～んばかり, colloquial solution?

[Rei Yahya]

こんにちわ、私はタイキムの文法のガイドを勉強してき ましたで、小さな問題がありますよ。
(what I tried to express: Hello, I have been studying Tae Kim's grammar guide, and I have a small problem.)

I learned how to say 'as if ~'.

「あんたの料理好きじゃない」と言わんばかりに彼女は お皿を押しやった。She pushed her plate away as if to say 'I don't like your dish.'

It was noted that this construction is only used in written form, and is rare to hear in conversation. What is the conversational way to get this same 'as if' feeling across? よろしく！

 

[Toritoribe]

The objective description in the example sentence is not conversational in the first place. Are you looking for the way to explain the situation to someone else just as in the example sentence or the description on the view point of the person just in the situation?

 

[Rei Yahya]

It would be explaining the situation to someone else.

テイ・キム or テ・キム is more appropriate for Tae Kim.

...while my name is Tae Kyong Kim in English, the "k" sound in Korean is closer to a hard "g". So I decided on 「ギョン」 for my middle name. However, "Kim" is a very common name in Japanese and is written as 「キム」. Also, in Korean, there is no middle name so my actual name is TaeKyong. So while my full name is 「キム・テギョン」, I use Tae among friends. But 「テ」 is a bit too short so I go by 「テイ」, which is closer to the English pronunciation.

(I recommend not to use sentence final particles until you grasp the meaning completely.)


I would use the expressions below for that specific example "as if to say". This doesn't mean that "as if" can be always traslated to these structures.

とでも言いそうな勢いで
って言いたそうな感じで
って言ってるみたいな感じで
って言ってそうな感じで

Hello, I've got a question, please:

What 勉強してるん means? I know 勉強する means to study but I can't find a translation for 勉強してるん. Could you please show me the translation?

Thank you very very much.

勉強してる(the contraction of 勉強している) + the explanatory の/ん

Thank you... I haven't reached grammar that far.
