Need a word or phrase translated?

[Kurui]

Ah, "chi" + "me" is a good idea. Although 血眼 is usually read as a compound word "chimanako".;-)

There are so many homonyms in Japanese. "Chi" can mean earth, knowledge, thousand, etc. other than blood. The meaning is determined by kanji.

I see. 'Thousand Moons' would sound pretty amazing, although I'm pretty sure most would read it as Blood Moon, which sounds a bit too dark.

Would.... Chigotsuki (or chigo-tsuki) mean anything then? Go was another usable syllable in my word bank. Since Chime seems to not be valid unless it is used in the compound Chimanako. I know Ichigo is 'Strawberry' if I remember right. But not sure about Chigo.

What I can use is:
Chi
Me
Go
Tsuki
and Sumi (I think like the ink paintings).

Really in a predicament, ya? >:

"Chigo" would be usually interpreted as 稚児; a baby, child, a boy who works in a temple/shrine/noble's house, a child who takes part in a festive. "Chigotuki" sounds like "a month of baby/child", "the one who is accompanied by an attendant boy" or "a class/place that is accompanied by an attendant boy" to me.

i'm having trouble with the following:
いくら性能のよい超能力技があったとしても
i'm mostly confused by the use of "to suru" after atta.

 

[Toritoribe]

～とする is a structure for hypothesis, and ～としても is a conditional; "even if (you had/I had/there were high-powered supernatural skills)".

Hey!
Im new to this forums, I assumed, that a lot of people knows japanese here, so I thought, that this is the best place to find a person who could translate text from image below, I just need essencial meaning from it, nothing more:

I will be grateful.

 

[kunonabi]

tThanks for he help. I've just run into ラウンド関始時. I think it has something to do with the opening of the round but my dictionaries don't recognize any combination of these kanji.

 

[nekojita]

Think it's probably 開 rather than 関, in which case 開始時 is just "opening/start time" as you already guessed.

Is this a typo where the author couldn't decide between 変えられる and 変えられます? If not, it's the first time I've encountered something like this, to me it doesn't make sense. Sorry for a possibly stupid question but I can't archive texts for future reference and study unless I first confirm there's no error. And if there is, I correct it.

"まいります" and "うけてみろ" or something like that.

Seems to be a fave for Ninjas. What are they, and what do they mean? I can't find any information for them online so...
よろしくお願いします！

A coincidence???

Yes, you are correct. That's a typo.

まいる is a humble verb for 行く.
～てみる means "to try doing".

 

[mjcbento]

Hi,
can you translate this please??

 

[nekojita]

That's Chinese, not Japanese.

 

[Toritoribe]

It seems like those are all proper nouns; the names of place(e.g. Shanghai), company or person. The one in the right picture means "Portugal".

 

[Macrobiotic]

The ところ here, would it be similar to the one in こんなところでしょう and such, kind of like a "this is where we stand/this is the current situation/here's the deal" etc? Or is it with an "about to do" meaning which can be the case after present form verb? Although 思う is here a present form verb, I still feel a "this is how it is" meaning makes more sense in this case. Are there situations where present form verb + ところ really does not have an "on the verge of" meaning?

今だったら、辞書をコピーするだけでも大変だと思うところですが･･････。

Thanks
And are there a name of any company?
I would like to know the company....
thanks

That's "situation", not "to be about to do". 思う can't be used BEFORE you actually think of/about something, i.e., you can hardly say もうすぐ思う. Thus, 思うところだ CAN'T mean "to be about to think". Although it can be used for a contrary-to-fact in the past "was about to do", for instance, （あやうく/もう少しで）辞書をコピーするだけでも大変だと思うところでした(but actually I didn't think so).

And are there a name of any company?
I would like to know the company....

聿之励有限公司 and 黄浦大宗

These are Chinese, as already pointed out, so I can't transliterate these names to English.

 

[Macrobiotic]

Thanks for explaining that, this information makes it a lot easier to interpret these instances correctly.

この世界、ぶっ壊れろと。 Its from 壊れる- but what is ーろと?

 

[Toritoribe]

imperative 壊れろ + quoting particle と

 

[MrKanister]

Can anyone please tell me what "どおっこいしょっと..." means?

Someone says this in a story I'm reading. The male protagonist says this after running and getting into a train and saying "Somehow, I managed to board train..."
I couldn't find anything helpful about "どおっこいしょっと", but I'm guessing it's supposed to express effort/strain, kinda like よいしょ.

What do you think?
And thanks in advance again.

 

[nekojita]

Look in the dictionary for どっこいしょ, but yes, it's similar to よいしょ.

 

[Macrobiotic]

I think this is supposed to be sarcasm but I don't get it. It's another case where I have difficulties with potential VS passive verb. "(I) can't be saying" or "It cannot be said to be (such a luxury)" or something. I would be thankful for a rough translation.

今日は、明るい青空に白い雲が浮かんでいます。
風は結構冷たいのですが、そんな贅沢を言っていられません（笑）。

Another thing I don't understand. The final row here, posting the entire text so the context is clear.

ところが、子供もお父さんも、「やってね」と言われたことは抵抗なくできますが、「（やるのが当然だから）やってね」と言われたことは、意地でもやりたくなくなります。

そこで、親子げんかが（笑）。

あるいは夫婦げんかが（爆笑）。

人間って大変ですね。（とひとごとみたいに）

Didn't he say it when he was about to sit on a seat or set down his baggage?

言っていられる is ALWAYS potential. The passive of 言っている is 言われている.

Hello,

I'm first time on this forum, and I have a language question. I have this old postcard, with Japanese caligraphy and was wondering for a long time what it says. Can You please help me with this?



all the best to You,

AgaZet

 

[masaegu]

It says 甚だ残念ながら, which means "I am terribly sorry to announce that ~~~".
