Do you have any context ? Based on this, From the time of noon....is my best guess.Fuumei;452744 said:Just a short question here, if I may.
そして、「午」の刻より前は午前、「午」の刻より後は午後というわけです。
The thing that confuses me here in this sentence is the "の刻より前は" portions. Yori is used strangely here, at least to me. As a literal translation for "yori mae" I can't seem to wiggle my way into the meaning. Thanks to the brave soul who decides to give this a shot. I appreciate it.

I'm sorry if I misunderstand the point of your question and my late post.Yori is used strangely here, at least to me.
より used to indicate "from" I've usually seen used in the context of a person as the source giving something over, such as a gift. I assumed in that sense it was only more formal than から。I'm sorry if I misunderstand the point of your question and my late post.
より specify base(reference) point.
から specify starting point.
because より can be used for comparison and "from".
白より黒がいい
Black is better than white.
白線より内側に入らないでください
Don't go into the inside from the white line.
if end point is indicated clearly, から is more natural than より.
東京から京都へ行きたい
I want to go to Kyoto from Tokyo.
東京より京都へ行きたい。
I want to go to Kyoto than Tokyo.(not "from")
1から100まで
From 1 to 100
1より100まで
(not natural)
In your case, It can be said base point rather than starting point, uses より.
Kevin,I need the following translated:
さざえさん一家のお話です。
サザエさん一家はとても仲良しのほのぼのしたアニメです。
Nozomi says:
この歌は、その仲良し家族を皆極悪な人の設定で作ったものです。
Nozomi says:
元々のテーマソングを元に作ってあるので、元々の歌も聞いてみたらどうですか？？

英語難しすぎ・・・・・・
Hehe. Be patient with me too. It's all I have time for now, but anyway here's one of what you were looking for that I could understand for sure....Eh... I need help translating some things for a song, because I'm only just starting to learn to put sentences together in Japanese, so I cant do it on my own. I know sentence structure quite well, but things like verbs and past an present and snuff like that, I've yet to master...
Anyways, I know all of the following(an prementioned) sounds like complete and utter jibberish, but bear with me here. I'm trying to piece it together mostly on my own, but a few things I need are hard to translate on my own... so here (and don't laugh at me for my stupid lyrical ideas, and keep in mind they aren't all being translated just for me, I have weird friends...):
血まみれの手を隠す。1. I hide my blood stained hands
Can you be more specific what you mean by disgusted ?2. Dont look so disgusted.
Do you mean as in a thing that was given or a wish that was desired ?3. This is what you wanted.
Doushite tokidoki otagai ni (otagai no kimochi wo) kizu tsukeru (koto ga aru) no ?Why do we sometimes hurt one another?
Yes, you are right. より used to formal, stiff and literary style writing.より used to indicate "from" I've usually seen used in the context of a person as the source giving something over, such as a gift. I assumed in that sense it was only more formal than から。
私たちはこのショーをとても楽しみにしています。how do you say, "We will have a lot of fun in this show!"
You're welcomeWow, that's more detailed than I've ever seen those explained before. Thanks, Debezo!
First off, domo arigato gozaimasu!Can you be more specific what you mean by disgusted ?
Do you mean as in a thing that was given or a wish that was desired ?
I remember an old topic about "～っす".
I forget which thread in this topic. and search bar isn't enabled...?
Debezo;453613 said:"～っす[ssu]" is a slanguish polite form by (体育会系) young mans. it has three advantages.
1. です／ますの使い分けの省略(unification of desu,masu)
思うっす[omoussu](masu for verb)
欲しいっす[hosiissu]（desu for adjective)
京都っす[Kyouto ssu]（desu for noun)
2. 活用形の省略(omit to conjugation)
行く -> 行きます -> 行くっす[ikussu]
食べる -> 食べます -> 食べるっす[taberussu]
する -> します -> するっす[surussu]
3.丁寧さと親しみの両方を兼ねる(politeness+friendly)
This expression is rudeness for old generation.
However, young generation too feel stiff to the correct polite speaking.
"～っす" has a bit of politeness and a bit of friendly for young generation.
It's so easy for busy young mans.
hope your help...
This "de" does not mean "and" or "because" here.いい気持ちになったところでビールを飲むのだから、美味しい訳である。
The "de" after tokoro is functioning as a "because" and not "and" as the -te form of "desu" (de) correct? I don't suppose it would make much sense if it were the latter.
This "de" does not mean "and" or "because" here.
It's a particle "de", not te-form of "desu".
It explain the situation when a event takes place (in your sentence "to drink beer").
Hope this makes sense.
おもしろですね。私達が住んでいる現代に入ってから、時間のことを考えずに生活するなんて暇つぶしで、時間を充分に利用するのに時計は必要だと思います。でも、確かに、それは比較的、現代的な考え方ですね。Glenn;452755 said:I'm pretty sure Elizabeth is 100% accurate. This reminds me of something we read for class last year called 時計をはずして that talked about Japan's old way of marking time, among other things.
