Key Grammar Structures
-
誰かを救うということは 過去の自分も救うことです
➔ Nominalizer + Explanation/Definition (〜ということ)
➔ The structure "〜ということ" (or "〜ということは", "〜というのは") is used to explain or define something, or to express the meaning or fact of an action or state. It turns a clause into a noun phrase that can be the subject or object of a sentence, often followed by "だ" or "です". Here, it rephrases "saving someone" as a concept: "The fact of saving someone... is the act of saving your past self."
-
何回転んでも立ち上がれ
➔ Conditional 'Even if/though' (〜ても) + Imperative (〜ろ/れ)
➔ The "〜ても" (te-form + も) construction means "even if," "even though," or "no matter how/what." It indicates that a certain outcome will occur regardless of the condition. "立ち上がれ" is the plain imperative form of "立ち上がる" (to stand up), giving a direct command or strong encouragement: "No matter how many times you fall, stand up!"
-
だって私は そう 私だもん
➔ Emphatic Reason (だって〜だもん)
➔ "だって" is an informal conjunction meaning "because" or "but then," often used to provide a reason or a counter-argument. "〜だもん" is an informal sentence-ending particle that also gives a reason, often with a slightly softer, more personal, or sometimes childish nuance, asserting a personal truth. Together, they create an emphatic and personal explanation: "Because I am, after all, me."
-
人生これっきり 一度っきり
➔ 'Only/Just' (〜っきり)
➔ The suffix "〜っきり" is attached to nouns, verbs (in ta-form or dictionary form), or counters to express "only," "just," or "no more than," emphasizing exclusivity or limitation. It's an informal expression, often used when something is finite or limited to a single occurrence: "Life is just this once, just one time."
-
生きているだけで すごいことだから
➔ 'Just by/Merely by' (〜だけで)
➔ "〜だけで" (plain form verb/noun + だけで) means "just by doing..." or "merely by being..." It indicates that an action or state is sufficient to cause a certain result or to be noteworthy. It highlights the simplicity or minimum requirement for something to happen: "Just by being alive, it's an amazing thing."
-
なんと言われても 諦めぬ
➔ 'Even if told...' (〜と言われても) + Literary Negative (〜ぬ)
➔ "〜と言われても" is a common phrase meaning "even if one is told..." or "no matter what is said." It uses the passive form of 言う (to say), followed by the "even if" conditional "〜ても". "諦めぬ" is a classical/literary negative form of "諦める" (to give up). While "〜ない" is standard, "〜ぬ" adds a more formal, emphatic, or poetic tone, often found in older texts, songs, or proverbs: "No matter what I'm told, I won't give up."
-
すなわち とにかく倍倍アクティブ
➔ 'Namely/In other words' (すなわち) + 'Anyway/In any case' (とにかく)
➔ "すなわち" is a formal conjunction meaning "namely," "in other words," or "that is to say." It is used to rephrase or clarify a preceding statement. "とにかく" is an adverb meaning "anyway," "in any case," "at any rate," or "above all else." It indicates a decisive action or attitude, often implying that other factors are secondary. Together, they emphasize a concise and active conclusion: "In other words, anyway, double-double active."
-
躓いて もがいて 強くなるんだ
➔ Te-form linking + Explanatory んです/んだ
➔ The te-form of verbs (e.g., "躓いて", "もがいて") is used here to link sequential or parallel actions, indicating a natural flow or progression. "〜んだ" (or "〜んです" in polite speech) is an explanatory or emphatic ending. It adds nuance by providing a reason, explanation, or context, making a statement sound more personal, assertive, or seeking agreement. Here, it implies "it is (the case that) you become stronger by stumbling and struggling": "Stumbling, struggling, you become stronger."
