Hi. Could someone please explain to me this verb form “帰ろうぜい”?
I came across this phrase while watching a Japanese drama. In the scene, some students are finishing school and about to go home and one of them says to her friends “何してんの? 帰ろうぜい”. I get she is talking about them going home, but I don’t know the use of the verb form in the phrase.
I found something reading the Dragon Quest script that I assume is some kind of fourth-wall breaking joke, but I don’t get it
> 「ねえ 私の ぽーとぴあと あなたの ドラゴンくえすとを かえっこしてよ。
> 「今夜のおかずは何にしようかしら……
The second part just seems like “What dish shall I have tonight”
The first part seems to say something like “Sister, after my POOT with your DRAGONquest, (???)
yeah it just seems like a jumbled mess to me. It probably doesn’t matter in terms of understanding the script but, wonder if anyone wants to take a crack at it.
Since “あなたは…” is rather rude then to what extent does that also apply to “あなたの”. Ex. これはあなたの椅子です.
時が止まったかの様に置かれている 埃の被った家具たち
Could I please have some explanation of 止まったかの I am not quite sure of the か an の’ｓ function in this sentence how does it differ from simply saying 時が止まった様に置かれている
I saw this in the [dragon quest script](https://nayukaaaaa.nomaki.jp/wp/dq4/dq1.html) and was wondering about it:
> 木の所に進めば、何度でも連戦可
I haven’t seen 可 as a suffix.
My guess is this says something like, “If you advance to where the tree is, as many times as you want there is a battle” or something.
I’m having trouble finding a good source on how 可 works so if someone can either link me or explain it, that would be very nice 🙂
1) I know that 考えすぎる人 is grammatically correctly for “a person that overthinks” but it sounds off to me for some reason. Would 考えすぎの人 be a better way to phrase it?
2) I’ve seen い adjectives like 大きい/小さい modify nouns using な so I was wondering if these are on a word by word basis/specific to certain words or if there’s a more general rule in which this is applicable?

…

It seems like 周る must be a verb, but a Jisho search can’t find it, so I’m confused. Anyone know what is going on here?
