It's not rude, but it's not polite either. You wouldn't use it with a person of senior social rank or someone you don't know well. You could use it with good friends - guys often use it with girls, as well as kids. It's colloquial but not offensive... unless you pronounce it as おめぇ then that starts sounding nasty.
A variant of おまえ is 手前 (てまえ), which is certainly not polite and is considered offensive when the pronunciation is slurred as てめぇ!
that makes more sense, since when i watch J-dramas i hear guys hitting on girls by saying "Omae" and that made me confused
"Temee" i have heard a few times in anime and dramas and pretty much gathered that it was rude (since it was always punk characters and really angry people that said it)
next word I'm unsure on "Umai" since i hear it for food, talet, and other things
(sorry to keep asking questions, but I really want to improve my Japanese Vocab / Fluency)
It can be used to describe anything that's good or awesome - either something well done or tasty.
I suppose it has a broader meaning than お上手 or おいしい because お上手 refers to proficiency and おいしい just refers to flavour - whereas うまい covers both. So you can use うまい as a synonym for either じょうず or おいしい.
e.g.
アーシーさんのサンスクリット古語はじょうずですね
"Arcee's Classical Sanskrit is good, isn't it?"
アーシーさんのサンスクリット古語はうまいですね
"Arcee's Classical Sanskrit is good, isn't it?"
アーシーさんの料理はおいしいですね!
"Arcee's cooking is delicious, isn't it?"
アーシーさんの料理はうまいですね!
"Arcee's cooking is delicious, isn't it?"
Btw, the best way to improve your Japanese fluency is to just go hang out with Japanese speakers. The best kind are the ones who speak NO English. And if they try to speak to you in English, keep answering back in Japanese... I find in most cases they'll give up and switch over to Japanese. Although it's funny when they don't... some older members here may remember Tiger Convoy - the Japanese Transfan who lived in Australia for a while. At first he and I spoke to each other in Japanese, and sometimes at meets I would help translate for him -- but as his English got gooderer, he would start talking back to me in English (how dare he take my advice and turn it back on me! ) -- so we would end up having these weird bilingual conversations where I would talk to him in Japanese and he'd keep talking to me in English! Heh.
Thank you Goki-Senpai

Why drink Australian beer in Japan? (you can do that when you get back) -- might as well try Japanese beers while you're there. Where else can you purchase alcohol from vending machines?! Enjoy your time in Japan and just immerse yourself in the culture and language - for better or worse (every culture/society has its good and bad elements). Worry about experiencing Aussie things for when you're in Australia. When I was in Japan I made a conscious effort to distance myself from the English language and Anglo-culture and tried as much as possible to immerse myself in Japanese language and culture.
