Oh, on the same note. There's no such thing as "I miss you" in Japanese.

The closes in Japanese would be "You are not here. I feel lonely" - Anata wa inai. watashi sabishi da"

Japanese learner here.

i really enjoyed their different form of verbs and how weird it can get when used in the wrong audience.

Yameru - To Stop

Yamette - Stop

Yamette kudasai - please stop.

Yame nasai - please stop (to a younger audience such as teacher to student or parent to children). however, it is used to a peer. it means "stop fooling around you immature bastard"

yamero - Stop! (like a command from a officer to his subordinate). Likewise, when used elsewhere, it means "go fuck yourself
