Need a word or phrase translated?

Thanks for that but it didn't show much result in google but found it on comments that it's kiryak - my dragon and it's the piece that I wanted.

Now I readed the lyrics and realised it contain more "two-dimension complex"

Thanks Japan Reference users :)
 
人間は、周りがすごく上のレベルにいて自分が下のレベ ルにいると、「もういいや」って気持ちになるものです 。当時の私はまさしくその状態。

Can someone translate this sentence for me, I just can't work out the meaning.
 
It's not a literal translation, but I think that it roughly means:

'Where a person sees that everyone around them is of a high level, while they themselves are of a lower level, they are prone to think 'enough already'. Right now, I certainly find myself this way'.
 
The sentence is :
鼓動を響かせて この時をわかちあえるから
When I put [わかちあえる] on google translate it says "able to share"
When I put wakachi by itself it says share, when I put aeru by itself it says "dress". How does that mean share this together in the context of this sentence?
 
あえる is not a verb 和える but the potential form of a verb 合う, which is used as a subsidiary verb here.
Again, you'd better learn the verb conjugation.

Not "right now". 当時 means "at the/that time". So it's more like "That's how I was at the time." But the rest you've got right.
 
I wanted to write my bio on this website in Japanese. If someone could translate it from English to Japanese I would really appreciate it~!

"I'm a young girl from Birmingham, Alabama who likes rain, blood, and Japanese culture. I do not have a Kik and I do not give out my number."

I know it's a little weird but I'm weird so its ok. If the translation is a little rough please reword it so it makes sense and sounds natural. Thanks :)

私は雨や血や日本のカルチャーが好きなアラバマ州バーミングハムの女の子です。私はKiKを使ってないし電 話番号も教えられません。
 
Hello
I need to translate "Which one?". It's said about a person, his surname was mentioned in previous sentence, and now one of the speakers wants to know which of his contacts is discussed
will it be "dore no?" or something else?
 
I'm reading a manga where a horny woman says "お願い~ ウリウリ!" to her boyfriend and I have no idea what she means by ウリウリ.
I've googled it for probably an hour already. Google Image Search seems to suggest (apart from Uliuli being a Hawaiian instrument) that it refers to something like cuddling or petting. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance.

Edit: Hmm, I think this might also refer to this Hawaiian dance where one shakes one's hips, but I'm really not sure.

"Dare no?", "Docchi no?", "Dono hito no?" or like that.
 
Hello, I'm a bit confused by this sentence structure:
うちは夏は雨は降らない

This is my first time coming across so many はs in one sentence. Would it be contrastive? "It doesn't rain as much in the summer at my place"?

Here's the conversation for context:
A : だって雨やまないしじめじめしてるし君ん家じゃないんだから
B : うちは夏は雨は降らない
 
Yes. It's contrastive and your translation is correct.
 
You are right. "~は" is used to express "in ~'s case, not as other cases".
So as a sentence, it might be rain in spring, fall, or winter, and may snow or hail in summer.
 
Yes. It's contrastive and your translation is correct.

Thank you!

Is A's house leaking or something?

It's not. I'm assuming that the humid weather is affecting how it feels on the inside. A's sentence was in a response to something that B had said earlier about not wasting electricity by turning on the air conditioner. A and B live in different areas, and it seems that the place where B lives does not have as much of a problem with rain/humidity during that time of year.

I see, thank you. :)
 
All the three はs are for contrastive.

Unlike in your house, in my house..., unlike in other seasons, in the summer..., unlike other things, the rain doesn't fall....

Is A's house leaking or something?
I don't know the context exactly, but B's words seem to work as a joke. Probably B would say it unconsciously, though. A complained of continuing raining, humidness at the place and it is similar to B's house, then B answered (probably seriously) it doesn't rain in his house in the summer. This words sound like as if rain(or other things) falls in his house in other seasons.

Oh wait, then 君ん家じゃないんだから refers to wasting electricity? This is not your house, so you don't need to care about the electric bill?
 
That's how I interpreted it as well after the context. But, if it were raining in someone's house, the inside would be more than じめじめしている. It would be びしょびしょしている. It seems like if wouldn't be a question of rain if it's about the A/C, though; it seems like they should be talking about the heat.
 
In this case, うち would mean うちの方, as sl89-san interpreted correctly, and doesn't refer to my house, I think.

This guy said this to me... what does it mean and what is a polite way to answer it in Japanese? (could you write it in kanji for me, thank you)
