Translations Of A Few Phrases

Fozzy

I watch a good bit of Japanese wrestling and there's a couple of phrases that I hear over and over again and I've been curious for a while as to what they mean

The one that I hear most often sounds something like "sole-duh-sneh". I'm guessing that it's some sort of term of agreement, that's what it sounds like to me anyway judging by the tone of voice of whoever's saying it

The other one is something like "curry-mas". I'm not really sure what that might mean, so hopefully I have the sound of it right

And the last one that I'm wondering about is a short and sharp "hi", which is usually said on its own, leading me to believe that it just means "yes"

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! I can't really go looking in a Japanese dictionary for this so hopefully there's someone here who can figure out what I've typed

Dont be at yourself

"sole-duh-sneh" is probably "sou desu ne", which is indeed an agreement. "That`s right, isn't it?" nuance.

"curry-mas" is probably "kurimasu", meaning to spin or flip - probably refering to the rasslin' moves.

"hi" is probaby "hai", which is yes.

That's great, thanks! My first step in understanding Japanese

Dont be at yourself

You'd be surprised how far repeating 'sou desu ne' while frantically nodding and smiling will get you.

I had a japantimes link in my favourites, but it's defunct now.

Ah, here's one though...

I wasn't talking about sumo wrestling, just Japanese professional wrestling, although some of those terms are helpful so thanks all the same!
