Words I've learned since watching this show:

Hajime

Yame

Kunoichi

Idetakimas

Hai

And I'm sure there are others, but I can't think of them right now. Bring on the Japanese!

Idetakimas = Itadakimasu Another silent vowel at the end. Closest meaning is 'Thanks for the food', but there isn't really an equivalent.

I remember Leo saying Onegaishimasu to Raph in the first episode, which is 'Please do'.

I hasten to add I am not Japanese nor fluent in the language. I did an evening course for two years, so I'm vaguely at stupid tourist level. ;D
