is 口が減らない always negative/kind of an undesirable quality?
Was wondering about this line from the Final Fantasy IV script I’ve been reading. For context, it’s here: http://ff4com.s4.xrea.com/ff4conve/conve012.html
> お前らもか。 そんなに死にたいなら、まとめて地獄の砂にしてやろう！
I think it’s something like: “You all too? If you want to die, I’ll collect you and you’ll act as the sands of hell!”
But IDK what that would mean….so I probably did it wrong. What’sにして doing in this?
Can someone break down the semantics of “ 思い切って言ってごらん”
I understand 思い and 切って言って but I’m not sure why this would translate as “dare to say”. Thanks!
Hi, I came across the sentence, 憧れでもある, which I’m not totally sure of the meaning. I think it means something like “I also admire [subject]” but I’m not sure of the use of でも here. Thanks in advance!
