Re: Japanese Word Thread
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

ne: a sentence ending particle, means something like "isn't it?" (i.e. "kyo wa atsui desu ne." "It's hot today, isn't it?")
Re: Japanese Word Thread
na: a sentence ending particular with a similar meaning to ne. However, na can be a bit more tougher and more masculin sounding. It can also imply talking to yourself.
