Grammar:
-
人生って舐めると甘い味がするの
➔ Colloquial topic marker "って" and explanatory particle "の"
➔ The particle "って" (contracted from と言うのは/というのは) is used informally to introduce a topic or express something heard/thought. The particle "の" at the end of a sentence adds an explanatory or questioning nuance, often making the sentence softer or seeking confirmation. Here, "人生って" introduces "life" as the topic, and "するの" makes the statement explanatory.
-
裏技使えばイージーモード
➔ "~ば" (conditional form)
➔ The "~ば" form is one of the conditional forms in Japanese, often used for general conditions, habitual actions, or when the result naturally follows the condition. It connects a verb or adjective to a subsequent clause. Here, "使えば" means "if you use".
-
気持ちがいいなら劇薬も飲んでいいの
➔ "~ていい" (permission 'may/can')
➔ The construction "V-て form + いい" expresses permission or that something is acceptable. "飲んでいい" means "you may drink" or "it's okay to drink".
-
僕の教えに従順な君を愛してあげるよ
➔ "~てあげる" (benefactive verb, doing something for someone)
➔ The construction "V-て form + あげる" indicates that the speaker (or the subject) performs an action for the benefit of another person. Here, "愛してあげる" means "I will love you (for your benefit/as a favor)".
-
好きになっちゃう
➔ "~ちゃう" (contraction of "~てしまう" - completion/unintentional action)
➔ "~ちゃう" is a colloquial contraction of "~てしまう". It expresses an action that is completed, often with a nuance of regret, trouble, or an unintentional outcome. Here, "好きになっちゃう" means "I'll end up liking (you)" or "I can't help but like (you)".
-
依存すんなって
➔ "~な" (negative imperative) and "~って" (colloquial quotative particle)
➔ The plain form of a verb followed by "~な" creates a strong negative imperative, meaning "Don't do X". The particle "~って" (a colloquial form of "と言う") is used to quote or report what someone says, or what is generally said/thought. Here, "すんなって" means "(they say) don't do it / don't be dependent".
-
言っても無駄さ
➔ "~ても" (concessive conditional 'even if/even though')
➔ The "V-て form + も" construction expresses a concessive conditional, meaning "even if X happens, Y will still be the case" or "even though X, Y". Here, "言っても" means "even if I/you say (it)".
-
T氏の言う通り〇しましょう
➔ "~通り" (suffix meaning "as/according to")
➔ The suffix "~通り" is attached to a noun or the plain form of a verb to mean "as X" or "according to X". It indicates that an action or state is exactly as described by X. Here, "言う通り" means "as (T-san) says".
-
騙されていたんです
➔ Passive verb + "~ていた" (state/ongoing action in the past) + "~んです" (explanatory particle)
➔ This complex construction combines several grammar points: "騙される" (damasareru) is the passive form of "騙す" (damasu - to trick); "騙されていた" (damasareteita) uses "~ていた" to indicate a continuous state or action in the past ("was being tricked" or "had been tricked"); and "~んです" (n desu) is an explanatory particle, providing background or reason. Thus, "騙されていたんです" means "It's that I was being tricked" or "The truth is, I had been tricked".
-
枯れないように水をやるといいよ
➔ "~ように" (purpose/in order to)
➔ The "~ように" construction expresses purpose or a desired outcome. When combined with a negative verb (like "枯れない" - not to wither), it means "in order not to..." or "so that X doesn't happen". Here, "枯れないように" means "in order not to wither" or "so that they don't wither".
