I have a question.. I'm watching alot of anime and I keep learning new words, but today I heard a word that was translated to 'Newbie', but they talked really fast xD
Can anyone tell me what the japanese word for Newbie is??

表現パターンnewb [newbie] question
* Hi, my apologies in advance for the newbie question.
こんにちは、初歩的な質問でどうもすみません。

And the result seems to be many different ways to say "newbie". So it's hard to say what exactly the anime used.

wow thanks but i actually meant in Romaji, because my writing isn't any better than my speaking..
so if you could wright it in Romaji that would be great!
