Context?
I highly recommend to hire a professional translator, since that's an issue relating to "money".
The order of the address is opposite, by the way.
Context?Thanks!
This one too:
はっ。できれば、一流のにおいで、気づかれたかった。
悪党には、二流のにおいが、お似合いだ。
I highly recommend to hire a professional translator, since that's an issue relating to "money".Need a couple of phrases translated if anyone has the time.
"I apologize for taking so long, but the bank won't let me wire transfer without this information no matter what."
"Bank Name"
"Bank Address"
"Your full name"
"Your full address and phone"
And I'm guessing that the following address translated into Japanese is:
1-16-20 Fujigaoka, Aoba Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa 227-0043, Japan
1-16-20藤が丘、日本青葉区、横浜市、神奈川227から0043

Hello,
I would like to know how do you spell "hagane no kokoro" in kanji.
Thanks
鋼 の 心
'Steel heart'.
That's an interesting phrase!
Good quote.
I think my son has that in his anime collection ... I'll check it out.
I'm sure the kanjis are correct .. but would advise getting another person to confirm, particularly if you are getting a tattoo done!
来る literally means "to come (back)", as in 買い物してくる (to go shopping and come back). In that sentence, the speaker/writer is going to go to Japan, study Japanese there(in Japan), and then come back where they are now(= くる).2 short questions, if you don't mind.
1. 「日本に行くんだから、せめて、日本語だけは勉強して来ようと思っています。」(From Dictionary of Intermediate Japanese Grammar)
What exactly does 勉強して来ようと思っています mean, more specifically 勉強して来る. I understand how ようと思っています is used (think i will~). I've also seen 勉強してくる(with/without と思っています), etc. No idea what 来る is supposed to mean there.
2. 「今年、ここ『place name』では、節目となる復興１５周年を迎えることになりました」
Context - there was some flood disaster years ago so I guess it's the "15 years milestone" since the rebuilding of the area.
I'm wondering about the 迎えることになりました part. I've seen 迎える translated as "celebrate" especially when used with some milestones (like １５周年), but does it just mean "approach, go into (said time), and the celebrate part is used to make it sound a bit better in English? Also, about 「ことになりました」. I know how it's generally used, but here it's kind of strange to me. Is it just some indirect phrase used to be polite or something (It was said by some radio announcer)? I've also seen it in「卒業を迎えることになりました」.
迎える／邀える（むかえる）の意味 - goo国語辞書４ （確実にやってくる）ある時期や段階を目前にする。「還暦を―・える」「死を―・える」「正月を―・える」
It's from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and one of my favourite quotes:
"A lesson without pain is meaningless. That's because you cannot gain something without sacrificing something else in return. But, once you've withstood the pain and overcome it, you will gain a heart that is stronger than everything else. Yes. A Fullmetal heart."
Thank you for the reply, you are 100% sure?
I'd like the symbols to be a part of a tattoo so I don't want to risk any mistakes hehe
This one too:
１
A-できれば、一流のにおいで、気づかれたかった。
２
B-悪党には、二流のにおいが、お似合いだ。
hagane = 鋼 from the title of 鋼の錬金術師 so this must be the correct kanji.
kokoro = 心 should be correct too.
I have watched this anime, but now I don't remember in which episode he said it???
I have Japanese subs for the FMB series, if you want I can confirm from those... but for that I need the episode number in which he said this dialogue???
I'm pretty sure that line was near the end of the final episode.
Yes, that's correct. It's in the end of the final episode, the train scene.
におい means "atmosphere/aura" there.umm context is like A is villian, b is hero... both were fighting and now hero has won the fight.
so I think this goes something like:
１.「I wish you had noticed me by the finest perfume/first grade smell.」?
２.「Second grade smell suits a devil.」?
The nuance of 弁解 and 言い訳 is more close to "excuse", but yes, your translation is excellent!Hey folks,
I'd like to confirm my interpretation of a phrase; for context, this phrase is said by a man after finding out that his teammate had killed his parents a few years back; the teammate says he'll make no excuses and, then, the man says this:
そんなの無いですよ！弁解でも、言い訳でもしてくださいよ！そうじゃないと僕は！
Am I correct in reading this as: "Don't give me that! Just tell me anything – a reason, an explanation! If you don't, then I'll…!"
Thanks for the insight.
Hmm, I assumed it's the latter, but the meaning of the sentence doesn't change in either case, I believe.
Yeah, I didn't even notice it until your post.
It's the speaker's parents that were killed, yes.
Either way, thank you for the confirmation, Toritoribe-san!
