This is impossible to translate correctly without more information. My first question was,Tsukichi said:I have a phrase that I have no idea how to translate.
今日は送らないよ。
I'm really not sure how 送らない (okuranai) is translated when used in this context.
The "-yone" has already been discussed by others, so I'll get to what that person just wanted to say. Considering that you were playing an online game, he (assuming it's a he) was well aware that most people must be sleeping by that time, so he was hesitant to ask to play. He wasn't sure himself and was sort of asking himself and anybody who would hear him.Sanglant said:That's what was odd to me, I was minding my own business and the conversation was started by a person I'd never met or seen before that went:
Him: ねてますよね
Me: 今忙しいので、後にしてください
Him: レベル上げなんてもういきませんよね
My Japanese is, obviously, extremely basic so when he sent the first line I could read it but had no clue as to the meaning.
My response was FFXI's auto-translation of "I'm sorry, I have plans." (this is my "I don't have a clue" safe response ^^) which, now that I see what it actually outputs to a Japanese client, looks more like "I'm busy now so, after I do this please".
After a few minutes he sent me the last line at which point I was so confused I gave up. I'm starting to think perhaps he sent the messages to the wrong person since there's several players with names similar to mine. If that happened the "stop raising the level" translation might make sense since I wouldn't know the rest of the context.
How does ねてますよね become "You're sleeping, aren't you"? I just discovered ます as a verb instead of a suffix...is that the form being used here?
Although GP-san's idea may be right, it can also mean "I won't drive/walk/take you home today."Tsukichi said:I have a phrase that I have no idea how to translate.

So, if someone could help me out, I'd be really grateful.

It's another example of context-dependent use.
Tsukichi said:I think your guess is accurate. Sorry about not giving the context, I'll be sure to do so in the future. The context, however, was a guy having to leave a girl having just kissed her.
ご ごめん ユウリ
今日は送らないよ。
キメ台詞やまほど考えてきたけどやっぱりてれくさいや。
is what he says, and then bids her adieu.
-Thanks!!!
Unfortunately, you're a bit off. What's being described here is someone waving one's hands angrily as if to hurry someone (tell someone to hurry up).crunch said:急かすようにプンプンと手を振ってくる - Would this translate roughly to 'You need to hurry in order to wave off the smell (or anger?)'. Kind of unsure and a double check would be much appreciated.
It's part of the Flash animation on the home page. Thanks.Buntaro said:What is the URL to the graphic?
In the end I did four laps (周) ? times around the pool ?sfd said:I'm having trouble translating today's hiragana blog:
ぷーるにいきまいした。
さいごに４しゅうしました。
さいしょは、ばたふらいでつぎがせおよぎで、つぎがひらおよぎでさいごがくろーるです。
４しゅうもおよいですごくつかれました。
ぜんぶのおよぎをおよぎました
The first says I went to the pool right?
The rest I don't understand.
Is the last one something like: " I swam everything I had to swim"?
Could someone give a hand?
Thanks.
Ahh thanks I got now, the words for the swimming styles messed me up hehe.Elizabeth said:In the end I did four laps (周) ? times around the pool ?
The first time I did the butterfly, next time the back stroke, next time the breaststroke, and finally the crawl.
I'm extremely tired from swimming those four rounds.
I swam all the swimming (styles ?).
Hope this helps at least a little ! :-
この訳で問題ないと思いますよ。sfd said:Ahh thanks I got now, the words for the swimming styles messed me up hehe.
Yes, thank you. I had only heard 往復 in that context as well, which was why I was confused -- but assuming this was written by a native speaker :?studyonline said:It's obvious that the Japanese sentence has a mistake. 周 is not an suitable word to use there. Unless the shape of the pool is round, but I doubt that.
ラップ can be used. Otherwise 往復.
On second thought, I'm thinking it may have been more like an oval training/workout "marathon pool" in the shape of a track field ....if such places exist. We'll never know for sure now...studyonline said:It's obvious that the Japanese sentence has a mistake. 周 is not an suitable word to use there.
