Do they not have sarcasm in Japan? -

I wasn't sure about this because I looked up "sarcasm" in my Japanese dictionary and it wasn't there. Do they not ever joke like that? Or do they just not call it sarcasm?

You do get irony, which can prompt a good laugh. Like when it was pouring with rain, I used to sometimes say to the bike-lot attendant, "Wow, lovely weather today isn't it?" but just going by the reactions I used to get, ("*laughing* Whaaat? What's good about it?" "I'm from England, it's totally nostalgic!") I don't think it's too commonly used by Japanese people themselves. But I'm not sure, so don't take my word for it! |

Well,if they're gonna be like that......I don't call people gay,I don't do any of that stuff! I use sarcasm to refer to things like the weather,and TV programmes. I have started swearing,because I'm at college and I'd go mad if I didn't swear at college.
You can't change who you are too much can you? You've gotta draw a line somewhere. I'll just have to explain myself,where I'm coming from etc. |
