If that's -not- it, then what is it, may I ask?
Haven't you seen expressions such like 一仕事, 一工夫 or 一ひねり? 一 means "(a) little/small" in this case. 暴れ is the noun usage of the -masu stem of 暴れる, i.e., it's more likely a noun rather than a verb.Thanks!
But I'm still not sure what it means, especially the 2nd line. And I'm unfamiliar with 一 being used like that before a verb.
"I think it's best to start a riot so I can be king for another term." - Is that about right?
I think 暴れ could also refer to him getting violent.
No. He says つったっててもしょうがない. Look up つっ立つ
the volitional form of a verb + とする
to try to do
(~を)食おうとした
tried to eat ~
Why standard Japanese? No one speaks it in real life!I don't understand the bold part:
子供を襲う
下衆な妖怪も
よーおるちね!
Context: old woman warns a child about walking around alone at night and says this.
I think she has a Kyuushuu dialect.
What would be the standard Japanese?
I think ド or ドン just adds emphasis.Yes to your edit. I think ドン引き is another way of saying it. Basically, the reaction as illustrated in this image (perfectly work safe).
That is interesting since modern standard Japanese is basically the dialect of Tokyo. Originally I believe お控えなさって was accurate in archaic style but became corrupted into the local language of お控えなすって. おひけいなすって must be used for conversation as a more casual spoken construction.The speaker uses Edo dialect.
お控えなすって is an initial greeting to inform the addressee(s) that the speaker is going to begin the self introduction, so it's a bit different from はじめまして.
Such a common misconception that is.modern standard Japanese is basically the dialect of Tokyo.
A bit of elaboration would have been nice I think, because as far as I can tell Elizabeth is right.Such a common misconception that is.
Don't challenge a native speaker who has lived in Tokyo over 20 years. Judging from the questions you have been asking, your Japanese proficiency is nowhere near a native speaker's.A bit of elaboration would have been nice I think, because as far as I can tell Elizabeth is right.
