Need a word or phrase translated?

[BakabonPapa]

Also, I do not understand this here at all- メンヘル気味 with regards to a person- plz help

メンヘル is the abbreviation of "mental health" and used for bad condition. 気味 is "tend to" or "nearly".

 

[Rei Yahya]

Just learned 'baai' from my textbook. Would my usage here be correct? "If you don't make the train, a taxi is good, too." 電車を間に会わないばあい、タクシーもいいですよ。

My textbook also uses 'baai mo aru' as a sentence pattern but doesn't really explain what the 'mo aru' does...insight would be appreciated. :sorry:

 

[Toritoribe]

電車に間に合わない場合（は）、タクシー（で）もいいですよ;-)

タクシーで行く場合もある
I occasionally use a taxi.

Ok thanks So, suppose it were about a boy- 男の子。１４年。メンヘル気味。 How to translate the later part than?

 

[Toritoribe]

Another one- and 毎度ありがとう for Your help-its one thing to grasp the meaning of a text, another one to translate it

一連なりの妖怪、Smaugというようがいが。。。。 My guess- a series of monsters, a Monster called Smaug....?

Yes, that's right.

So, supposed it were about a boy- 男の子。１４年。メンヘル気味。 How to translate the later part than?

in near mental illness

 

[Rei Yahya]

Ahh, so does '~baai mo aru' generally mean 'occasionally'? Or your sentence literally translated, 'there is also the case of going by taxi'? Let me try one more...

お金を忘れるばあい、私は払ってあげるよ。If you forget money, I'll pay for you.

Is my usage correct?

 

[Toritoribe]

お金を忘れた場合は、私が払ってあげるよ。

The addressee already forgot money(be in the state of "forgetting money") when the speaker needs to pay, so 忘れた is used.

 

[Rei Yahya]

お金を忘れた場合は、私が払ってあげるよ。

The addressee already forgot money(be in the state of "forgetting money") when the speaker needs to pay, so 忘れた is used.

Thank you! Is 'wa' necessary after 'baai'?

 

[Toritoribe]

Not necessary, but は is often used in spoken language, I think.

 

[Rei Yahya]

いつも、お答えをありがとうございます。

I can not find this word here: うぞむぞうの世代

 

[nekojita]

May be an error and it was meant to be うぞうむぞう (有象無象)

[Toritoribe]

死んでも負けちゃならねぇという意識がどっかにあった

 

[Shirou]

Thank you very much, Toritoribe, then, what translation do you think should be more accurate in english?

- I rather die than lose
- I don't want to die even in death

(Or if you think any other translation will be better, please tell me.)

Thank you very much again for your help and your attention!

 

[Toritoribe]

lit. I had a consciousness that I mustn't lose even if I die.

 

[Shirou]

Arigato gozaimasu!

Can someone please help me say this in Japanese?:

"I don't often meet people that I have a lot in common with and am physically attracted to."

I'm mostly having trouble figuring out how to say physical attraction. I don't want to just say 好き.

Thanks anyone!

 

[Toritoribe]

What is the character of the speaker, male or female, old or young? To whom are you talking? What is the relation between you and the addressee? Are you talking politely or friendly?

The answer differs depending on these factors.

 

[Alish]

I've written a sakubun about my house and supermarkets, universities, etc around it. I've got some problem.
Speaking of my neighbours is this sentence ok?
うちのとなりのひとは...
and my second problem is that I want to end my sakubun with this sentence:
We've live in this house about 18 years.
But I don't know how to say it in Japanese. Is it ok to say:
私たちはこのうちに18ねんぐらい 住んでいます。
Thank you.

Hi Toritoribe, thanks for replying. The speaker is a female in her 30's, speaking casually to a friend.

そんな違和感の構造を話し合えたらいいなあと

It would be really great if we could talk in such a "structure of discomfort"?

and this here: 上昇カーブを描けない- I understand it is something about not being able to get promoted at work- but how to put it in English?

 

[Toritoribe]

talk about such a structure

can't draw an upward curve
