Key Grammar Structures
-
ねぇ血の気を引かせてあげる
➔ Causative form with "ageru" (giving a favor)
➔ The causative form "引かせる" (to make someone withdraw/drain) indicates causing someone to do something. "～てあげる" indicates performing an action for someone's benefit, or in this context, forcefully applying an action *to* someone. "血の気を引かせてあげる" means "to make someone's blood run cold" or "to drain the color from their face."
-
気をつけないと
➔ Informal negative obligation ("nai to")
➔ "気をつけない" is the negative form of "気をつける" (to be careful). Adding "と" creates a conditional clause implying an obligation. The full phrase "気をつけないといけない" (must be careful) is colloquially shortened to "気をつけないと". It conveys a warning or necessity.
-
付いちゃってるよ、パラサイト
➔ Contraction of "te shimau" and "te iru" (casual speech)
➔ "付いちゃってる" is a colloquial form of "付いてしまっている". "付く" means "to be attached" or "to cling". "～てしまう" adds a nuance of completion, or sometimes regret/unintended outcome, contracted to "～ちゃう". "～ている" indicates a continuous state or result, contracted to "～てる". Here, it emphasizes the undeniable fact that something (the parasite) has indeed become attached.
-
何に勝気なのか少しばかり私分からぬ
➔ Embedded question with "no ka" and classical negative "nu"
➔ "何に勝気なのか" functions as a noun clause (what they are so eager/determined about). "～のか" is used to embed a question within a larger sentence. "分からぬ" is an older, more literary or poetic form of "分からない" (do not understand), often used for stylistic effect or to convey a stronger, slightly detached negative.
-
真似っこの話すんならクオリティーが足りない
➔ Informal conditional "n nara"
➔ "話すんなら" is a casual contraction of "話すのなら" (if you're going to talk about it). "～のなら" is used to state a condition or premise, often implying a logical consequence or a strong opinion given that condition. Here, it implies: "If you're talking about imitating me, then..."
-
でもあんた英語がなってないの気になっちゃってて仕方がない
➔ Complex sentence with nominalizer, multiple contractions, and "te shikata ga nai"
➔ This line combines several advanced casual grammar points. "なってない" (not good/not up to par). "の" nominalizes the preceding clause ("英語がなってないこと"). "気になっちゃってて" combines "気になる" (to be concerned), "～てしまう" (result/completion) contracted to "～ちゃう", and the te-form of "～てしまって" contracted to "～ちゃってて". "仕方がない" means "it can't be helped". So, "気になっちゃってて仕方がない" means "I can't help but be concerned about it."
-
私がどれだけ残酷（冷たく）なれるか見てみる？
➔ Potential form, embedded question, and "te miru" (try doing)
➔ "なれる" is the potential form of "なる" (to become), meaning "can become". "どれだけ～か" is a common pattern for embedded questions, meaning "how much/to what extent...". "見てみる" means "to try seeing" or "to see what happens." The combination asks, "Do you want to see how cruel I can become?"
-
滞納家賃払ってもらわなきゃ
➔ "Te morau" (receiving a favor) + informal negative obligation ("nakya")
➔ "払ってもらう" means "to have someone pay (for me)". "～なきゃ" is a colloquial short form of "～なければならない" or "～ないといけない", meaning "must do" or "have to do." So, "払ってもらわなきゃ" means "I have to make them pay (the overdue rent)."
-
アッツ、叩いとくか、ヤツ猫の餌にするか
➔ "Te oku" contraction ("toku") and "ka" (listing options)
➔ "叩いとく" is a casual contraction of "叩いておく" (to hit and leave it/prepare to hit). "～ておく" indicates an action performed in preparation or for a certain state to be maintained. "～か、～か" is a common informal way to list options or make suggestions ("should I do A, or should I do B?"). "猫の餌にする" means "to make into cat food."
-
その腫瘍切った方がいいよ
➔ "Ta hou ga ii" (advice/recommendation)
➔ This is a common and polite way to give advice or make a suggestion. It literally means "the direction of having done [verb] is good," implying that doing the action is the better course of action. "切った方がいい" means "it's better to cut (it)."
