Key Grammar Structures

• 偽ってる彼奴は

  ➔ Te-iru form (ている) for progressive/continuous action; Noun + wa (は) as topic marker.

  ➔ "偽ってる" (usotteru) is the te-iru form of 偽る (usowaru), meaning "to lie." 彼奴 (ayatsu) means "that guy/person." The "wa" marks "that lying guy" as the topic of the sentence.

• 天に堕ちていった

  ➔ Ni (に) particle indicating direction; Te-iku (ていく) form showing movement away from the speaker or a process going away.

  ➔ "天に" (ten ni) means "to heaven." "堕ちていった" (ochite itta) is the past tense of 堕ちていく (ochite iku), meaning "to fall away/downward." The te-iku suggests the falling is going away from the speaker in time or space.

• 皆に愛されてたらしい

  ➔ Ni (に) particle indicating the receiver of an action; Passive form (～れる/られる); Rashii (らしい) indicating hearsay or conjecture.

  ➔ "皆に" (minna ni) means "by everyone." "愛されてた" (aisareteta) is the past tense passive form of 愛する (aisuru), meaning "to be loved." "らしい" (rashii) means "it seems/apparently/I heard."

• それだけで今日も

  ➔ Sore dake de (それだけで) - "just with that"; Mo (も) - also/too/even; Kyou (今日) - today

  ➔ "それだけで" (sore dake de) means "just with that/only because of that." The addition of "も" (mo) to "今日も" (kyou mo) emphasizes that "even today"...

• 生きる傷みを思い知らされる

  ➔ Verb (stem form) + を + Object + shirasareru (～知らされる) = To be made to realize/know; Passive form (～れる/られる)

  ➔ "生きる傷みを思い知らされる" (ikiru itami wo omoishirasareru) translates to "I am made to realize/feel the pain of living." The causative-passive form "shirasareru" expresses that the speaker is being made to experience something.

• こうして欲しいが聞きたい

  ➔ Verb (Te-form) + hoshii (欲しい) - expresses a desire that someone else do something; Ga (が) - contrastive particle; Verb (stem) + tai (たい) - desire to do something

  ➔ "こうして欲しい" (koushite hoshii) means "I want you to do this." "聞きたい" (kikitai) means "I want to hear." The "ga" emphasizes the contrast between wanting someone to do something and wanting to do something oneself.

• 正直になれない

  ➔ Adjective + ni naru (になる) - to become; Verb (nai-form) - negative form of a verb

  ➔ "正直になれない" (shoujiki ni narenai) means "cannot become honest" or "cannot be honest." It's the negative form of becoming honest.

• 色々と遅れては奪われる

  ➔ To + verb = if/when; Passive form (～れる/られる);

  ➔ okureru TO ubarawareru: okureru is to be late, and ubarawareru means that (something) is taken away (by someone).
