Key Grammar Structures

• ありがとうの言葉が

  ➔ Subject Marker が (ga)

  ➔ The particle "が" marks "言葉 (kotoba)" (words) as the subject of an implied verb. It indicates what is being focused on or what exists.

• 今日と明日を繋いでいく

  ➔ Transitive verb + ていく (teiku): indicates a continuous action moving towards the future.

  ➔ "繋いでいく (tsunaideiku)" means "to connect and continue". The "ていく" form signifies that the action of connecting is ongoing and will continue into the future. "今日 (kyou)" (today) and "明日 (ashita)" (tomorrow) will continue to be linked.

• きっと私って“その他大勢”

  ➔ って (tte): Informal Topic Marker (colloquial variant of は (wa))

  ➔ "って" marks "私 (watashi)" (I) as the topic of the sentence. It is less formal than "は (wa)" and is often used in casual speech or song lyrics. Here it's like saying "As for me, I'm probably just one of the crowd."

• 幸せ逃げちゃう

  ➔ Verb + ちゃう (chau): Contraction of てしまう (te shima). Indicates completion, regret, or something happening unintentionally.

  ➔ "逃げちゃう (nigechau)" is the contracted form of "逃げてしまう (nigete shimau)", meaning "to run away completely" or "to end up running away". Here, it implies that happiness will unintentionally run away due to her sighing.

• 勇気ある一日を祝福しよう　私に花束を

  ➔ ～しよう (Shiyou): Volitional form (Let's do something)

  ➔ 祝福しよう (shukufuku shiyou) means "Let's celebrate". It expresses the speaker's intention or will to perform the action. The volitional form "～しよう" implies a decision or suggestion.

• ポジティブな言葉が 嫌いな日もある

  ➔ Noun + が + ある (ga aru): There is/are... (Existence of something)

  ➔ "嫌いな日もある (kirai na hi mo aru)" translates to "There are also days when I dislike [positive words]". The "が ある" indicates the existence of such days.

• 雨は止み照らし出す

  ➔ Conjunctive form of verb (止み) used to connect actions. Verb stem + 出す (dasu): to begin to/start to (performing the verb)

  ➔ "止み (yami)" is the noun/stem form of the verb "止む (yamu)" (to stop), used here to connect with the following verb. "照らし出す (terashidasu)" means "to begin to shine" or "to start to illuminate". So, after the rain stops, [something] begins to illuminate.
