Need a word or phrase translated?

[Toritoribe]

I don't know the context behind the scene, but it would be 1) the girl said it to herself, 2) she expected someone were in the bathroom or 3) that's not her words but the author's words to the readers.

Do not post NSFW images here. If you really must, host it off-site and link with a very clear warning about the content.

He is irked he has to go buy カビ取り again

(You got hung on that but not こないだ ? I would have expected that more likely to give trouble).

 

[letianchen]

カビ取り is a word? I know from before that kabi means mold right, this made me think torikau was a verb but I couldnt find it in the idctionary. what is カビ取り？ And no I can understand the こないだ part

 

[Toritoribe]

カビ取り
カビ取り - Google 検索

取り is the noun usage of the -masu stem of 取る.

Thank you. It makes sense now.

It does sound "old" and from the 死ねない I get the mores soon this is some character who for some reason physically can not be killed. Perhaps addressing the reader in his "natural" (old) speech but interacting with other characters in the speech of their own era. Is there a character like that?

It isn't particularly hard to avoid using pronouns in Japanese. I practically never use second or third person pronouns, and avoiding even first person isn't uncommon.

Thank you for your reply! Yes, that 死ねない bothered me too. There isn't any undead or immortal character in the story itself. The original story has a lot of weird characters, but I can't think of anyone who would actually fit here...
Hm, looks like I'll have to investigate it a bit more. ^^ Thanks anyway!

Hi, I was reading this article and came across this part:
このアルバムはONE OK ROCKならではのエモさはそのままに、シリアスさがグッと増していますよね。狙いを定めて一発で撃ち抜くような集中力を強く感じます。
I don't really understand the red part, can someone please translate?

 

[Toritoribe]

What part don't you understand specifically? Can you get エモさ, by the way? (I've never seen this word before...)

The article's about a band whose music style includes emo, so I assume that エモさ was referring to that. I was just confused by the word グッと. I have no idea what it means, especially in the context of the sentence.

 

[Toritoribe]

ぐっと
3 〔一段と〕⇒ぐん(と)
あなたは赤を着るとぐっと引き立つ
You look much [even] better in red.
交通事故が今年はぐっと減りました
Traffic accidents have decreased remarkably this year.

I see, so it's like an emphasis basically. Thanks for your help!

Hi, can someone tell me if this is correct, and if not where adjustments need to be made?

That doesn't make sense at all, I'm afraid. For instance, を indicates the object, nevertheless 得られます is not the object of 与えられる. In the first place, the original English sentence is actually a compound sentence "Respect is not given, but respect is earned."

How do you best think I can phrase that quote from English to Japanese. I did attempt but it seems it was not right :emoji_frowning2:

Hello I heard this in a drama

非道徳的な内容にもかかわらず、絶賛を浴びた彼女の作品をよんで
.しょうにかすりもしなっかた文芸部の私は、黒羽さんに嫉妬を感じました

is shou 賞 here? Also I dont get what kasuri is, I dont really get what what shou ni kasuri mo shinakatta ~~ is really trying to say, if anyone can help me out.

 

[Mike Cash]

かすり is probably the noun form of かする and the usage here is probably figurative. Look at it again with that in mind.

Would this work? 尊敬は勝ち得られますが、与えられません。

Would this work? 尊敬は得られますが、与えられません。

I would try to work 努力 in there somewhere for more clarity.

Yeah, I changed a few seconds before you replied. Thought 勝ち得られます would work better.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to give me the correct translation for the word: Neptune. (planet)

I came across two translations: かいおうせい and 海王星. I'm not sure which one is correct, or which one to use.

Many thanks.

They're both the same. The first one is phonetic. The second one is for tattoos.

 

[Brunom1]

Edit: Whoops. Mike beat me to it.

 

[letianchen]

かすり is probably the noun form of かする and the usage here is probably figurative. Look at it again with that in mind.

かする３ 擦る
graze
brush past something
scrape 《the door》

as given by the dictionary. Given by the context does it mean that the speaker didnt want the prize and yet was still jealous of her? Well thats the impression I get just reading the whole sentence and watching the drama im still unsure at to what the literal meaning is here.
