Don't you guys use "mate" anymore? |
It is a bit tomboyish but girls do use it. I rarely hear the word 'mate' though the boys do use it among themselves sometimes. It is more common for adult men though.

How do you say AZN? like...eizeden?
(first, I didn't read it properly and thought you were talking about the bank!)

haha. This is actually taken from Internet chatting language. Just like lol (laugh out loud), rofl (rolling on the floor laughing). (These are pronounced as a word). AZN is pronounced by reading the letters separately >> A - Z - N. Teens use it because it roughly sounds like the word Asian. There is also OMG (pronounced as separate letters) which stands for Oh my God!
Japanese people have internet language too right? Can you give me some examples? =D

I heard that, whoppsie daisy! <<whoopsie daisy! you spelt it wrong ^^
daisy is a flower right?

Yeah. Daisy is a flower. 'Daisy' is probably used for a sound effect not because it has any literal meaning.
Sure! I look forward to meeting Sakura...
