Blatantfool Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Depends on the Director of the Film you're watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma_Ghost Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) As an anglicized word, both are used. As a direct loan word, ninja is the correct plural (and singular) form. Edited September 15, 2013 by Karma_Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servanin Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 ninja doesn't have a plural form in japanese. You can have two ninja, you can have four ninja, you can have a few ninja, but you can't have ninjas.I don't see why you couldn't use it in english though.

Amistyrja Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I personally can't bring myself to say 'ninjas'. If I do, I'd have to pronounce the word as 'ninjuhs' rather than 'ninjahs', and that really sounds quite strange in my opinion. Call me silly, but I've always said ninja because I find saying 'ninjas' awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General_Krull Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Its obviously ninjee or ninji. Pronounced Ninjeye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelan Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I'd say ninji, but I have been Tenno'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matto Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) It depends man. As a foreigner living in Japan, and speaking Japanese, since I want to be respectful to Japanese language, I say ninja (since there is no plural form in Japanese, it's all about context). But, ninja is now a common word that is used in a lot of languages (English, or my native French), so you can say ninjas and it doesn't mean it is wrong. I even think it is more correct considering the grammar your using. It's a difference of opinion. You can use it the way you want. :) Edited September 15, 2013 by matto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlchemistMute Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 There's no plural form in Japanese, so I'd probably say ninja. However, either way is proper. You can decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitegj Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Ninja because nobody that see more than one ninja lives to tell the tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderain Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Its obviously ninjee or ninji. Pronounced Ninjeye. Ninji (ninj-eye~) I'd say ninji, but I have been Tenno'd. This is too much for my fragile being to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
