Need a word or phrase translated?

[Alish]

Hi.
What's the difference between
行くことができない
and
行けない
?

 

[Toritoribe]

Those are the same. The former might sound a little bit formal than the latter.

 

[letianchen]

is there a structure for nasai ja nai to ?

今すぐイチャイチャをやめて別けれなさいじゃないとタイホしちゃうぞ
or do i break it up as nasai(a command), ja nai to

If you don't stop making out now and disperse , then(じゃないと) you are under arrest
or
Unless you stop making out and disperse, you are under arrest

 

[undrentide]

It's 別れなさい。じゃないと.
じゃないと=さもないと meaning "or", "otherwise"

Hello ! Can anyone help me with this phrase: " 私がそう作られたからじゃない" ?
Thank you

 

[Toritoribe]

I guess it's probably because I was made to be so.

 

[kazuchii]

What is the context? (It can have multiple meanings.)

It was background noise in a comic, so I am not sure of the context. I believe I transcribed it right...

It refers to Mikoto, who is a rather...apathetic character?

I am not sure if this helps...

 

[Toritoribe]

やつ doesn't always refer to a person. It can be thing or event. The sentence seems to mean "Mikoto, you shouldn't do that" or along the line.

Can someone translate the SFX shown in the following image?

If more than one meaning is possible, please list them all. Thanks!

 

[Toritoribe]

Or rather, I mean, Instead or something along the line.

It's impossible to "list them all", since the nuance of the phrase differs depending on the situation. You should give us the context if you want to know the appropriate one. In fact, the initial translation was completely different from the correct one in your previous question, right?

Umm... This question has nothing to do with my last question a few days ago. I'm not even on the same manga anymore. Anyway, here's the context:

The scene takes place at a crowded amusement park. A man has become angry with another man when he sees him with his arm around a woman, who happens to be the daughter of a Yakuza. The SFX occurs in a panel near the jealous man, who is well-built.

I hope that's detailed enough.

 

[Toritoribe]

I mean how crucial the context is in translating a phrase/sentence especially in Japanese which is a context-driven language, as you must be aware of in your previous question.

Is there only one phrase つか there? Are there any other phrases next to it?

Oh, ok. Sorry, I do realize that context is important, but I figured that the SFX would have no more than like 4 meanings. Anyway, I just reslized that I forgot a crucial piece of information. The men are bodyguards and the man is jealous because he thanks he could do a better job at guarding the woman.

There is no phrase near the SFX, although the SFX does occur twice. The last line before the SFX is: "It seems I need to have a word with him!" The manga has been translated, but the SFX hasn't.

 

[Toritoribe]

Ah, I see. Sorry, I misinterpreted the word "SFX". つかつか is an onomatopoeia to express a person is walking, often boldly, straight to the viewer/speaker. The single つか is mostly used especially for just one step.

 

[letianchen]

はじけ飛ぶほど笑い合えた日も
大切に育てていけるように
とぎれとぎれの時を越えて

I heard this in the song, how do I interpret this part?

No problem. And thanks!

我らの間に、国を越えた信頼と友情があらんことを

Could someone explain あらんこと here? あらん feels similar to ある, but feels somewhat more majestic. :?

Again (third or forth times?), you SHOULD give us the whole lyrics. 気持ちも and 日も are both the objects of 育てていける. Have you ever come across a phrase 気持ちを育てる?

我らの間に、国を越えた信頼と友情があらんことを

Could someone explain あらんこと here? あらん feels similar to ある, but feels somewhat more majestic. :?

ん is the n-euphonic change of a classical auxiliary verb む for presumption. It's close to あるであろうことを. (This might be needless to say, 望む is omitted at the end of the sentence.)

気持ちを育てる = bottle up feelings?

 

[Toritoribe]

That's almost contrary to the nuance the verb 育てる has.

 

[SomeCallMeChris]

"SFX". / onomatopoeia

For what it's worth, SFX is a creative abbreviation of 'special effects', and in the context of manga means onomatopoeia written into the action, not the dialogue. (However, since dialogue sometimes occurs outside of bubbles, learners do sometimes mistake dialogue 'asides' for onomatopoeia, or vice versa.)

 

[Yzlot]

Thanks Toritoribe! You're the best. And I was actually contemplating whether 望む was the omitted portion, but now it's confirmed.

@letian, I think 気持ちを育てる = to nurture one's feelings

 

[letianchen]

Alright, thanks.

 

[Yaranaika]

Hi guys! Can anybody help me translate it this in Japanese? ''I will be very glad to help you learn Greek (language) and I will also be very glad if you assist me with my Japanese.''

 

[Toritoribe]

What is the relation between you and the addressee? Do you want to say it in polite form or casual form? The translation differs depending on these and some other factors.
