Some of us are in are own little world when it comes to Inuyasha. And some of us raving fangirls and otakus like speaking in Japanese, just like our dear subtitled episodes.
So, if anyone would care to create a dictionary of most used phrases, it would be handy. I would, but I am a little busy right now... stare I can only add a few in...
Feel free to create your own little dictionaries in this topic. It would be very helpful! *glomps*

-dono = an honourable suffix, showing the highest respect for someone. It can also mean lord, as well as '-sama'.
Sempai = if you call someone your "sempai" then you see them as your senior, or superior. Usually used at school for someone who is in a higher grade or someone you respect more intellectually.
Sensei = used for teachers, mentors, doctors, etc. Someone who is higher than you, like a sempai, who teaches you.

You guys basically stated all that there is but... here's also a few:
Atashi wa: I, me... though this could only be used for females (males, don't use this unless u want to sound gay)
Jikusho (something like that >_<): Damn/Sh*t (a swear word that inuyasha uses often)
Kaze no Kizu: Roughly translates as Cutting Wind (Kaze means wind)... an attack of Tetsaiga.
O-Jee-san: Old man
Can't think of anymore right now... >_<

Kyoko-chan_1 You guys basically stated all that there is but... here's also a few: Atashi wa: I, me... though this could only be used for females (males, don't use this unless u want to sound gay) Jikusho (something like that >_<): Damn/Sh*t (a swear word that inuyasha uses often) Kaze no Kizu: Roughly translates as Cutting Wind (Kaze means wind)... an attack of Tetsaiga. O-Jee-san: Old man Can't think of anymore right now... >_< = old man, grandfather Watashi = me, I wa = particle that shows ppl what u wanna say, the strong part of the sentence (egg.: Watashi wa desu. My name is / I am ; Watashi wa seito desu. I am a pupil.)
Chikushou = s**t
Kuso = the f word
Kaze no Kizu = kizu -> wound; kaze -> wind; so a mottamo translation would be The Wind Wound
