Is gaijin plural or just singular?

i.e. is it "gaijins"?

Doesn't matter, English will bastardize any word into being grammatical.

>> No.1447794

If you're talking in Japanese, it's "gaijin"

If you're talking in English, it's "foriegners"

If you're talking in English, and you're a weeaboo, then it's "gaijins".

Black people are stupid because they still get angry at the word after like 400 years. Faggot means nothing in todays language. Just like nigger doesnt.

Just because you aren't willing to do it doesn't mean it is useless.

Plus, it is always an advantage to learn another language, which is why Latin is still tought, not a lot but it is still taught, learning languages helps with a ton of other educational processes so why not learn one that will help you understand, a great deal, something you are interested in.
