Need a word or phrase translated?

こんにちわ J44xm さん!
お疲れさまでした。
まだ時差ぼけもあるだろうし、ゆっくり休んでくださいね。
体調が戻ったら、日本の話を聞かせてください。
第一印象はどうですか?
 
Elizabethさん、どうもありがとう。
今日はすばらしい日でした。岡崎市でMikawa Ossanさんと観光旅行しました。楽しかったです。
今まで、時差ぼけがありませんが、今は眠たいですよ。
日本に住む事は新しい体験です。しかし、僕は今は大丈夫だと思います。
明日、ヤマサでプレイスメントテストがあります。しかし、僕は心配しません。

今日は。手伝ってお願いします。今、何か訳します。一人の男は宿屋に着いて、その宿屋の亭主は男の昔の友達。男の名前は頑丘(Gankyuu)。次は抜粋です:
"Will you be staying the night?" The man raised his head from its lowered position and turned to Gankyuu, smiling broadly. With that movement, Gankyuu was then able to see a slightly dirty girl standing before the man. Though he had nothing in his hand, the man seemed to have been doing something with the girl. He turned his back on the child and turned to Gankyuu, walking towards him with a swinging stride.
"You're Gankyuu, aren't you? What's up? It's been a while, hasn't it."
"It hasn't been that long. You got any vacancies?"
"Oh, I think we've got some."
The innkeeper was happy about something. He smiled with his whole face as he took the baggage from Gankyuu.

次の分は:「おいおい。言っておくが、そんなに良い部屋でなくていいんだぞ。とにかく寝られれば」

What would this sentence be translated to?
 
Bruce,

Use the word "pistol" (peesutoru).

How about: "I'll just say it but, it doesn't really have to be that nice of a room, you know. Anyway, as long as I can sleep then its fine." Although my translation skills still have a long way to go.

Hi there... another stoopit question from Kennin :emoji_flushed:
A man's yearly need for rice was measured in "koku " or "kōku" or "kokū" or "kōkū" until the Meiji revolution , I guess.

How's that in kanji please? And which hebonshiki rōmaji is correct please?
According to one of the sources I have (can't remember exactly which one, though) a "koku/kōku/kokū/kōkū" was also a unit of time, being approximately two hours, in the Edo Jidai.

Same question here:

Measurement of rice: 石(こく)as in 一万石

Measurement of time: 刻(こく)

Pistol is "pisutoru" which I still don't see as much, at least in the news, as
拳銃 (kenjuu) or if you're looking for a regular sized gun, that would be 鉄砲 (teppou).

Thanks! That really helped.

So kenjuu is a handgun and teppou would be a rifle? I'm confused about what these three names mean.
 
what I really need to say is "I work at a gun factory"
I'll be visiting some family in Japan in about three weeks and they might ask where I work.
 
"Kenjuu" is handgun.
"Teppou" is firearms in general, used chiefly to point to those used in the old days and not the modern types.
There are many terms used to refer to firearms.

I think "jyuu" is the most "generic" term for guns in general, especially handguns.

From the industrial perspective, firearms are collectively called "jyuu-ki."

Additional note:
"Factory" on a large scale (such as for building cars) is called "koujou."
"Factory" on a smaller scale (suggested but not necessarily true) is "seizou-jo."

So, a gun factory can be (1) jyuu-ki koujou or (2) jyuu-ki seizou-jo.
More casually, it can be called (1) jyuu no koujou or (2) jyuu no seizou-jo.

This all depends on the type of manufacturing operation you work in.

Hope it helps! 😌

yes it does thank you. I guess it would be a small factory. Maybe 50 people in the shop and another 30 or so in other parts.
