Hi Angelus,
Here is my bridge for you!
---(start)---
Bruno(+"kun,"an ending indicating that Bruno is a boy/young man, and that the writer is on warm, friendly terms with him)...do you...study/work together with Adriano(+"san," an ending indicating that Adriano is not so close to the writer)?
Hmmm...
Do I have a good reputation? (Literally: About me is good? But the original is written in strange Japanese)...Have you heard...any bad things?
Are you…an otaku?
(But it also might simply mean "Are you at home now?" )
---
Uh...Adriano (+"san"; i.e. underlining his distance from Bruno too) and I are only friends...
I met him on the Internet...
I heard good things about you!
(smile)
and...yes! I am an otaku! hahahahaha
---(end)---
"Otaku" doesn't really mean "someone who is crazy about Japanese culture": it might not be Japanese culture in particular; it could be about computers, or something else too. It means "someone who gets so completely into something that they are kind of specialists in it." Usually it's a hobby, a collection, a strange pastime, etc.; usually
not work, nor something creative like art or writing. (It's often something that other people might think: "You
waste so
much time on
that? ! ?â€)
