Cool huh?
I thought is was funny.
And desu, hmm... You see...

English: 1-Subject 2-verb 3-object
But japanese is... "1-subject 2-object 3-verb"

The word "desu"
(pronounced "des" with a short-E because you drop the U sounds)
Is used for the verbs "am", "is", "are" regardless of the subject.
Saying "desu, desu" would be like saying "true, true", in responce to someones statement to agree with them.

And drat you jumping ahead in the lessonplan >.<

Well, I always did have a habit of passing other students and reading ahead in the textbooks. sweatdrop

I never even read the book unless I had too.
And then I usually just skimmed.
