since omae basically means "thing before me" can it be used with an inanimate object?
おれさまをふきとばしてたちはだかった黒いやつなにものだ!おまえは!?
my first take was to read exclamation mark first, so i translated it as "hey you" to make it more rude
but on the next page it would make a ton of sense if the dude thought that the object is an inanimate
おまえはなにものだ
so that i translated like "what is this thing". which made me think about the first example.
can omae be used wwhen screaming at inanimate objects? or did it entirely transform into a pronoun? should both be translated as you or both asking what is that thing?
