Need a word or phrase translated?

[Toritoribe]

It's an inversion; 思ったこと（を）すべて言えばいいのです。

Hello !
My name is Kai and I need your help translating a sentence:
苟くも結婚を以って人倫の大義とし、一夫一婦を人道とする以上は、其男性であると女性であるとに因らず、離婚が恥辱である事位、明確た話はない。
How would you translate this sentence ?
Thank you for your help!

 

[Toritoribe]

Isn't it 明確な話はない?

What part don't you understand?

 

[letianchen]

What does this mean, couldnt find what it meant online heard it in an anime, not exactly sure what the context is just randomly heard it.

薪が散っちゃったじゃねぇか

 

[Toritoribe]

The firewood is scattered (because of you, your words, your action, etc.).

～ちゃったじゃねぇか is used to blame the addressee that the speaker accidentally did it because of them.

 

[abrogatedshounen]

I have two questions;
How would I say, "I forgot where I left off." in Japanese, for example when I am counting money.
And how would you ask someone "Can you look after my things?" If you are going to leave your seat to get something.

 

[Toritoribe]

どこまで数えたか忘れた[Doko made kazoeta ka wasureta] in casual speech and すいません。ちょっとこれ見ておいていただけませんか？[Suimasen. Chotto kore mite oite itadakemasen ka?] in formal speech, specifically for "I forgot where I left off (when I am counting money)" and "Can you look after my things? (when you are going to leave your seat to get something)", respectively.

The translation differs depending on the context or the relation between you and the addressee. It's impossible to say those sentences in the form you can use in any situation.

 

[abrogatedshounen]

So basically 見ておく is to look after?

 

[Toritoribe]

Not really. 見ておく can be translated to "to look/see (in advance for a purpose)", "to allow (a time span to do)", "to keep observing", etc., and "to look after" can mean 世話をする, 面倒を見る, 気を配る, 気にかける, 気をつける, 注意を払う, 番をする, 監督する, etc., etc. What 見ておく means and what "to look after" means are not the same. They are just partially overlapping. That's why I said "the translation differs depending on the context".

 

[Yzlot]

I have a question about this phrase:

ひとまず、打てるだけの手は打った。
Does this phrase have a nuance of "taking the pre-emptive"? And is は here interchangeable with both が and を?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Toritoribe]

Yes for the former question, and no for the latter one. 手は is the topicalization of the object 手を. が can't be used here. (It should be 手が打たれた.)

 

[letianchen]

くそっ。。また回収せねば..

the seneba part is a negative "if not~~" right? If i added naranai it would be "must" like なければいならない?

Damn... If I don't collect it quicky...

 

[undrentide]

くそっ。。また回収せねば..

the seneba part is a negative "if not~~" right? If i added naranai it would be "must" like なければいならない?

Damn... If I don't collect it quicky...

Even ならない is omitted, it still means "I have to". また means 'again'.

My attempt is:
Damn, I have to collect it again...

 

[letianchen]

thanks, and woops my bad

Apocalypse no Toride - Chapter 20 - Page 4 - Raw | Sen Manga

the top right does the kane - , imply the vern kaneru? as in "cant do" ? so the sentence is a negative right?

 

[Toritoribe]

かねー on upper-left of the page is a sentence final particle (か + ね), thus, it's not negative.

 

[letianchen]

is it possible for かねー to be a negative from kaneru? In manga or anime?

also

ちなみに子供じゃなくて子どもだろ！とか言ってる人もいるけど意味がわからない。障害者の害もひらがなで書くようになってきているけど害という漢字の本来の意味を知ってるの？って話.

My friend posted a bunch of stuff on fb. Wanted to know how to interpret the red part. how about

There are also people who say "toka" but im not sure what the meaning behind this is.

 

[Toritoribe]

No. It's impossible to mean that. You should know a very basic fact; the second compound verb(後項動詞) ～かねる is ONLY attached with the -masu stem of a verb. かんじす（感じです） is not a -masu stem, further, not even a verb. (Copula can't be attached with かねる.) You also need to learn that the -masu stem かね is not pronounced as a long vowel. "かねー looks similar to かねる" is not a good way of interpreting.

～とか: ~ or something

 

[letianchen]

Thanks ( btw i wasnt reffering to the manga but in general after the masu stem of a verb, I should have made that clear)

For the latter

How do I interpret とか言ってる人 then? I still dont really understand.

 

[Toritoribe]

The -masu stem かね is usually not put at the end of a sentence in speech even if it's not a long vowel, unless the phrase following it is obvious and therefore can be omitted. (I believe such the case is quite rare. Instaed, the -te form かねて would be used for the case.)


～とか言ってる人
the one who says ~ or something

（ちなみに）子供じゃなくて子どもだろ！ is the quotation he is referring to. It's not his words.

 

[letianchen]

k ty.

I was reading a LN before and I forgot to mark the page but I recall something about someone going to the 8th floor of a building

上がったあたりので I believe was the end of the sentence. Or something along these lines. What is the atari for after the 上がった, is this a grammar point?

 

[Toritoribe]

意味がわからない。

im not sure what the meaning behind this is.

意味がわからない means more likely "It makes no sence = I don't know why they say such a thing", thus, he actually said "They are wrong" here.

Isn't it 上がったあたりで? ので could be possible, but the situation where it's used would be rare.

If ーかねる is a manga word that is one type I would actually be interested in reading (and understanding !) although 感じかねる seems difficult to place in a natural context in any case. Possibly in referring to the feel of an object or physical sensation ?? I'm not really sure. :emoji_thinking:

Thanks for the latter I cant believe I didn't think of it, the kanji would have helped me out there for sure.

Btw why do you assume its a "he" for the thing I sent you? Your right, but wondering if there are characteristic things in that sentence guys say that girls don't ? Or did you just say he, I do that all the time too but just curious..

 

[Kurokome]

Does anyone know what おったぞ means? It's in the context of a rescuer running to a rollover ambulance car with broken windows... the sentence to that is 前の人に

The sentence seems so, not obvious, but feels like so.

It's a dialectal way of saying いたぞ.
