In the literal sense 燃やす might be correct. However, the issue is with the context that a burned item means the item is deeply ingrained or committed to memory. I also don’t think that 暗記する or 覚える was appropriate enough so I just write what I can considering my lack of extensive vocabulary. Anyways, thanks for the try though.

Yeah, in that sense 燃やす is definitely too literal, I didn’t really think about why it was called “burned” in English (makes perfect sense now that I know, but for some reason it didn’t cross my mind). I did some searching and apparenty 焼き付ける can mean “to burn into one’s memory” - so 焼き付けていた物 might be appropriate.

Thanks! That’s interesting, it seems that the word means you’re cooking or baking it into memory.

Well, 焼く can mean more than cooking or baking, it can also mean burning (not as in incinerate but as in charring or like burning toast) - wood burning (as in art) for instance is 焼杉版. I think that’s the meaning that expression uses.

Actually not sure if this works:
ペリカンは勝てた惜敗しっぱなしです。
Is it OK to modify the noun used as a する verb like that – 惜敗 “close loss” preceded by 勝てた “could have won”? (e: might be considered redundant since that’s basically what 惜敗 implies but still curious about the grammar)
っぱなし
“The Pelicans keep losing close games that they could have won.”
Vmasu + っぱなし: to “keep doing” with intransitive verbs or, with a transitive verb, to do and leave in the resulting state; always have the connotation that the result is undesirable. Creates a noun, so used with appropriate particles or the copula.
Ok. TIL. Though, baking something into memory is a good mnemonic.

I’m not sure preceding it with 勝てた works - I think you may be able to modify the nouns used for する verbs in that way, but it’s not as if they could have won the defeat, that doesn’t make sense. So if it’s about losing games you could have won I’d be inclined to say 勝てた試合を惜敗する.

I know you wanted to use っぱなし, but my take on what you were trying to say would be something like
ペリカンズは勝ちそうな試合に惜敗しがちです。
So, 勝ちそうな試合 (games where it seems like they will win) and 惜敗しがち (have a tendency to lose in a close result).
に is the particle to mark winning and losing, 試合に勝つ (win a game) 試合に負ける (lose a game)

Thanks to you and @yamitenshi for the help on yesterday’s sentence! Very useful info cause I talk about sports a lot, and I had been looking for an excuse to use ～がち since I read about it in DIJG but never got around to it, that’s perfect.
Today’s:
明日私は二番目のワクチンの注射してもらうはずです。
“I expect to receive my second vaccination tomorrow.”
してもらう work there?

Actually, this is an interesting point. I just checked Jisho and apparently 高校生 is correct, even though the rest of the “student” combos (小学生, 中学生, 大学生, etc.) drop the 校 in favor of 生.

高校生 is correct, yes, but that’s using 高校 which is short for 高等学校 - meaning it’s essentially the same as 大学生 and 小学生 in that sense. 学校生 however does not seem to be a word as far as I can tell - only thing I can find when searching that is 学校生活 meaning school life, but that’s a combination of 学校 and 生活 specifically.
EDIT: It took a while for what you meant to sink in, I though you’d just misread and were commenting as though I’d corrected 高校生 to 学生…
So I figured since 高校 is an abbreviation, 高等学生 would be a word following the same pattern as all the others… But it turns out it’s not, as far as I can tell. That is interesting indeed.

I’m not sure if it’s technically incorrect, but it would definitely be simpler to drop the して and just use 注射をもらう.
