Key Grammar Structures
-
血泥ついたって守りたい
➔ ~tatte (colloquial ~temo)
➔ This is a colloquial contraction of "~ても" (even if/though), used with the past tense of verbs or adjectives. It expresses a condition that doesn't prevent the main action or state. Here, "ついたって" means "even if it's covered in blood and mud."
-
革命道中 だって 君に夢中
➔ ~datte (explanation/emphasis)
➔ This "~だって" is a colloquial particle used to give a reason or explanation, similar to "~だから" or "~なのだ". It can also add emphasis. Here, it implies "It's the revolutionary journey (and that's why) I'm crazy about you."
-
身の程わきまえてちゃ出来ないね
➔ ~techa (contraction of ~te wa)
➔ This is a colloquial contraction of "~ていては" (if one is doing X, then Y will not be possible/is difficult). It expresses a negative consequence of an ongoing action or state. Here, "わきまえてちゃ" means "if you act appropriately/know your place (then you can't do it)."
-
不器用な君にも期待しちゃうよ
➔ ~chau (contraction of ~te shimau)
➔ This is a colloquial contraction of "~てしまう". It indicates that an action is completed, often completely or unexpectedly. It can also imply regret, or simply describe an action happening naturally or unintentionally. Here, "期待しちゃう" means "I can't help but expect" or "I find myself expecting."
-
しがみつけば 消えそうな火に
➔ ~ba (conditional form)
➔ This is one of the conditional forms in Japanese, meaning "if" or "when." It's often used when the condition and the result have a logical or natural connection, or to express a general truth. "しがみつけば" means "if/when I cling to it."
-
消えそうな火に
➔ ~sou (appearance/likelihood)
➔ Attached to the stem of verbs or adjectives, "~そう" expresses that something "looks like" or "seems like" a certain state or action is about to happen, or is likely to happen, based on observation. "消えそうな" means "looks like it's about to disappear" or "seems like it's going to go out."
-
あぁ泣けるぜ
➔ ~eru/~rareru (potential/emotive)
➔ This form (potential verb conjugation) typically means "can do" or "is able to do." However, with certain verbs like 泣く (to cry), it can also express an emotional reaction or feeling, meaning "it makes one want to cry" or "I feel like crying."
-
なりふり構わず側にいたい
➔ ~wazu (without doing X)
➔ A formal or literary negative form, meaning "without doing X" or "regardless of X." It indicates that the action in the main clause proceeds without being affected by the condition described by the preceding verb. "なりふり構わず" means "without caring about appearances/what others think."
-
呪いも病も君となら
➔ ~to nara (conditional: if with X)
➔ This conditional form specifies "if it's with X" or "in the case of X." It implies that the action or possibility described in the latter part of the sentence is only valid under the specific condition mentioned with "~と". "君となら" means "if it's with you."
-
絶句しちゃうまで離れない
➔ ~made (until/up to)
➔ The particle "~まで" indicates a limit or an endpoint in time or space, meaning "until" or "up to." When used with a verb, it means "until the action X happens." "絶句しちゃうまで" means "until I'm completely speechless (due to overwhelming emotion)."
