Extremely casual way to make requests to very close friends How does one make a very casual "request" to a good friend. I know that the form is used to make a request that is fairly casual, but it doesn't sound "casual enough". For example, , would probably sound like 'please' eat it (a very soft please) and ptobably isnt said in very casual situations. To give a more concrete example, lets say I am with a close friend, and what I really want to say is "come on, dont be a wimp and just eat it bruh" or something along that line. In such cirxumstances, I would probably say...blah blah blah...... and finallyI should also ask if its ok for both genders to use it. But that (at least to me) doesnt really sound casual does it, so I am wondering what is the most appropriate way to say this

In no particular order, we do say these:

*

*

* **** ← gaining popularity in recent years.

* {} mostly masculine

* mostly masculine

*

* {} mostly masculine

*

* {} mostly masculine




The ones that use {} instead of {} would naturally be uttered mostly by male speakers.

Thus, to a friend that is hesitating to try a food item, you might say:

* {} or {}



↑ Change the to and it will sound even more casual.

* {}{}{}



I have probably gone too casual. Point is that if your Japanese is basically textbook-ish (which is often the case with Japanese-learners), uttering just one extremely casual sentence learned from a native speaker will only make you look weird.
