    Default Japanese Shortcut Phrases for CM?

    I was inspired by Z-0's post (on a thread that I can't link due to post count)
    (For joining, I usually do this:

    空いていますか? - Is there still room?
    [If yes]
    外国人ですが 参加してもいいですか? - I'm a foreigner but is it alright if I still join?

    And then it's fine after that, nobody has any ill-will towards 外人 if you know how to not be useless and can communicate the basics).
    and was wondering if there was something a little more expanded on the speaking with Japanese players part.

    I'm thinking along the lines of "Essential Japanese Shortcut Phrases for CM". Examples could include "Does anyone have Foie", "I'll go top right", or "I'll lure the boss". Is this a thing?

    At this point I'd rather just learn basic Japanese but the idea might be more complex than it sounds.
    None the less, nice thread.

    Here are some generic phrases plus whatever else I could think of relevant:

    Asking for items:
    Xありませんか - Is there X?
    X余っていませんか - Is there leftover X? / X in surplus?
    X余ってる人いませんか - Is there anyone with X in surplus?
    Xあったらください - If X shows up, please give it to me

    Fill X with a desired item and # with a quantity (or omit the last 2 characters to not specify):
    Code:
    武器#個			weapons
    ユニット#個		units
    ディスク#枚		discs
    グラインダー#個		grinders
    
    (モノ/ディ/トリ)メイト	(mono/di/tri)mate
    ライフル			rifle
    ガンスラ(ッシュ)		gunsla(sh)
    コモンランチャー		common launcher
    コモンDB			common DB
    ザンバ			zanba
    (T)ヤスミ(ノコフ2000H)	(t) yasmi(nkov2000H)
    サテ(ライトエイム)		sate(llite aim)
    ヤスミやサテ		yasmi and sate
    フォイエ			foie		
    クラスター(バレット)	cluster (bullet)
    ラグラ(ンツ)			ragra(nts)
    ライドスラッシャー		ride slasher
    シンフォ(ニックドライブ)	sympho(nic drive)
    リア				rear [unit]
    アーム			arm [unit]
    レッグ				leg [unit]
    ブリッツ			blitz [unit from tagamikadzuchi]
    (the parts in parentheses are usually omitted to shorten the terms)


    Picking a direction:
    Xいきます - I'll go X

    Fill X with a desired direction or even just say X alone:
    左 left
    右 right
    左上 top left
    右上 top right
    左下 bottom left
    右下 bottom right


    Announcing roles:

    管理します - I'll manage [VR]
    先行します - I'll go on ahead [to intervals to lock the VR drain]
    ファンジやります - I'll do Funji
    タゲやります - I'll take on aggro [for the whole run, if said at the start of the run]
    タゲとります - I'll draw aggro [for this specific instance, if said as the danger is about to show up]


    Misc:
    <pi> 置きました - I put down <pi>
    <t> 頂きます - I'll be taking <t>
    ありです - ty
    thx - thx
    ありがとです - thanks
    ありがとう - thank you
    ありがとうございます - thank you very much
    ひ / ひばしら - fire / flame pillars [burn draal's, as a warning from the aggro drawer when it enters that stage]

    I was actually thinking of doing the same thing. But I was gonna just use google translate and sound like a moron but if someone else can translate stuff that would be cool.

    I know there's a tool that you can use in game that floats on top of the game which translates all texts typed (using google translate) real time, so you could use that to help you figure out what people are saying and which shortcuts to use.

    edit: asdfv's post seems to work [=

    Couple phrases I was curious about-

    #武器を必要とする - I need # weapons (is this correct? is there a better way to ask for weapons/items you need to trade in shop?)

    also how do you say anything about the VR items?

    If you want to announce you'll be taking on the role of VR manager at the start of the run, VR管理します should do. If for whatever reason you are going to pick up a VR capsule outside of that role and want to give a warning, something like VR15%拾います might do.

    If you found and picked up hidden VR outside of the role and want to announce it, (X)隠しVR取りました could do, with X specifying the location (or not):
    左上の - top left (at M7)
    中央の - center (at M7)
    <pos>での - at <pos> (at M9)

    As for asking for weapons, such quantities in Japanese are oddly phrased more as adverbs than as adjectives, so it'd be 武器を#つ rather than #武器を. 必要とする might be a bit too heavy. Alternatives could be
    武器1つほしい - I want 1 weapon
    武器1つください - Please give me 1 weapon
    武器1つお願いします - 1 weapon, please
    武器1つ余ってませんか - Is there 1 weapon extra?
