just wana know if anyone can tell me just to say the word "loser" in japanese
Loser
- Thread starter Forgotten_Azn
- Start date
makeru = to lose (verb) 負ける
maketa hito = loser 負けた 人
I guess that the english loser can also be rendered in katakana

Any other ideas ?

You mean : sorry, I didn't forget ?
Loser in sense of the person who has been defeated by the winner is 負けた人 as Aoyama noted earlier. However, English loser is often employed as a derogatory word for a person who always fails, lacks courage and is good at nothing. The aforementioned 負けた人 does not express this idea so well. Instead, we say 負け犬 (makeinu); literally, "losing dog."
In sports and battles, the loser is 敗者（ はいしゃ ）。 a country who was
defeated in a war is 敗戦国（ はいせんこく ）。
a sport team who is a loser is 負けチーム。
a person who remained delayed in promotion in a company is
負け犬（ まけいぬ ）。
負けたｘｘｘ 。 負けた（ まけた ） can be used as an adjective to indicate
a loser in something.

All of the above is true.
Some romajis for those who may need them ...:
敗者 : haisha
敗戦国 haisenkoku
負け(た）チーム make(ta) team (chi-mu)
Flaminius already mentioned make inu
敗北者 haibokusha may also be a possibility
What is interesting is that in japanese loser (maketa) is literally the one who has been defeated/beaten (past tense and passive form) .

Ahem....
But I also wanted to know when LOSER means:
1.Game over.
e.g. Love affair is game over.
2.You are worthless.
ex1. A girl decides to end their love affairs with her rich/poor boyfriend.
ex2. A boy cannot protect his girlfriend while a gangster is interrrupting their date.
In those 3 cases, how to express LOSER in Japanese language?
Thank you for your reply.
