Dattebayo

What does that mean?

It means "I'm a retarded Naruto fanboy who tries to speak Japanese and fails."

From the Dattebayo Inc. FAQ:

It seems to me that Naruto says "dattebayo" a lot. What does it mean?

It means, "I'm gay."
Actually it means nothing at all. It's just something random that Naruto adds onto the end of almost all of his lines to annoy us.

I read somewhere that it's supposed to be a verb stem of some sort that he adds onto his lines to sound more macho? That's just what I read. A couple of my other favorite anime characters add random things to their lines; eg., 'de masu'.

HEY COULD YOU PLEASE

PASS ME THE PEAS

~tteba is the contraction of ~to ieba ("if I say so"), which is commonly used when you're repeating something you've said already, and want to sound a little irritated.

え〜、ラブレター？
ちがう。
やっぱりユコちゃんモテるんじゃない。
いや、だからっ。
あっ、ユコちゃん真っ赤だ。かわいー。
ちがうってば！人の話を聞けよ！

So '~tteba yo' should mean pretty much the same thing, except it's not very logical, and it's not used in real-life (Narutards aside). It doesn't sound macho at all to me, though. ~tteba is more common woman or child speech, I think.

By the way, 'de masu' doesn't look like a reasonable gobi to me. Perhaps you meant 'dearimasu'?

demasu = deru?
