Sennin, someone already used Japanese for this meaning. And they actually wrote it in Japanese too (hiragana).
Portuguese
obrigado *
"thank you"
*Note that "obrigado" is to be used if a male is giving his thanks, but "obrigada" is to be used if it is a female.

Spanish
aburrido
"bored/boring"
Interesting note: In Spanish, there are two verbs for the verb "to be" (ser and estar). When "aburrido" is used with the verb ser (es aburrido(a)), it means "boring" ("he/she/it is boring"), but when used with the verb estar (estoy aburrido(a)), it means "bored" ("I am bored").
