RE: Overused words in Asian languages
to add more i guess in filipino is "po" or "opo"..i guess there's no eng. translation for that.we use that for our elderly.
The poet seeks what is nowhere in all the world,
And yet-somewhere-he finds it.

RE: Overused words in Asian languages
Well, I'm new here(obviously), and I really have a question related to the subject. I here "onni" and "oppa" (Korean) used quite often, but I am really not sure what they mean. I believe the first is for someone younger than yourself, and the other for an older person. I just don't want to make a mistake when using the words.
I'm not Korean either but I know from watching many Korean dramas that unni means like big sister and oppa means big brother but they're used by women. For men they say noona for big sister and hyung (sp?) for big brother.. I think though not really sure..
Also for me I am sick of seeing the word Kawaii! If I have to see another person use this word I am going to strike them one right through the computer screen..

RE: Overused words in Asian languages
when speaking japanese with father or relatives or friends, I always say " Eh" " doomo" "un" "nande" "hai" etc...>_<
In Korean,(I live there) I always use " jinja, oppa, unni, neeeee, jeongmal, wue, mwoya, mollayo, yoboseyo, ka ja, kaji kayo! fighting" these words, I'm really overusing...>_<
In mandarin and cantonese, I tend to add "la or a" in the end of sentences>_< One day, I was taling to a cantonese friend in half english and cantonese, so it sounded like this: No way, la, Okay , la, don't do that la, lets go somewhere else la. oppa,you should call him la ( We spoke english, because we had an english friend with us)
So he asked: What language are you guys speaking??
So the most overused words: eh, doomo,un, nande, hai, jinja,oppa, unni,neeee, jeongmal, wue, mwoya, mollayo, yoboseyo, ka ja, kaji kayo, fighting, la and a...^^

RE: Overused words in Asian languages
I don't know about in Asian languages themselves, but in English people who use kawaii as if it was a synonym for cute get annoying really fast. So overused in it's own way
