I’m sure you are, and it certainly is! Thank you so much @Kazzeon! I’m in awe of your knowledge, and your amazing kindness in sharing it. And you explain it in a way that I can actually understand this complicated stuff! Amazing! Thank you so much!
When I read it, I was just like, “Yeah, whatever.” Without paying too much attention.
But, when you asked, I was like, “Dang, he’s right. What even is this, and how do I explain it?”
Google is your friend, although I did have a hard time finding information about it.
I really like your questions because they remind me of stuff I didn’t quite get, and I love explaining stuff.
This. I tend to go “yep, I get the gist” and move on, which is fine if I’m just trying to read a passage in the wild, but when I’m reading specifically to learn, I probably should pay more attention.
I’m pretty sure he’s making a sound effect with his mouth to simulate the strong impact of the badminton shuttle on the ground. It hits the ground so hard you have to unbury it, or something.
Yotsuba: よつばがみたのがあってるなら。。。= “If what I (Yotsuba) saw is right…” (合う)
Dad and Jumbo: うんうん、よつばが見たのでいいんだ = “yeah, yeah, because it would be good if you saw it”
Am I on the right lines here?

つーかずっと女だって言ってんだろ
つーか - ???
ずっと - all along???
女 - woman
だ - is
って言って - said
んだろ - because
Page 21: I think that’s a decent understanding. But if we were being more exact, the second line is more along the lines of:
“Yeah, yeah, whatever you saw is good.” Essentially meaning they’re going to let her make the final call.
Page 23:
The つーか can’t exactly be translated, but it’s essentially a word?/sound? that indicates that you object to something that was said previously.
ずっと女だって言ってんだろ means: “I’ve said I was a girl the whole time!”
Also, Hi! I’m new to this thread, but I love Yotsubato!
You clearly do! Thank you so much for your wonderful help, I really appreciate it, and welcome to the Yotsuba Reading Club! It is brilliant having you here!
Or me, I can do it if people are fine with it. I was actually just about to ask about this in the main thread xD
ETA it looks like some had already been moved anyway, so I went ahead and moved the rest
We’ll be moving this thread to the new reading section in 7 days.
The reading section will allow us to increase exposure of our reading club. However, since it will be publicly indexed by search engines (as opposed to private, the way Campfire threads are), if there’s anything you’d like to delete or edit out, now’s your chance.
A fine question. I am not quite sure either, but I would say that external search engines are easier to use than Discourse’s. At the very least, we’d be able to find things more easily.
