「ハラすかして」、「~まし」、「限って~」、「ハンパ」 Hello everyone, Once again I seek your help with a few sentences / words. 1.「ハラすかして死んじ前!」 What does 「ハラすかして」 mean? Could it mean something similar to "starve"? Also, I'm not sure about "shinjimae", what does it mean exactly? 2.「こいつは海兵になりますまし。」 Why does this sentence end with 「~まし」? 3.「こいつに限ってあり得ない話だ!」 「限る」 means "to limit / to restrict" 「あり得ない」 means "impossible" Together, what do they mean? Perhaps "non-restricted"? 4.「本来の強さもハンパじゃない!」 What is the meaning of 「ハンパ」? The only word I got from the dictionary was 「半端」, but I can't understand the sentence using that word. I'm guessing 「ハンパ」 means something like 「姿」? Thanks all.

Need help with a few sentences 「鼻の穴ふくらましやがる」 In this sentence, what does "fukuramashiyagaru" mean? Putting it in a translator, i've gotten "blow" and "swell", but I am still confused. 「てめぇはCookどもにもケムたがられてる」 Over here, I need help with the word "kemutagarareteru". From the context, i am guessing it means something similar to "dislike"... I am probably wrong though. 「聞いてりゃ言いてえこと言ってくれんじゃねぇか」 OK, this one here, I am completely confused. If you could also help me with some of those verb conjugations by explaining them or referring me to a good website. (for example "~りゃ"、 "~やがる"、etc. ) Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
