- Can someone explain「下を向いたらダメだ。」 I'm reading an interview article and it says: 話すを聞くうちに、普段は気づかないけど、自分の夢だったり根本にあるものはみんな一緒なのかなって思えて。ただ、逆に自分の重いはみんなと違うのかな?って思ってしまうときもありましたね......。 「下をむいたらダメだ」って言われたんですけど、本番前に泣いてしまいました。 The literal translation of "don't look down" doesn't really make sense to me in this context, so I thought maybe it's more of an emotional "down"? Can someone explain what this means in this context?October 4, 201730
- Could someone explain what this means? I'm trying to read this article and it says 何が正解でどうすることで道は開けるのかを考えれば考えるほど、自分の存在意義を見失い葛藤したはずだ。 I understand the first half being, but I'm not sure I understand the second half. The 見失い葛藤したはずだ part is throwing me off. I thought it meant something like The more she thought about what was right or what to do in order to open the way forward, the more it seemed like she lost sight of the meaning of her own existence. Can someone correct or explain this to me please?October 1, 201720
- B: どこで払えばいいですか。 B: Where should I go to pay? A: 申告書を作って、 あちらの窓口へ持っていき、 そこで税金を払います。 その際領収証 を受け取って下さい. A: Please fill out this declaration and take it over to the window over there. Once you've paid for the taxes please accept the receipt. While not a direct literal translation, this is what it means. Hope that's helpful!0 votedSeptember 7, 20171
- While the grammar could use a lot of improvement, the general ideas are there so even though it's not proper, it's understandable. I can't read some of this very well because it's all in romaji, but if you would like to improve it, I could suggest this: konnichiwa! juusan sai no anjarina desu kazoku wa watashi to haha to chichi to otouto no yonin desu watashi wa oosutoraria de umaremashita kedo chuugoku jin desu. uchi wa shidoni desu. pho, akanbou to chousen ga suki desu demo toufu, taikutsu to hayaku mezameru koto ga kirai desu. shumi wa suiei, utau koto to badominton desu. gojuuissai no chichi no namae wa arubato desu. watashi no chi chi wa indo kara kimashita kedo chichi wa chuugoku jin desu. binshou, hatsumei to heiwa ga suki desukedo gizen sha, sakana to dorian ga kirai desu. shumi wa soukou, UFC to eiga wo mirukoto desu. yongosai no haha no namae wa yusutini desu. watashi no haha wa indonishia kara kimashita kedo haha wa chuugoku jin desu. kyuujitsu, taberu koto to suimin ga suki desu kedo uso, sakebu koto to tatakai ga kiirai desu. shumi wa suiei, kaimono o suru koto to haikingu desu. Also, I understand that in the beginning, many people are taught to end sentences with "desu" but it's really not used this much in actual real life situations.0 votedSeptember 7, 20172
- I'm missing a bit of context so I'm not entirely sure but this is what I think: It sounds like this is the daughter's response to her father asking her to close the window. Literally: わざわざ Especially/specially/going out of your way 目の前にある窓 The window right in front of your eyes を閉めてもらう Asking me to close it ために For that reason 私を大声で呼んだの? You called me loudly? しかも Moreover 別の部屋から。 From another room In a natural way of expressing this: You went out of your way to shout for me to come from another room just to close a window that's right in front of you? Hope that helps!0 votedSeptember 7, 20173
- What does 素情 mean? So, question answered. It seems like they made a mistake and it should be 表情 so that's easy enough to understand. Original Question ============= I was reading through an interview article and came across this line where I don't quite understand a couple kanji. あと、素情も大人っぽくなったなあと、撮影を見ていて感じました。 What does 素情 mean in this case? Or is it supposed to be 素性 and they made a mistake? =============September 7, 201710
- From the perspective of a native English speaker, these can all be correct. In casual conversation, I could easily hear someone use any combination of 'when, where, that, they' here. I know that doesn't really help you though so I won't post that as an answer. Perhaps some proper English grammar gurus could shed some light on this.0 votedAugust 27, 20170
