Need a word or phrase translated?

No interruption at all ! いつ来ても歓迎します。:)

-Edit-

As it turns out, I was able to find some help with this particular question. Sorry to be a bother, folks. Thanks so much! (Please feel free to delete this post if you'd like)

私の英語表現は上手ではありませんので、失礼があったらお許しください。
 
What does this mean?
なんのつもりだ?俺は気配など、さとられんぞ。

言外の意を悟る

Then is this correct:
俺は気配など、悟られんぞ = you won't/ can't perceive a thing such as my presence ???
 
Basically yes. I would translate "to perceive my presence" since など just emphasizes the meaning here.

など【等】
3 〔強調〕
私は決してうそなどつきません
I never lie.
そんな男のことなど知らないね
I know nothing about 「such a man [any such man].
君に先生などやれるかい
Can you really be a teacher?

Hello there!

This one comes from Yotsubato. Her dad is explaning what お見舞 means by talking about the last time they visited her granfather in the hospital, and this is her reply:

みんな くろいふくきて このたびわ このたびわってやつ?

I'm not sure what the meaning of わ here is though, or is it just a 終助詞 in the middle of the sentence here?
 
It's just a phonetic rendition of は (I guess since the speaker is a child). "このたびはご愁傷様でございます" or similar are set phrases used at funerals.
 
1 question/confirmation if someone can spare some time.

「ただ、あなたたちは今日この街へ戻ってきてくれた。私たちに対して『自分は生きている』ってその存在を示してくれてわ。」

I'm wondering about に対して here. I'm aware that there are a few usages for this, but the only one that makes sense to me here is "(1)二つの物が向かい合う。あるものに向かう。 「川を挟んで―・する山」「主に―・して太刀をぬく/平家 11」", meaning "faced us/turned toward us and said..." in this context. Can anyone confirm or tell me if it's some different usage in this case?

Thanks!
I got another one:

いい男 : そんな物を出して怪我をするのは、そっちの方だぞ。
悪人 : こねえ(来ない)ならこっちから行くぞ!

Ok the hero says to put down the weapons...
but what's the meaning of antagonist's reply?

Hey there.

I don't seem to be getting the joke going on here on this page of Youkai Apaato. Is there something behind this follow-up of 「因縁」、「運命」and 「オトシマエ」?

人類の心は複雑ので, 私はそれらをさらに勉強します

I am not sure because I'm not really that great at the sentence construction. However Does this sentence mean (Humanity's minds are complex, Thus I will study them further.)

因縁 and 運命 have a similar meaning "fate/destiny", but 因縁 also means "pretext of quarrel/fight" especially in a set phrase 因縁をつける "to pick a quarrel with~". This phrase often represents yakuza's threats. 落とし前をつける means "to solve those kind of problem". If a yakuza says 落とし前をつけろ to people in general, it means "Pay money", and when used among yakuzas, it's "Chop off your finger". The girls are talking about these issues.

Where did you read that sentence? (I mean, that's grammatically wrong.)
