Need a word or phrase translated?


The key is in おいて
 
Indeed it's future, but more likely it's the speaker's guess, as in かもしれません or でしょう.

you may sometimes feel rigid/stiff
 
いつまで汚い顔面さらすつもりだ!
少しはお茶の間のことも考えろ!
てめえのツラはもって3秒が限界だって…。
Is this もって used here simply for emphasis? As in:

もって【以て】の意味 - 国語辞書 - goo辞書
語調を強めるのに用いる。「いよいよ―承知できない」「まことに―残念なことだ」

Or is this some other usage?
 
もって3秒が限界だ = 3秒しかもたない
The reason why hiragana is used there would be that 保 is more commonly used for this meaning habitually instead of 持, but 保 is not authorized officially.

もつ【持つ】の意味 - 国語辞書 - goo辞書

たもつ【保つ】の意味 - 国語辞書 - goo辞書
 
Ah, that makes sense. At first I thought that it's 持って as well, but then I looked up the Japanese captions for the show and noticed that it's written in hiragana and got kinda confused. Thank you.
 
@Toritoribe
Could you please clarify the usage of もって in てめえのツラはもって3秒が限界だって…。, why does it compariable with 3秒しかもたない? When I first tried to read this sentence I thought that もって is an adverb here with meaning something close to "maximum/not more then" etc.
 
That's conditional as same as ~ても, as in ~てもいい, ~てもかまわない.
e.g.
もって(も)3秒だ/3秒が限界だ
行って(も)問題ない
食べて(も)害はない
買って(も)損はしない
 
Hey there folks,

Was just faced with a 夢幻 and I just can't fully wrap my head around the meaning of this one.

Checking on Chiebukuro, someone suggested this but actual definition is being rather hard to come by:

「ゆめ・まぼろし」ですが、「夢幻」は「無限」と音が同じなので、今はゆめまぼろしのようだと言われるかもしれないが、将来は無限の可能性があるという自己主張・願い・祈りを込めた命名であると思われます。

Can anyone confirm this? This word implies dreams that are specifically regarding towards one's hopeful future?
 
そのような事をせんでも

What is せん?

Edit: Nevermind, I know it is a dialect of しない
 
リューと直接対話しているはずのお前達がリューをまるでわかっておらんと言っている

What is はず?
''I'm saying that you who should be speaking directly to Ryu don't
understand Ryu at all''(?)

はず shows that the speaker is sure that お前達 did 対話.
対話 is mutual.
Grammatically, the subject of 言っている can be お前達, too. (The context determines who the subject is.)
 
I can't completely understand the subject for 四時間目の日本史の授業は、岡田の許可を得て欠席を出していた。. Since there is nobody else specified except 冴子, guess it is her... however somehow 出していた is confusing.

昼休みになると、冴子は重い足取りで保健室を出た。四時間目の日本史の授業は、岡田の許可を得て欠席を出していた。昼休みいっぱいベッドで休んでいた方がいいとも云われたのだが、もう大丈夫だからと出てきたのだ。
 
Yes, the subject is 冴子. 出していた shows that she had already given notice of the absence before she left the sick room.
 
Excuse me. I have to write my surname in Katakana, but I'm Ukrainian and have an unusual surname "Berchuk". Please help me transliterate it! ベルチュックですか。

When you read ベルチュック aloud does it sound close to how your name is normally pronounced? If so, then that is fine.

FYI, it also can be ベルチュク, ベルチャック, ベルチャク, バーチュック, バーチュク, バーチャック or バーチャク depending on the pronunciation.
 
英雄だけに心がヒーロービーロー!
What joke is this?
I assume the translation is: Because you are a hero your heart have to be spacious.
 
hint 1
What is the Japanese transliteration of "hero"?

hint 2
Why the long vowel marks are intentionally inserted in ひろびろ?
