そんなガキみてぇなこと言ってるようじゃ期待期待でき ねぇよ

[letianchen]

I think the miteena = mitai na

A:そんなガキみてぇなこと言ってるようじゃ期待できねぇよ
Hmm, how do I piece this together.
"I can't expect you to keep saying childish things"
however from context it seems
"I can't expect anything from you if you say childish things (like that)"
B:何がだ。。 This lines ok

A: そんなちっぽけなもん相手にしてるようじゃ到底敵いっこないって言ってんだよ

そんなちっぽけなもん = Insignificant things (like that)

相手にしてる in this context mabye "go along with"?

what about the verb 敵う here what does it mean?

Your second guess is right.

It's not 者 here? 相手にしてる is to compete/fight with someone probably -- 相手：対抗して勝負を争う人. 敵う would be "compete with/keep up with/etc."

 

[letianchen]

Yes.

I finally gave in and looked to the english translation

そんなちっぽけなもん相手にしてるようじゃ到底敵いっこないって言ってんだよ = I'm saying that if you make such a small fry your enemy, its not much of a match.

Hmm the enemy part comes from 相手 it seems and the small fry from ちっぽけ makes sense.
到底敵いっこないって = not much of a match ?

 

[Glenn]

"Can hardly be a match" or something like that.

 

[letianchen]

lmao I looked at the next page and got scared. monkey giant :S

 

[letianchen]

Going to revive this, so how would

そんなガキみてぇなこと言ってるようじゃ期待できねぇよ be reworded to say "I can't expect you to keep saying childish things"

rather than "expecting anything FROM you", I still dont get this.

 

[Yzlot]

Hmm....that's a very good question. Maybe this is the only change that's needed.

そんなガキみてぇなこと言ってるようと期待できねぇよ

I'll need someone else to verify though.

 

[letianchen]

Hmm can you explain your reasoning?

言ってるようじゃ is a conditional cause. It's not the object of 期待できない. The form should be 言うのを/は期待できない for the case.

Also, it's worth noting that ～ようでは (which I think is JLPT 2 grammar) means something along the lines of "if... (some bad thing will happen)." It's used in cases of warnings and such because of this.
