Need a word or phrase translated?

Ohh! I didn't see it was smaller than the rest until you mentioned it Im reding up from down for the first time so it's hard to see that, haha. The context is:
てめ一らの方が よっぽど あ〈まメごろ一が

てめ一らの方が よっぽど あ〈まメごろ一が
てめらの方がよっぽどあ

よっぽど means "much more (close to)" in that case.


a translation for 起こしにも来ないし, would be nice as well please :D
Can you understand just 起こしに来ない? も is for emphasis "even".
 
てめらの方がよっぽどあ
よっぽど means "much more (close to)" in that case.
Can you understand just 起こしに来ない? も is for emphasis "even".

So since those are in succession because of the し
the waking up occurs, and then the telling of "not coming" happens
So isn't it more like " I would have waked up even if you didn't come" or " I didn't come to wake you up" I think its the first, because they are listed in order of actions occurred, no ?
 
し is used to list actions like ~たり.

起こし is the -masu stem of a transitive verb 起こす, not an intransitive 起きる, thus, the subject of it is also his sister. (BTW, it' not a conditional.)
I'm talking about し at the end of the sentence/clause.

起こし is the noun usage of the -masu stem here.

に indicates the purpose of the verb following it. Haven't you learned expressions such like 会いに行く, 飲みに行く, 食べに来る or 返しに来る? 起こしに来る means she comes to his room to wake him up.
 
Oh yes I have, makes sense now I just realized that. the verb is 起こす, for some reason I thought is was something else.

Here is an excerpt from a big story in my textbook

この方法は大成功でした。今では上のほうほど早くいっぱいになって、1段から3段までいつも"万社"の表示が出ています。少しでも安くなるならエレベーターなんてなくてもいいと考える人が多いのでしょう。どれくらい安ければ。不便でもかまわないと考えるか、それが問題です

Im having trouble making sense of this sentence. If someone can give me hints, is the second part saying "Whether you think its convenient or alright. [Its still a problem]

Then, the answer is no. Any nominalizer is not required for a noun clause in Classical Japanese, thus, it's not omission.

Well, then... I guess either this guy is wrong or I'm not exactly understanding what he's saying. It sure seems like he's saying that head nouns get omitted. Maybe it's just because it's a beginners' lesson. The pertinent part starts around 3:10.

It seems that you both use the same learning material. :)

I believe he is talking about a way of thought (to solve the question). It's considered that when not to use it is common/normal/usual, the situation is not called "omission". It might be similar to the existence of "the subject" in Japanese grammar.
 
So it was an inaccurate explanation for the sake of easing understanding of the point he was making. I gotcha.
 
I, too, often use "the subject is omitted", since it's easy to explain.:p
 
lol wow so old, must be nostalgic, thanks for the link.

"何で声出したのよ?!黙っていれば手近な奴だけ倒してやりすごせたかもしれないのに!"

My translation based on context and most of the words
"Why did you yell[let out your voice]?!I If you had kept quiet we would have to only kill those guys nearby!"

Official Translation:
"Why did you yell!? If you had kept quiet we would only have to worry about the ones close by!"

The context is killing zombies btw. Not sure where they got worried from or its implied from the scenario which it probably is.

What does the bolded mean here?
 
Something like "let them go away without noticing our existence and can stay here safely"
 
Something like "let them go away without noticing our existence and can stay here safely"

Makes sense

傷く無過去分かってわざと冷たいくわしてしまうんだ

What does kuwashite mean here, I looked online but couldn't find anything
 
It doesn't make sense, including 傷く無過去分かって.

Ah I think I heard wrong



0:35 I believe that line, the lyrics arent online either
How about
傷つくむ過去分かってわざと冷たいくわしてしまうんだ
? or correct me if im hearing wrong please.

Thanks like always
 
I posted this in the kanji translation thread but just now realized that perhaps that thread is only for translating kanji to English and not vice versa, so i'll post it here:

Can someone please help me with the correct kanji for the english word "wanderlust"? Does this word even translate correctly/does it have any alternative connotations? From researching online I've found 旅行熱 and 旅心 . The first seems to be more common. Are either correct? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Not quite. It's 傷つく, not 傷つける, and it's more of a habitual action that something that was done at the end (冷たくしてしまう, not 冷たくしてしまった).

How would you word it?

Also can someone tell me in
頼むけえ 引かんといてくれ
what does the 引かんと~ part means here, all the definitions I found sound weird in this context

also can someone tell me if this makes sense I heard this, but I don't know if I heard it right

夕日がまぶしくて、見ていられなかったアイツ笑顔を、すでに勝負は決まっていたかもしれない

I'm kind of iffy about the last line its pretty fast
 
How would you word it?

Two questions:

1) Do you understand the difference between 傷つく and 傷つける?
2) Do you understand the difference between a habitual action and a past action in terms of how they're expressed in language? In other words, in this case, what's the difference between してしまう and してしまった in terms of how you would word them in English?

What I getting at here is that my comments on your translation aren't about a matter of wording, but about understanding what was actually said.
 
Sorry If i sounded rude.

傷つく = to get injured
傷つける = to injure

On the latter point, I believe one is present, and one is simply past tense, is it not?
 
Also can someone tell me in
頼むけえ 引かんといてくれ

頼むから引かないでくれ

That's a slangy usage of 引く.
ひく
㋕(俗語)相手に関心や興味を持たなくなる。 相手から気持ちが離れる。「これを口にすると女性が―・く」
引く/曳く/牽く(ひく)の意味 - goo国語辞書

夕日がまぶしくて、見ていられなかったアイツ笑顔を、すでに勝負は決まっていたかもしれない

I'm kind of iffy about the last line its pretty fast
夕日がまぶしくて、見ていられなかったアイツ笑顔を
すでに勝負は決まっていた(の)かもしれない

maybe?

On the latter point, I believe one is present, and one is simply past tense, is it not?
The present form of an action verb doesn't express the present state of it in Japanese. In this case, it's a habitual action, as Glenn-san pointed out.
 
Yep you nailed it , it was
夕日がまぶしくて、見ていられなかったアイツの笑顔を
すでに勝負は決まっていたのかもしれない

what does that do to the sentence? Why not just say
見られなかった, also whats with the

勝負は決まっていた Victory or loss, It may have been settled

Sounds really weiiiiird

Also on the note of the shiteshimau, when you translate it into different its not really any different right? I mean It gives the notion of completely doing something correct?

Like Shukudai o shite shimaimashou vs simply Shukudai o shiyou
