Key Grammar Structures

• 鼻の高さがなんだという？

  ➔ 「という」 used to quote or ask “what do you mean by …?”

  ➔ The phrase "という" turns the preceding clause into a quoted question.

• でも逃げ出したくなる夜もあるのよ

  ➔ 「ても」 concessive “even if …”, combined with 「も」 “also/even”.

  ➔ The particle "ても" shows a concession ("even if"), and "も" adds the nuance of "also" – "even nights when you want to run away exist".

• 大臣たちはこの国乗っ取ることしか頭にないのよ

  ➔ 「しか…ない」 expresses “only … and nothing else”.

  ➔ The pattern "しか…ない" limits the subject to a single thing – "they have nothing but the idea of seizing the country".

• 王宮脱出 命からがら 隣国潜伏 なんてみじめなの

  ➔ 「からがら」 means “barely, just barely”.

  ➔ Here "命からがら" uses "からがら" to indicate doing something with the smallest margin of safety – "escaping the palace with barely a life left".

• 愚鈍な弟すっかり騙され

  ➔ Passive form 「騙され」 (to be deceived).

  ➔ "騙され" is the passive of "騙す" – the brother was completely deceived.

• 私の命狙って

  ➔ Verb‑te form 「狙って」 indicating purpose or sequence ("to aim at").

  ➔ "狙って" is the te‑form of "狙う" used to link actions – "aiming at my life".

• 民が守れるなら

  ➔ Conditional 「〜なら」 meaning “if/when”.

  ➔ "なら" attaches to the verb phrase "守れる" to form a conditional – “if the people can be protected”.

• ファラオとは人を殺めるために有るのではなくて民を守るために立ち上がるもの

  ➔ Contrastive 「ではなくて」 meaning “not … but …”.

  ➔ "ではなくて" links two clauses, negating the first and presenting the second as the true statement – "not to kill people, but to protect them".

• 戦などしたことないのよ

  ➔ Particle 「など」 used for downplaying or indicating “such as”.

  ➔ "など" follows "戦" to suggest that “war” is just one example among many things the speaker hasn’t done – “I’ve never done something like war”.
