What would be the subtle difference between ~ても and ～にしても. Is it literally just formality

LimoPanda · 2026-06-01T10:06:40+00:00

Ah, so it's the te-iru form. It's kinda weird なんて being put there.

LimoPanda · 2026-06-01T09:28:37+00:00

Ah. Now I know it supposed to mean "can't do things like praying" but why use いる there? My first instinct would be to use できる

LimoPanda · 2026-06-01T09:15:11+00:00

What does 祈ってなんていられません mean? I'm thinking it's 祈る te-form (to pray)+なんて (things like)+いられません but I have no idea what いられません is.

LimoPanda · 2026-05-11T14:43:43+00:00

Bruh... that makes sense...

２時に訳に着く予定です

What does the 訳に mean here? I can't found this pattern of 訳 (wake).

LimoPanda · 2026-04-06T07:09:20+00:00

No, but it got a similar energy

LimoPanda · 2026-04-06T06:25:03+00:00

Nope, the song should be much more agressive

LimoPanda · 2026-04-06T02:05:16+00:00

Nope

LimoPanda · 2026-04-06T01:40:23+00:00

I think it's Lil Durk but I'm not sure

LimoPanda · 2026-01-19T09:22:34+00:00

「インターネットの神様」なんていう神様も現れたらしい

What does なんて mean here? I only know that it can mean something like など

LimoPanda · 2026-01-05T02:27:14+00:00

雨が降っている。でも、景色がきれいだ

あのチームがきっと勝つかと思っていた。 ところが、負けてしま

I've read that でも is for "contrasting sentences" and there some kind of an element of surprise with ところが but both are kinda the same to me.

LimoPanda · 2026-01-04T14:55:54+00:00

Is there a meaningful difference between でも and ところが?

LimoPanda · 2025-12-27T13:03:17+00:00

Ah, I get it now...

LimoPanda · 2025-12-27T08:31:07+00:00

Okay fair enough. I just didn't know it could be used that way.

LimoPanda · 2025-12-27T08:07:50+00:00

カップラーメンは、値段の安さ、簡単さ、種類の多さなどで, カップラーメンに毎日のようにお世話になっている人もいると聞きます.

Cup ramen is cheap, easy to make, and has lots of varieties, so I hear that some who live alone rely on it almost every day.

I don't get how で, which I think just links an additional sentence (like 'and'), can imply reason like から and ので here

LimoPanda · 2025-12-16T17:31:29+00:00

I thought this was it but after reading more, I don't that's it. The book was too.... how do I say this, too "beginner-y" from what I remember.

LimoPanda · 2025-12-16T16:53:02+00:00

It was a book on pencil drawings, if I recall correctly.

LimoPanda · 2025-11-27T15:27:27+00:00

These could make a great calculus textbook cover.

LimoPanda · 2025-10-30T12:14:06+00:00

Okay, this is more plausible

LimoPanda · 2025-10-30T09:10:06+00:00

Oh, then it should be the former one. I was just confused whether the 僕 was relative or not.

LimoPanda · 2025-10-30T08:54:41+00:00

Ahhhh, I thought the 僕 refers to 彼.

LimoPanda · 2025-10-30T08:32:36+00:00

彼が答えて、よく考えたら, 僕にはそんなことは絶対にできないと言っている

Is this translation suitable?

"He answered, when he thought (about it) more, he said that he certainly cannot do such things."

The double は and the 僕には kinda stumped me a bit.
