Need a word or phrase translated?

[Toritoribe]

Your translation is correct.

 

[Bizkit]

Thanks for clarifying!

I have another translation question.

What does this mean in English?

A... ano ne! Ano... dare mo, inai no ka to... e! E?

I came up with this so far:

Oh... you know! Uh... anyone, ?????? right!? Right?

The context is that someone got caught doing something embarrassing.

Can anyone help me fill in the blanks? Thanks!

 

[SomeCallMeChris]

A... ano ne! Ano... dare mo, inai no ka to... e! E?

Looks like,
'Um, excuse me! Um... nobody's there are they... ah... AH!'

え (e) is an exclamation (often of surprise), ええ (ee) is an affirmative expression, although of course, in dialogue (manga speech bubbles, anime/drama/movie transcripts, or quoted speech in books) then whether a vowel sound is long or short is flexible based on the character and the author. However, it's good to keep in mind the basis.

I don't know where the comma came from, but in any case 'だれもいない' is a standard expression for 'there's nobody (here / there)'. のか just makes it questioning instead of a statement. The と seems to me to imply と思う making the whole thing like an 'There's nobody there, I'm sure' that gets cut off by the 'え！' that implies somebody -is- there after all.

NVM Someone beat me to it.

Hey, thanks for the help. However, I guess I should add the person who got caught is talking directly to the newcomer, so she already knows that someone is there. Do you have any other ideas of what it says?

 

[Toritoribe]

思ってた（から）, not 思う, is omitted there.

あ、あのね！あの、誰もいないのかと（思ってたから）。。。
Y, you know, uh, I thought no one was here, so (I'm doing it)...

The two えs express her surprise and/or confused feelings.

 

[Andromedashun]

先生がたにおまかせしましょう

What is the meaning of the whole sentence? Is 先生がたに just mean ''to the doctors''? I still don't understand what's the suffix がた doing here?

 

[Toritoribe]

方[がた] is a plural honorific suffix.

−がた【−方】
1 〔複数の人につけて〕

先生方
one's teachers

[Andromedashun]

Oh I see. Then the sentence should be: ''Let's entrust the teachers''?
Thanks for the reply.

By the way... It's nice to know that がた is a honorific. I like honorifics. XD

 

[Andromedashun]

佳代には六三四にしてやれることがたくさんあるべ。

What is the meaning of this? What's あるべ? あるべき? I think probably not.

Except あるべ, I think the remaining phrase is ''For you Kayo you do many things for Musashi''.

六三四も一目も早くけな (うで) なおさんといかんな。

And this sentence tells something about Musashi's hand and ''one eye'' recover quickly but I can't tell the bold part.

 

[Toritoribe]

べ is a dialect used in a part of Tōhoku, Hokkaidō or Kantō region . You can think it as あるよ/あるだろう？.

やれる is the potential form.
Kayo, you can do many things for Musashi.

 

[Andromedashun]

Thanks a lot. Did you notice my editing? What's about the second sentence?

 

[Toritoribe]

I'm pretty sure it's not 一目も but 一日も.

治さないといけないな makes sense?

 

[Andromedashun]

That's right. My bad that's a typo.

Thanks one more time, I haven't got much knowledge about colloquial language.

 

[rocksaveus]

I'm trying to get the phrase "between heaven and earth" translated into kanji.

After a google translation, I found the following: 天と地の間

But I would like to know if it is a bad translation in any way.

Essentially the context is that I am trying to get a tattoo that represents a concept I am trying to learn in Aikido, that a student of Aikido acts as a channel between heaven an earth (which is essentially the proper transfer of energy in good martial form, "Strength of heaven and strength of earth, and your opponents shall fall from one to the other") , and through that he/she finds the proper balance they need to master the form.

A lot of information for a simple request, I know... but this has a lot of meaning for me, and I'm hoping to get a good translation.

Thanks!

 

[Andromedashun]

六三四、オレはおまえに県道しかおしえてやれん父っちゃだが。。。
県道やりたべなかったらいつでもやめていいんだぞ！！

I think the first sentence is: ''I am your father who can only teach you Kendo but...''
The second is something like: ''If you don't like Kendo, you can stop any time''

However, I can't find やりたべなかった in any dictionary so...

 

[Toritoribe]

やりたくなかったら

剣道, not 県道

 

[Andromedashun]

Oh my bad again. However the manga said ぐ not く, so I guess it is some kind of dialects. Thanks.

 

[Toritoribe]

Yeah, Musashi's father uses Iwate dialect, it you are reading 六三四の剣.

Indeed the meanings of ろう and だろう are the same here, but ろう is not a shortened version of だろう. In fact, the present form あるだろう is never shortened to あるろう. (あろう, which is an an euphonic change of あらむ, is used, instead.) あったろう is an euphonic change of ありたらむ(the conclusive form of a classical verb あり + the imperfective form of a classical auxiliary verb for the perfective たり + the conclusive form of a classical auxiliary verb for conjecture む).

This is really interesting. Looking at a phrase like あろうが、なかろうが、(doesn't matter whether something is going to happen or not.) it is my understanding that かろう conjugation for i adjectives happened long before あらむ became あろう. . I don't know much about Classical Japanese though so go easy on me.

 

[Andromedashun]

今日は武徳殿で小学生たつに稽古つけるからよーぐ見学すとれ！
My translation: ''Today because I make practices for elementary school students at Butokuden, you will look on''
However, I can't understand what's すとれ. Is it a short form of するとおり?

父っちゃにはいぐらかかっていっても、あたらなかったども。。。
The first phrase is: ''No matter how many times father says'', and what's the second? ども seems to be a word kids use?

FYI, なくあらむ --> なからむ --> なからう --> なかろう

My translation: ''Today because I make practices for elementary school students at Butokuden, you will look on''
However, I can't understand what's すとれ. Is it a short form of するとおり?

That's a dialect of しておれ（＝していなさい）, which is an imperative form of しておる（＝している）.

父っちゃにはいぐらかかっていっても、あたらなかったども。。。
The first phrase is: ''No matter how many times father says'', and what's the second? ども seems to be a word kids use?

That's not 言っても but 掛かって行っても.

掛かる

12 〔攻める〕
二人で強盗に掛かって行った
The two of them jumped the burglar.

猟犬たちはおおかみに掛かって行った
The hounds went at [for] the wolf.

掛かるの英語・英訳 - goo辞書 英和和英

あたらなかったども ＝ あたらなかったけれど（も）

 

[Andromedashun]

So is it something like: ''No matter how many times I went for father, I didn't hit him but...''?

 

[Andromedashun]

オラ、防具さつけたごとねえもん！
I guess ごと is another form of こと. Is 防具さつけたごとね a short form of 防具さつけたことがない?

おめたつも、このわらすどのぐらいつかえるか見たぐねか？
Except the bold part, I think the remaining is probably ''I want to see how long this brat can take''

あんますかっこよくね～～！！
Is あんます another way of saying あんまり?

 

[Toritoribe]

So is it something like: ''No matter how many times I went for father, I didn't hit him but...''?

Very close, but this sentence explains the result of the preceding sentence.

Although I didn't/couldn't hit him how many times~.

オラ、防具さつけたごとねえもん！
I guess ごと is another form of こと. Is 防具さつけたごとね a short form of 防具さつけたことがない?

Not a shortened form but a dialect of 防具をつけたことがない.

おめたつも、このわらすどのぐらいつかえるか見たぐねか？
Except the bold part, I think the remaining is probably ''I want to see how long this brat can take''

おめたつも: お前たちも

The subject is not the speaker.

使える means 剣が使える, i.e., the speaker is talking about the kid's ability of kendō here.

あんますかっこよくね～～！！
Is あんます another way of saying あんまり?

Yes.


I don't think this manga is appropriate as a learning material especially for beginners. There are too many (uncommon) dialects in it.
