| Have you ever wondered what Desu ment? well...so did i...
BUT THEN I GOOGLED IT!!
Desu: A short Japanese word that links a noun and verb, literally translated as "it is." Image boards have taken this as a meme, often repeating "desu desu desu," for various reasons, including to tease the newbies or stubbornly persist in an argument.
The end

| Haha. I love Google. I'm learning Japanese at school, and the only thing I really remember is "USE DESU TO SOUND POLITE." |DDD
But it makes sense. Samui = cold. Samui desu = it is cold. Kyou wa samui desu = Today is cold.
Okay. No more impromptu Japanese lesson. |
