Key Grammar Structures
-
かっこいいから好きなんじゃない。
➔ 〜から (reason) + んじゃない (colloquial rhetorical negative)
➔ The particle "から" shows the reason: "because it’s cool". "んじゃない" is a colloquial ending that softens a statement into a rhetorical question, similar to "isn’t it?".
-
好きだからかっこいいんだよ。
➔ 〜だから (because) + んだよ (explanatory の + だよ)
➔ "だから" gives the reason "because I love it". "んだよ" combines the explanatory の with だよ, adding emphasis and a sense of personal assertion: "that’s why it’s cool, you know!"
-
誰かにバカにされてもなんともない。
➔ ても (even if) + なんともない (nothing at all)
➔ "ても" attaches to a verb to mean “even if …”. "なんともない" expresses that something does not affect the speaker at all: "Even if someone makes fun of me, it doesn't matter."
-
だってあたしのヒーロー。
➔ だって (because, after all) used as informal reason
➔ Here "だって" works like “because” or “after all”, emphasizing that the speaker herself is “my hero”. It is a casual, spoken way to give a reason.
-
いつも「眠い。」って言うくせに、授業は起きてるとことか。
➔ くせに (despite, even though) + とことか (listing examples, “such as …”)
➔ "くせに" expresses a contradiction: "even though you always say 'I'm sleepy'". "とことか" is a colloquial way to give examples, similar to "such as".
-
みんなの前ではクールなのに、犬の前ではデレデレなのとことか。
➔ なのに (although) + とことか (example listing)
➔ "なのに" shows a contrast: "although I'm cool in front of everyone, I'm soft with dogs". "とことか" again lists an example, similar to "such as".
-
私だけのヒーローになってよ。
➔ て form + よ (soft request/emphasis)
➔ "なって" is the て‑form of "なる" (to become). Adding "よ" makes the request sound gentle yet insistent: "Become *my* hero, please!"
-
LINEだってしたいし、
➔ だって (also, even) used for adding another item
➔ "だって" here works like "also" or "even" – "I also want to use LINE". It adds another desire to the list of wishes.
-
振り向いて欲しくて、意識して欲しくて、
➔ て form + 欲しい (to want someone to do) double request
➔ "欲しくて" attaches to the て‑form of a verb to mean “I want you to …”. Repeating it emphasizes multiple wishes: "I want you to turn around, I want you to notice me".
