Uhh, just looking at that, I really wouldn't rely on a translator...it's like plugging a word into a thesaurus, a lot of them won't really fit the idea you're looking for. :[

+Lollipop Kiss+ Well, I'am not sure if this is right, but maybe it would help? WordsGirl=neesan otome ga-ru onnanoko mecchen Love=koigokoro ai aijou ji ren'ai aikou suki koi I'am not sure though if these are right, as I was using a translator. ga-ru? That sounds more like Engrish than an actual Japanese word. I agree with kageling about using a translator.

WordsGirl=neesan otome ga-ru onnanoko mecchen Love=koigokoro ai aijou ji ren'ai aikou suki koi I'am not sure though if these are right, as I was using a translator. Let's see... neesan means sister, so you want to avoid using that one one when talking about anything romantic. Ai, or rather "ai suru" is the verb for love (both to be in love and to make love). Suki just means "like". If you wanted to say you love something or someone (not in the romantic way, but more in the way that ones loves chocolate), it would be daisuki. And koi is the command form of kuru, which means "come" (not in the dirty way). According to my dictionary, though, koi also means love, and koi o shiteiru means to be in love. In my trusty, benri Random-house Japanese dictionary, there are two entries for lesbian, the katakanized "Lezu" and "douseiaisha," which, when looked up in the Japanese>English part of the dictionary, is listed as meaning either a homosexual man or woman.

It's very hard to pick out meanings for words in Japanese without having an actual Japanese person to prompt you. Why? The words can have multiple meanings when different kanji is used.
For instance, 'sake' can mean either salmon or an alcoholic drink.
'Keiko' can mean 'child of kei' or 'indigo'. Both of these are drastically different, as you can see.
I would reccomend that some one find a Japanese friend and ask them to translate. 3nodding

Also Lolicon is not just young girls having realtionships with older adults or other young girls. It's acutally a style of fetish dress where teenagers and adult women dress like young girls.
And loli only pertains to young girls.
Shotacon only pretains to young boys.

One word can have several different meanings, its how you pronounce them thats what dictates the meaning of the word... if you mispronounce a word in Japanese *as with a lot of languages* you can look like a complete dork ( ie like you think your asking wheres the bathroom, you really are asking wheres the porkchop, just because you slurred a letter )... also spelling really is moot, especially with an english keyboard since theres add-ons above letters that the keyboard letters lack...
I know this because I tried to learn Japanese a couple times, I swear theres more rules when it comes to pronounciation and grammar than english... XD

Well, if it's clothes than it's normally given the full name of Lolita, or Gothic Lolita etc to seperate it from the dubious stuff, similarly most Lolita websites etc have very strict rules and disclaimers. (Can you guess I'm a Lolita?)

or just drop the translator and ask me sweatdrop -fluent-
ga-ru is english, except it will actually translate in japan fairly well. But not to seem like an idiot, just say "girl". because its the japanese way of saying girl.
shoujo ai can = Girl's love or Girl Love, doesnt matter because they mostly call it "GL".as in "gee, ell". same with Boy/s love, BL. They have a whole section on this at bookstores, its "GL" or "BL". I think thats the most common name for it as opposed to shoujo ai or yuri. Because Yuri is an actual japanese name sweatdrop
Love=
ai
aijou
ren'ai
aikou
suki
koi
"koigokoro" kind of means more like "loving heart" and i have no idea where "ji" came from.
all the girl ones are correct except im not sure aboot "mecchen"
with sake, just sake is alcoholic drink. However, "salmon" is "shake". theirs a difference.
and when you say "loli" in japan i think theyll interpret it as the short version of "lolita" because you get EGL (elegant gothic lolita) here. Especially in harajuku and stuff

I know this because I tried to learn Japanese a couple times, I swear theres more rules when it comes to pronounciation and grammar than english... XD thats true.if you say some words incorrectly, itll come out completely different. Example: shuushuu this means to collect say it wrong, it'll sound like you want to pee or something sweatdrop rofl but then again if you pronounce everything TOO much, theyll laugh at you
