Probably it is the latter ((I (or someone) wasn't able to go))."行けなかったのですー(/ _ ; )体調悪くて。。!"
The translation that I got for that was "Things did not go well. I am currently in poor health." using JDIC
Either that or.. "I did not go. I was sick."
If the first is correct....
How do I say: "That sucks, I hope you feel better soon."
or "Hope you're feeling better now."
Ah, thanks! That helps. Had a feeling is was some form of dekiru...The ず is the continuative form of the auxiliary verb ぬ, which is used to negate a verb.
できず = できなくて
Would it be possible to tranlates a simple procelain Mark?Need a word or phrase translated? Feel free to ask.
Many bilingual people on this forum would be more than happy to help beginners with questions about Japanese vocabulary. Even grammar questions.
What word or phrase would anyone like translated into Japanese or English?
教育を行う means "to provide education", or it's a verb from the point of view of the teacher's/school's side. Thus, the subject is not "students" but "we=暁星学園".Basically, I'm confused as to which part(s) of the sentence つつ modifies...
暁星学園に学ぶ生徒たちが、神の声を聞き、真理の光に 導かれて、自己実現の道を力強く歩むことを願いつつ、 教育を行っています。
Is it saying: Students...have an education while wishing to hear the voice of the Lord, to be led by the light of truth, and to vigorously walk the path of self-actualization.
or is it saying: Students...hear the voice of the Lord, are led by the light of truth, and have an education while vigorously walking the path of self-actualization.
I'm also having difficulty understanding this statement about the 通勤地獄 that Tokyo is:
常識では考えられないような密度で人間を箱に詰め込んで、一時間以上にわたって運ぶという非常識なことをやらざるを得ない。
I understand the first half to mean "People are crammed into boxes so tightly that it's unimaginable by common sense" but I don't understand how "hakobu" fits into this statement...
The key word is 最近. 減っていった is hardly used with 最近.最近、たばこを吸う人の数はだんだん.... 減っていった or 減ってきた? What is the difference and which is correct to complete the sentence? I'm so confused!
Yeah, だけでも acts an emphasized version of だけで.だけでも, is this like "if you just..." or "even if you just..." depending on the context? The sentence I'm seeing this in is:
ちょっと山のほうに行くだけでも、ここよりずっとよく見えるぞ
Something like "if you just go towards (the) hill, you will see (the stars in this case) much more better" ?
Omit "http://" from the URL, then you can post it.Would it be possible to tranlates a simple procelain Mark?
If so please let me know, also please tell me which way is up!...LOL
I guess I can't put a link here so please let me know how to get someone an image....
Thanks!

It's 九谷[Kutani], a well-known Japanese porcelain ware.DUH!...why didn't I think of that.....
Thank You for your response!
Daniel
The left mark would be 木山[Kiyama], or could be 山木[Yamaki]. Anyway, the picture is turned upside down.THANK YOU!
Your the best......
These marks have plagued me for years, the sad part is my wife's step father is full blood Japanese and her brother and sisters half and not even his parents know the language...LOL
I hate to take advantage of your kindness but could you look at two more at the same link?
I'm desperate and these are the only ones left...... The top of one shows a circle with a cross in it, that is the Shimazu family crest, but that's all I have been able to find....
Not only grammatically fractured in Japanese but an explicit subject in English would also sound awkward or unnatural...教育を行う means "to provide education", or it's a verb from the point of view of the teacher's/school's side. Thus, the subject is not "students" but "we=暁星学園".
It's the same for the second example. The subjects of 詰め込む, 運ぶ and やらざるを得ない are all the railroad company.
原文の大意を崩さずにその"自然な"英訳を作るのが、バイトとはいえ翻訳者を目指すOPのまさに目標なのでは?学習者の貴重な学習機会を奪わなくてもいいでしょう。Not only grammatically fractured in Japanese but an explicit subject in English would also sound awkward or unnatural...
何か日本語にしてほしいのであれば、原文を英語で送ってください。
You have the kanji wrong:I'm attempting to translate a song right now.
I understand that songs don't always follow proper grammatical structures, but I am absolutely stumped as to what this means:
似ても日なる
This is the lyric. Can someone help me figure out what it means?

Isn't B sitting properly or "Japanese style" as below?So, this phrase 足も早く崩す
-------------
Person A: "足も早く崩す" "Quickly break a leg" (Does this phrase work the same way as in English where "Break a leg" can mean "Good luck"?)
It's not しこまってる but "何/かしこまってる".I'm also not sure how to translate 何かしこまってる
-------------
Person A:"何かしこまってるか" (I'm not sure what しこまってる is. I tried looking it up, but didn't find much, the only thing I found was 四顧)
足を崩す means "to stop sitting properly and stretch one's legs out (to make oneself comfortable)".
It's not しこまってる but "何/かしこまってる".
かしこまる: to stand on ceremony
Thus, A said "Stop being stiff, relax" in the two lines.
The person's soul/spirit must be proud of their honor.I'm translating this sentence:
自分の栄誉をこの者の魂は誇りに思うはずですわ。
So, my attempt:
Due to that, the soul of this person is proud of his own honour.
Which means nothing...
Forgive me. Although I tried mocking/making fun of you...Then, I have :
許してくれ,あなたをからかってみただけだ
I don't know where to "cut".
The first part, I think, is: 許してくれ: I give you my permission. Then...
Context: the woman wants to write her will before giving her life to the man she loves. So he tells her that.
Thanks for your help ^^
