ありがとう。わかりました。それで。。。 どちらかといえば、男っぽい言い方ですね。☺And 惚れている, if used, is the word for matured men (or maybe women). It is often heard in the lyrics of Enka. If a young child says this, it will cause a laugh. A high school boy? Probably good!
Its for me... I wouldn't ask for "commercial" stuff here... ^^ I went to a job interview in a museum today... afterwards I thought about phrases I might need if I get the job... and now I wonder if I got any of those actually right...Niedy, is this for a business or for personal use? (It affects the answer greatly.)
These are all very fine. 大丈夫です。よくがんばりましたね！Ok, got a few phrases again... I tried to figure out the correct way of saying the indicated phrases in japanese.
hope someone can help
Thanks!
"Put your jackets here please."
上着はこちらへどうぞ。
"The admission fee is 7 euro."
チケットは７ユーロです。
"There are discounts for students and Vienna-Card Holders."
学生やウィーンカードをもっている方には割引があります。
"It's ok to take the handbag with you."
ハンドバッグを持ってもいいです。
Were you looking for something formal or a bit more casual ? If the former, K Young san's idea is good.Quick question!
What's the Japanese equivalent to "food for thought"?
Say, at the end of a speech (not really a speech, per se) that provokes people to think about certain issues (war, poverty, whatever you like!), you end it with something like "Some food for thought" or "以上はfood for thoughtです。" whether or not that'd be weird...
Not necessarily an equivalent, perhaps something with the same feel.

Scroll to the bottom until you arrive at #2, 3 in my possibly short but attempt to be distinguishing with ということ list.:
It's kind of like "cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye" in English.
When making promises, shaking hands with only your little finger makes the promise "more serious".
Don't give up on us yet...change of topic:
I just read a manga and came across the following:
お前次第...ってとこかな
and I really can't make anything of it... context is a lover's dispute...
sorry to ask again before even my last request has been answered but otherwise I'll probably just forget about it...
Anyway, the person is saying "I guess it's up to you" ってとこですね。
...ってとこ Means
With all respect to Elizabeth, I will also respond again.Ok, got a few phrases again... I tried to figure out the correct way of saying the indicated phrases in Japanese.

Sorry. I was in a big rush and didn't consider the final part, the 博物館の話.With all respect to Elizabeth, I will also respond again.
学生の方、または、ウィーンカードをお持ちの方には割引がございます。 maybe ??The first one is probably fine as it is.
The second one would be more accurate to use the word 入場料 (or to be more accurate for a museum 入館料) in place of チケット.
The third one would probably be better rendered as:
学生やウィーンカードのお持ちのお客様には割引があります。
I know there's a better way to say this yet, but I can't think of it off hand.
「かばん」といった方が無難でしょうね。
Is ってとこ a shortened form of something else? Now that I think about it, I think I have seen this before a lot but usually skip over it. How exactly do you use the phrase?
I think it is used for reporting facts and information that are largely believed, or range from probably almost certainly true, but can't be either personally verified or checked out at 100% accuracy.One more question. Again from an article about the recent shooting:
馬込容疑者は経済的に追い込まれた状況で、倉本さんへの思いも一方的だったとされる.
What exactly does the とされる here mean? I came across it in another passage in my current textbook:
アメリカ大陸はコロンブスが発見したとされている。
Does it mean something like: 'it is speculated that'? I know that to suru can be used to mean something like, 'let's suppose,' so is that what's happening here?
多分、「ってこと」は、「ということだ」を短くしたので俗語っぽいですね。
その文章によって使い方、意味はそれぞれ異なってきますよね。
I figured ってこと was probably ということ、but in the above posts it was written ってとこ。 Was that just a typing mistake, or have they come to be different informal versions of the same thing?
Honestly, I don't like using the word "waribiki" for this sentence. I personally like 優待料金 or something like that better, but I'm not entirely certain that would be used in "the wild", as prices are always clearly marked with the separate rates.学生の方、または、ウィーンカードをお持ちの方には割引がございます。 maybe ??
I personally prefer "kaban" but "handobaggu" does sound more stylish and chic, wouldn't you agree?「かばん」といった方が無難でしょうね。I think for the third one, it would help to know specifically what is meant in the English. Is it referring to the patron's personal item or rather to a bag which is given to them by the museum, for example? (I know how stupid that may sound, but I have learned never to take such things for granted.) Also, do you mean that it is OK to take the handbag into the museum or something else?
Don't give up on us yet...This one you probably know more than you realize, it only falls apart when too directly translated. Anyway, the person is saying "I guess it's up to you" ってとこですね。
お前 You
次第 Depends on/is up to
...ってとこ Means
かな I guess (not literally "I wonder" in this context...).
HTH!

In this case I would read it as "like" as in "you na"...Although maybe someone else can help me get the English to come out better...It's like it's up to you....☝ "I guess it's up to you" is still the flavor it gives out to me.I'm not giving up on you... I just felt bad for requesting so much in a short time...
so what does ~てとこ(ろ) actually mean? I couldn't find it in my grammar book...
thanks for the help
I know some people that have the image of "baggu" as a tall, stylish looking purse as well. So the whole situation is very confusing. Personally I never learned kaban as generic, or anything other than a briefcase or student bag and maybe totebag, etc.Honestly, I don't like using the word "waribiki" for this sentence. I personally like 優待料金 or something like that better, but I'm not entirely certain that would be used in "the wild", as prices are always clearly marked with the separate rates.

Does anyone know what this means?
