Ah, finally back to reading every day. Last month of uni was a bit crazy. I started strong by being too sick to study for a week and promptly fell behind in all my classes, then it was just one obligatory assignment after the other so only now am I in a position to start catching up on the (university) reading I’ve missed. But I’m still going to try to translate at least one よつば-page a day going forward:)
よつばとvol1, cha4, pp135 🍀

前のテレビよつばちゃんちにあげようと思って
I was thinking of giving the old TV to Yotsuba’s household
あー、いいよ、いいよ。持ってっちゃって邪魔だから
A- that’s good, that’s good. Since (だから) having it is a hindrance/nuisance.
(Not sure what ちゃって means/is doing, Jisho wasn’t helpful)
あら、わーかわいい！あなたがよつばちゃんね！
Oh, whaa- so cute! You’re Yotsuba, right!
そうです！
That’s right!
うちの子とも仲よくしてね
You’re getting along with my kids aren’t you?
遊びにきていいか⁉︎
Is it alright if I come over and play!?
(Or maybe she’s asking if it’s okay that she’s been coming over? That way the next sentence could mean “it’s fine, it’s fine if you keep coming over too”)
いいわよー、毎日きても
It’s fiiine, (You can) come every day
まいにちきていいって‼︎
It’s fine if I come over every day!!
よかったなぁ、お礼言いなさい
That’s good isn’t it, you have to thank her
うん、アイスクリームください‼︎
Yes, can I have some ice cream please!!
あら、いいわよー
Ah, of course~

Does anyone know a good resource for studying/reading about common kana-only words? They’re kicking my butt in Anki
