how do you say cool in Japanese

[mandolin]

I think the 'sugee' pronounciation is colloquial/informal. Possibly province related (like kansai-ben?).

[remyremy]

aha, ok, i always forget to consider colloquialism when deciphering meanings. much thanks~

[WacKostRacKo]

i suppose that after thinking about it, suteki! can be an exclamation, just havent heard it used that way before...

[Spaztick]

すげえ is a really masculine way of saying すごい, so if you wanna sound macho you could go with that.

*remembers an イテエ！ incident*

You'll hear girls referring to guys as cute, and there's nothing wrong with it, but it tends to refer to personality rather than looks.

I can't believe no one's mentioned ダンディー yet.

I asked my Japanese girlfriend how to say "cool" and she in turn replied with "choku." Take it or leave it.

ダンディー? is that the katakana for dandy?:p

Is your girlfriend Okinawan? Choku sounds like okinawa-ben
