Need a word or phrase translated?

sl89 · 17 Mar 2012

I'm not sure what this word means. I tried looking it up in some online dictionaries, but I couldn't find anything that seemed to fit the context.

恋人同士ゆうたかて俺がお前の方見てニコニコなんて出来るわけない

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: Actually, the person speaking is using Kansai-ben, so could ゆう be 言う? Or is it something else?

Toritoribe · 17 Mar 2012

Right. That's 言う in kansai dialect.

恋人同士ゆうたかて＝恋人同士っていったって

Thank you for the replies! I will go with auzzie's corrections with mike and toritoribe's change in particles (に). And yes I do meant to say この.

FYI, this might be a bit advanced but in the sentence このしゃしんに、さんにんがいます, さんにん has a nuance of "THE three people", i.e., people we are talking about, people we already know, people in the topic, etc. It should be さんにんのひと.

Figuring out which pronouns and verbs apply to which topics of discussion is tough ! I have seen similar sentences to tori's, for instance, with 映る instead of 写る or without the は but に is to necessary and correct to relate the mere presence of the three as subjects in the shot. で would be used for the most part to comment on a particular aspect of the image, a quality of the photo itself (coloration, contrast, development) etc., or to emphasize the action of the participants and what they were actually doing in the picture.

Indeed 写 and 映 are confusing but 映る is basically used to describe how the image in the picture is (as you can imagine from 映える), or is used for the image in a mirror or video(as in 映像).
e.g.
あの３人の着物は今でも写真の中に色鮮やかに映っている。
鏡に映った自分を見ている。
犯人が現金を盗む瞬間が防犯ビデオに映されていた。

１写真に姿・形が現れる。写真が撮れる。「にやけた顔で―・っている」

写る（うつる）の意味 - goo国語辞書

１姿・形・影などが、反射や投影によって、他の物の上に現れる。「鏡に―・った顔」「障子に―・る人影」
２映像がスクリーンやブラウン管などの上に現れる。「電波障害でテレビがよく―・らない」
３色や物の配合がよく、つりあいがとれている。また、付属的なものが本体と調和する。「あの人には赤がよく―・る」「その背広にはストライプのネクタイがよく―・る」
４人の目にある印象を与える。映ずる。「初めての人には奇異に―・る風習」

Hello ^^ I was wondering if you would be willing to translate "どーゆーことだ"? I've seen it pop up a lot, but I'm terrible with casual speech. ^^;

Then perhaps just rendering it in the normal fashion is all the help you need: どう言う事だ？どういうことですか？

Does that clear it up?

What does the kanji under his sword represent in English?

Toritoribe · 23 Mar 2012

The title of the manga and his name.

So just to be sure those two lines of kanji read "rurouni kenshin"?
thanks a lot for the help

Toritoribe · 23 Mar 2012

No. That's the title AND his name.

the right line
the title: Rurouni Kenshin

the left line
his name: Himura Battousai

FYI, "rurouni" is written in hiragana, and not kanji.

Milhouse · 24 Mar 2012

Please help translate.

Could anyone please translate these symbols on this sword for me?
Would very much appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Hi guys I'm new here; been wanting someone to help me get this translated "omoikiri tobashi chatte (chiechiei~su!!)
mata nomi kurabe tete gudenguden
mecha sawai de akumademo tsukiai denante" it might have some slang its from a rap song. Been listening to it a long time but could not find any translations.

Can someone please help me understand the context of this video and what's being said at
4:15-5:30-ish?

Please.
Is this game being re-released?

I need this information asap, if possible.
And I'm only making a guess, of where the information I need, is in the video.
I apologize if the translator needs to watch longer than I estimated.

Toritoribe · 30 Mar 2012

No. they were not talking about "re-release". He said that that old game might be still available in some stores but users can't play online version of the game. They just demonstrated the game for the fans.

Can you provide one last bit of closure (I'm being thorough for the sake of others).

Hello!
I'm off to the hairdresser tonight, and usually we get by ok (she's Japanese and i'm English). Unfortunately I am stuck when it comes to highlights! Can anyone help me with the following phrase:
"Like I've been sitting on a beach"
Otherwise I've got photos and words like good, bright, fake and bad! Thank you!

Toritoribe · 31 Mar 2012

How about ビーチに座ってるときみたいな感じで "biichi ni suwatteru toki mitaina kanji de"?

Just curious, can't she understand the original English phrase?

Ah thank you!
We've had the discussion on hair colour already, and she was a bit confused. I don't want thick stripes so thought i'd be better off armed with a bit more!

It's about hitting something hard (? and missing?), drinking contests, making a lot of noise together...I can't help more without the full song.

Hello. I'm having some problems with this sentence.

"あのころの俺はとても弱くて無知だったから
君がどんな思いで、あんなことをしたのかさえ忘れてしまった"

This is as far as I've gotten with it, but I'm not sure after that: "At that time, I was very weak and naïve"
With 君がどんな思いで, my eyes automatically went to the どんな, is the speaker asking if the person he's speaking about thought he was weak/ignorant?
I'm a bit lost with かさえ, is it supposed to be "のか" and "さえ忘" or "かさえ忘"? I can't find anything for かさえ that makes sense.
Is あんなことをしたのかさえ忘れてしまった supposed to be something along the lines of "you've even forgotten those things that I did"?

Mike Cash · 1 Apr 2012

あんなことをしたのかさえ忘れてしまった is where the word breaks would go.
