30 Going on 13
No, I didn't make some crazy wish with a Japanese fortune teller to be a kid again. Heck, I'm not even 30...
Remember, though, when you were a kid and you would add o's and u's to the ends of words and pretend that you could speak Italian or Spanish (or any other foreign language)? Chrys and I are endlessly amused that it seems to actually work for us over here.
Say acetaminophen and get a blank stare. Acetaminofino, though, and they'll nod and take headache medicine.
"Take out" = funny look. "Take out-o" = food in a bag.
There are others, but I can't seem to remember them right now.
I'm not sure this rule is 100%, but at least I'm not alone...
I drove by a shop today. The sign said ゴフロ (gofuro). I'm betting "golf-o" would be close enough.
