Hey all,

Can anyone tell me if this is correct? Is "juudai" japanese for "teenage".

Thanks!

Indeed. It's usually written 十代, 十 meaning "ten" and 代 "generation". It's the same "dai" as in "jidaigeki".

Oh, by the way, it's a name ("the teens"), not an adjective. Trying to translate "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" ? :lol:
