In need of assistance in translating a short sentence

[coffeeholic]

I have some trouble in translating this sentence:
サラにもない？ (The 「サラ」is a name)
I understand the use of もない in なんでもない as 'it's nothing', but what does もない means here when it is placed after a subject?

and I have one more question, I read a conversation that I don't quite understand:
A: 今は幸せ。
B: (今は、って......)
what does B is trying to say? Is it correct if I translate is as he's saying (but you said only 'just now'.....) ?

Thank you very much for your time.

 

[Toritoribe]

That's not もない, but "も + ない". も means "too/also("either" in a negative sentence)".
I don't know the context, so I can't say if your interpretation that サラ is the subject is correct or not.

は can be a contrastive marker. A might just say A is happy now, but B interprets A was not happy before.

Thank you for your help For the first question, the conversation goes like this.

A: だから気にしないで。
B: でも....
A: Bにもない？

A was saying B's name before the word もない so I assumed it came after a subject. Is this incorrect? I don't quite understand the use of もない in the sentence.

What is the context? What are they talking about? The conversation you quoted doesn't contain what I wanted to know.

に usually doesn't indicate the subject. There are some exceptions, though.

So sorry, here's the conversation.
A: そう簡単に泣いたりしないよ。男の子だから。
この前の涙に意味はないんだ 。だから気にしないで。
B: でも....
A: Bにもない？
Is this enough? The story was B saw A crying awhile ago, and in this conversation A was trying to give an explanation about it to B. What does the もない refer to?

 

[Toritoribe]

What did A say after "Bにもない？"?

 

[coffeeholic]

Here's the conversation that came after it.

A: Bにもない？急に悲しく感じていた。涙が出てきた。
B: Aは悲しくて？

I'm so sorry for bringing you trouble.

 

[Toritoribe]

No need to apologize, but your quotation still doesn't make much sense. I googled and found this.

A: Bにもない？急にわけもなく悲しくなって、涙が出たりすること
B: Aさん、悲しいの？

This makes perfect sense. A's words "Bにもない？急にわけもなく悲しくなって、涙が出たりすること" is an inversion. A actually said 急にわけもなく悲しくなって、涙が出たりすること、Bにもない？

 

[coffeeholic]

Oh, I'm sorry. I quoted it from memory so I I must have been mistaken.
So, is it correct if I translate 'Bにもない？' as A asking B that he must have experience something like this too?

Thank you so so very much Toritoribe! You have been such a tremendous help ヽ(；▽；)ノ

 

[Toritoribe]

Yes, that's right. But isn't it "A is asking B if she, too, has experienced~"? I presume B is a woman.

 

[coffeeholic]

yes, you are absolutely correct, B is a woman ^^ Thank you again Toritoribe! I can't thank you enough for your help~ ^^
