and is an integral part of Japanese grammar. When used by your average weeaboo, it roughly translates to "I am a stupid American faggot who has no idea what the fuck they're talking about."

"Prussia is so kawaii, desu!"

"Shut up, you fucking Wapanese faggot."

Desu

The one word that every real Japanese person will go insane if you keep on saying it to them, mainly standing for 'it is' to go at the end of a sentence became a big meme of annoying weaboo or otaku. If you're wondering why it goes at the end of the sentence it's because in Japanese sentences are formed differently.

It is said in a motivational Poster that if you keep on typing Desu, you will turn Japanese, people believed that, and that's now what you will constantly hear from people who want to prove they're Japanese, also see kawaii for another annoying weaboo term.

Person 1: Kawaii Desu
Person 2: SHUT UP!

Desu

Or ใงใ™ in Hiragana. Desu is the polite form of the copula in Japanese linguistics. This translates out to "to be" or "is". It's usually used at the end of a sentence as the predicate, or is used to make a sentence sound more polite. The plain/casual form for this is "da", or ใ . Sentences that use the copula usually take on the form of "A is B" type sentences, although it can take on other moods depending on the grammatical particles that accompany it.

Unfortunately, the copula has been bastardized and misused too often by people who don't know anything about Japanese. If you want to sound like a complete fucktard, use desu at the end of your sentences while speaking in English, or use it excessively at the end of every sentence, even when the sentence doesn't require it to be used.
