Need a word or phrase translated?

日本で、ニート生活をしながら一日中ネットしたり、漫画読んだりしてのんびりと、えー年しても働く気のないやつをあつめて、iphoneで警備員のバイトしながらでも一日中ねっとしたり、漫画読んだり、朝と晩を反対できたら時給１０００円ぐらい稼ぎながら一月１５万円でもニート生活をつづけて楽しめる事誰も気がつかんのが不思議やとおもうんや。吉野家で、キビキビ汗流さんかってらくちんで豊かに暮らす方向を教えるほうはないいんかねん。

Oh, I am just practicing my rough kansai language skills here, and I am aware I need some serious editing so please help me with it. I am still a beginner-intermediate level in Japanese.
 

Yes, this is very helpful. Thank you very much.

Though, for なんか納得いく仕上がりにならないっていうか I'm not sure I quite understand what's being said.
納得 - concent, understanding
仕上がり - to finish, to be done
ならない - cannot help doing
Is the character saying that they can't help but do it? Or that it's understood that their the one that always does it? I think I might be confusing myself more trying to work through it.
 
お上手なんですけど、文の繋がり具合が不明瞭なんで何を言いたいのかが結局のところよくわかりません。 :emoji_blush:あと「教えるほうはないいんかねん」は意味を成してないです。ひょっとして「教える方法はないんかいな」かな？
もうひとつ、この分量の日本語だと日本語の勉強セクションのほうがふさわしいかもしれませんね。;-)


納得（が）いく is a set phrase meaning "to be convinced/to make sense", and used adjectively "convincing/satisfying" here.
仕上がり is a noun usage "end result/finish".
ならない is a nagative form of the verb なる. This is the main verb of this clause.

なんか納得いく仕上がりにならないっていうか
(lit.) somehow (the cookies) don't become a satisfying end result = somehow I am not satisfied with the end result (of the cookies)

BTW, I think this is B's words, who is not good at making cookies. If so, the last clause might be 人のを参考にしたいだけ.
 

Thank you very much.
 
I learn Japanese all by myself. No problem, I only learn the Kanji and Kana and nothing else, it is a good beginning. When I need more, I use the Google translator.
 
よね?

Well, I got this idea in my head to Japanese translate songs word by word and post them on Youtube to teach people who are interested a bit of Japanese. But the "よね" in "そういう扱い心得てよね" (a line from vocaloid's Miku Hatsune's song, "world is mine") has me stumped. Most translate it as "Ok?" or "Alright?". But I'm skeptical about this translation.
Also, the phrase "そういう扱い心得て" would mean, "so you can entertain my heart" right?
 
よね is used for confirmation in that case, thus, the translation "OK?" or "Alright?" is appropriate.

心得て is the -te form of a verb 心得る, meaning "to know/understand".

そういう扱い心得てよね
You should know to treat me like that(= to treat me as the No.1 princess in the world), alright?
 
Whoa, was way off on the translation there. Well, you learn something new every day.
Thank you!
 
Someone in the English Wiktionary's translation requests asked to translate the following into Japanese and it seems very important for the requester:


I know it's a big request and I don't feel confident translating the whole passage without making a few mistakes. If you're good with Japanese and have a bit of time, please translate! If you do, I'll pass it on immediately (without taking credit for the translation).
 
やり場のない気持ち
whats the meaning of the phrase above?
 
Hmm makes sense to me. Thanks a lot ryuurui! =D
That was in a song i'm trying to translate <-- What I do to study vocabs

Well, it's a very personal choice, depending on what works your you best. Soe people watch movies, some chat, others learn by heart, and me, I read books in my favourite cathegory, i.e. calligraphy. It is good to find a specilised subject, as you will learn it with interest. Personally, I hate books designed for studying language. They are so freaking boring...
 
I don't go to any classes so there isn't anyone I can chat with. And I can only learn that much on my own from textbooks =( Seriously, my progress slowed down a lot recently
 
I came across this kanji pair in my doujinshi.

待受

It has something to do with a phone. When split up it means
待=Wait
受=Receive

but what does it mean when it's together. Also if said in this context.

待受でも毎日お前に会いたかったけど。
I can only translate the second part as "I would have wanted to see you everyday but..."

And then there are these sentences.

誰がはいそうですか。じゃあいいですよ。っつんですか。つーかうさコ好きじゃない…


神聖な布団の上で何を騒いでいる？
"What's the disturbance atop the sacred futon?"
 
That's 待ち受け画面, i.e., mobile phone wallpaper.

Thank you for replying.
When I was reading my doujinshi all it said was this 待受. And I"m not sure how to approach translating the following sentence.
待受でも毎日お前に会いたかったけど
 
I wanted to see you everyday also in my mobile phone wallpaper...

The speaker wanted to set the addressee(お前)'s picture as wallpaper for his mobile phone.

Thank you so much. It looks like I got the other sentences down I think.

誰がはいそうですか。じゃあいいですよ。っつんですか。つーかうさコ好きじゃない

Who would believe that. Fine whatever...I don't even like rabbits.

神聖な布団の上で何を騒いでいる？
What disturbstance is this around the sacred futon?

--------------------
Now can anyone help me with these? I"m not sure if I translated it right.

寝ぼけるのもいい加減にしろ

You half-asleepers cut it out!!

そんなことを言う者には就寝式フォルティッシモをお見舞うにしてやる。
I'll visit the Bedtime Ceremony Fortissimo to those who said such a thing???

ここにあるもので言え
Tell me who's there?

あ~ジョンならK-Pop聴かせたら一発で寝るよ
Oh if it's John he'd have you listen to K-pop and you'd sleep in one shot.

There must be typos in っつんですか part, for instance っつーんですか or っつうんですか, since it doesn't make much sense. Anyway, 「はいそうですか。じゃあいいですよ。」 is a quotation. If it's っつーんですか/っつうんですか, I believe this would be correct, it's a contraction of って言うんですか and the meaning is Who would say "OK. No problem"? (= I never say "OK. No problem".)

Cut out/Stop being half asleep! (= Wake up!)

お見舞いしてやる

お見舞いする is an honorific of a verb 見舞う which expresses that an unfavorable thing happens. お見舞いしてやる is a bit slangy expression, meaning 殴る/ぶつける/くらわせる "to give ~ a crack/to throw ... to ~".

I can't get what 就寝式フォルティッシモ means, since I don't know the context.

We need the context to translate it correctly.

Ah, if it's John, you'd have him listen to K-pop and he'd sleep at once.


Japanese is a context-driven language, so it's often impossible to translate pieces of sentences without any context.
 
次、おめもじ叶う日を楽しみにしております

A student is talking to his teacher about learning new things.

I know that おめもじ is "to meet" but I don't understand the 叶う日 things.

I understand this as: I'm looking forward for our next meeting, but I think I'm missing something.

Thank you for your help.
 

First, I think its a female student, as おめもじ is used mostly by females. Now, if you combine meeting (おめもじ) + come true ( 叶う) and a day (日), with the fact that she is looking forward to it, it would translate into "I am looking forward to the day when our meeting becomes reality".
 
I'm not too sure about what the following means:

アキラの索敵ってステキ

I originally went with "Akira's Love for Scouting/Searching the Enemy" but the "suteki" bit is irritating me, seeing that it's lacking the -na.
