I'm not completely confident, so all I will venture to piece together is that "I wonder if Takeshi inadvertently expressed his true feelings because he was in such a good mood." :? Why the question mark ?beretta627;421227 said:Hey guys, can you please translate this one for me please? Thank you so much!

If I could get to the reason why I was no more aware what to do,
then that would enable me to do something.
But I could not know at all, what went wrong,
so the story did not go anymore.
Ach, mein englisch ist so schlimm, nein, my english is so bad.

"I think I failed to look for the lithograph somewhere, but all my ideas were mostly right, and I'm certain I did everything I could think of."
That's my attempt without any knowledge of the context. Does it help at all?
Maybe because they are supposed to be ambiguous, but 一応 and つもり are still the most annoyingly hardest parts here.Niedy;422159 said:me again... the book again... she is still talking about being stuck in a game...

I am sure you pretty well know that Japanese evade displaying 100% confidence in declaring facts and opinions, stemming from the sense of humility that is upheld as virtue.Elizabeth;422474 said:Maybe because they are supposed to be ambiguous, but 一応 and つもり are still the most annoyingly hardest parts here.一応 is closest to saying "everywhere I could think of, at least for now, I think I have somehow managed to check ?" Or it could be inserted as a softener without any particular meaning ? つもり is like I did what I could think of sufficiently, although I'm still a bit unsure...perhaps there was something left undone ?? ☺

I looked up some key words and found the following:
清道 seems to be pronounced "seidou", meaning "to purify the journey of the emperor (or someone/something of importance)". In case of 櫛田神社, a space on the left after you go through the 鳥居 (gate) into 境内 (within the shrine) is made 清道 during 山笠.
Hope it is of some help.

So, 一応 and つもり is very often added to allow for, say, 0.01% chance of error, even if one is very confident that what one thinks is true. I know ambiguity is something not appreciated by English speakers, but that's the way it is.
I don't like it but catch myself using it very often, too.
I've never seen it before, and the closest I could find in my 漢和辞典 (kanji dictionary) is 撹 and攪 (see attached image).Fehrant;422791 said:Anyone recognizes that kanji? I searched by radical, and stroke count to no avail. Hell, I even search Chinese only kanji, but I couldn't find it. Does anyone know meaning kun/onyomi of the kanji?
女 can be pronounced め (女神 めがみ for example) but I don't know when it can be something close to あ.Fehrant;422791 said:Also, the word 女, is there a way that it would somehow sound like あ, or perhaps a weird reading I'm not aware of?
