Need a word or phrase translated?

boolas · 9 Jun 2015

Hello!
I just found this forum! I would really appreciate if someone could verify my translation for image attached.
As far as I was able to translate this its: "daremo shinjiru na" which means "everyone to trust" with the last character giving negative meaning to the sentence so something like "trust nobody".

Toritoribe · 9 Jun 2015

Yes, it means "Trust nobody / Don't trust anybody".

ったく邪竜族ってのは、どいつもこいつも！
All you Evil Dragon Tribe are the same!
ガルデンには貴様達と戦うよう命じてある！リュー使い同士で戦い、果てるがいいさ！
The battle between you Ryu-users is a good ending!
Is this で mean ''between''?

Toritoribe · 10 Jun 2015

同士で gives that meaning, not just で. It's the same as AとB（と）で戦う.

果てるがいい is a sarcastic expression. いい doesn't mean "good" here. It's close to 果てろ.
果てる means "to die".

はてる【果てる】
II 〔死ぬ〕die; pass away
いつ果てるともわからぬ身だ
I may meet my fate [end] at any moment.
自らのどをかき切って果てた
He killed himself by cutting his throat.

フン、あんなクズを追いかけているようじゃお前の実力も、たかが知れるというもの！
What is ようじゃ? Does it mean ''if''?

Toritoribe · 11 Jun 2015

It's more likely "(such) like".

商売も目的のための手段というわけか
It is a method also for the purpose of trading(?)

nekojita · 12 Jun 2015

Think about 商売は目的のための手段, then have another go.

Andromedashun · 12 Jun 2015

You mean trading is also a method for obtaining the purpose? (?)

nekojita · 12 Jun 2015

Xのための手段 more generally is something like "a method to achieve...". "A means to an end" would probably be good here (e.g. 商売 isn't an end in itself, it's a tool you use to get to your real 目的)

このままでは飢えて死ぬという時に、
ようやく手に入れた果物の虫食いを
気にする人がいるでしょうか？
What does this mean?
My attempt:
At this rate when we starve to death, isn't there is a person minds the worm-eaten of the fruit that we obtained at last?

"We're going to starve to death at this rate, so I don't think anyone will mind spots on these fruits we (finally) got our hands on, right?"

Spots as in worm bites, mind.

You seem to ignore 時 but thanks for the help anyway.

時に, in this particular situation, tags what preceded it as a state in time.

Thus, "このままでは飢えて死ぬという時に" could be literally read as: in the moment/situation where we are (progressively) starving and dying.

I omitted it simply to make the phrase flow better but it's still implied.

Hello. I had a question about this sentence here.

パズルをして時間を過ごすのが好きです

What is て form doing here?

What is て form doing here?

In this phrase, it's indicating a correlation between the verbs パズルをする (do a puzzle) and 時間を過ごす (spend time) into . Make the first て form and, together, it becomes "Spend time DOING puzzles".

Thus, your phrase is "I like to spend time doing puzzles".

Hi! I was reading the manga "Durarara!!" and met the phrase I really can't get it. What is she talking about?
"You overwatched TV-shows. And also only promised..." (And then she says 'You live in reality, and you are not the hero', and boy replies 'So it is. I want see beatiful things. 予定調和でいきたい')
予定調和 --pre-established harmony (Leibniz)
Is that really Leibniz's theory?

Many bilingual people on this forum would be more than happy to help beginners with questions about Japanese vocabulary. Even grammar questions.

What word or phrase would anyone like translated into Japanese or English?
