When in 2009 there were rumors that an anime about the son of Naruto would be released, animeshniki did not believe. Life has shown - in vain. The series "Boruto", which was originally designed for 12 episodes, suddenly became an anime with an estimated number of episodes of "100+". And knowing the author, animeshniki are seriously thinking about the possibility of watching anime about Naruto’s grandchildren.
But the jokes aside. If you count, then about 900 episodes of the anime about the world of shinobi have already been released, but no one has yet explained what “dattebayo” means. But Naruto often used it.
Statement
So what does "dattebayo" mean in Japanese? There is an opinion in society that this is a common parasite word that cannot be translated.
However, referring to the modern colloquial language, one can say the following: “Dattebayo” is a kind of Tokyo dialect. This word is used instead of the affirmative "desu." In colloquial speech, it can be reduced to a simple "tetebayo."
In this case, “dattebayo,” which means an emotional statement, translates as “I see!” For example, the statement can be used as: “痛 い, だ っ て ば よ! (Itai, dattebayo!). " Translated will mean "It hurts, I see!"
According to mangaki
In an interview, Masashi Kishimoto, the author of the manga “Naruto”, was asked what “dattebayo” means. He thought for a moment and said: "This word does not matter." When he tried to come up with the features of children's speech of the main character of the manga, and this expression was born by itself. It immediately became part of Naruto Uzumaki, qualitatively emphasizing his arrogance, intransigence and spontaneity.
But although Masashi Kishimoto said that “dattebayo” does not mean anything, in different translations of anime and manga this word takes on more and more new meanings. For example, in English translations such a statement is replaced by “Believe it! (Believe me!). ” In Hungary, he was translated as “Bizony!”, Which means “So here I am!” In Hindi, this word will sound like “Yakeen Mano!”, Translated as “Trust!”.
It is worth noting that in the anime industry market the world of "Naruto" has been around for more than 15 years. Masashi Kishimoto himself coined the word "dattebayo" and it is not translated. But, since the anime and manga "Naruto" became incredibly popular, the exclamations of the protagonist for such a long time managed to turn into a kind of Tokyo dialect and acquired many new meanings. And answering the question of what “dattebayo” means, only one thing can be said: this word is “empty”, and if someone is eager to translate it, any exclamation-emotional expression will do.
