How do you say “I am L” in japanese?

Question

just like the character from Death Note

Natalie Goodwin · Accepted Answer

Watashi wa “L” desu. … or just simply, “L” desu.

Natalie Goodwin · Answer

Eh-ru des.Phonetically, that is. The above poster’s “watashi wa…” answer is grammatically correct, but native Japanese speakers often leave out the subject (“I am”) of their sentences. Also, the character is a little gruff in his speech, so he is even more likely to introduce himself this way. There is no “L” in Japanese. They will not say “elle” like we do here, but put an “r” sound into it. Hence “Eh-ru”. The “des” is just the sentence ending. It is not “dez” like you say in the first part of the word desert, but “dess” with a kind of hissy “s” sound. If you want to get really fancy, you can say “Eh-ru des. Ha-ji-me-ma-show.” Which is “I’m L. Nice to meet you.”

Watashi wa L desu.I’m not sure about the L though. The japanese version might have a different name for him, but I think this is right. ^_^

Natalie Goodwin · Answer

Boku wa L desuåãLã§ããBoku is I (only used by male), so if you’re female or, if you’re just plain lazy, you can use:Watashi wa L desuç§ãLã§ããEither one work.
