  • SPY x FAMILY Vol.4 Ch.19

A-nya is getting forced to be married ?

  • うたわれるもの

Resting time in a daze. I might hold back on some vocabulary genre.

Interesting words
  • はがす = to tear off. From 剥(は)がす (or 剝(は)がす, probably the first Kanji to know of having a different unicode form and then electronic dictionary failure)
  • ごまかす = to lie about. Kanji form is 誤魔化(ごまか)す.
  • ふりだし = starting point. From 振(ふ)り出(だ)し.
  • じゃれる(.) = to joke around
  • たたずむ = to stand still. Kanji form is 佇(たたず)む.
  • はしゃぐ = to be merry. Kanji form is 燥(はしゃ)ぐ.
  • めっぽう = extraordinarily. Kanji form is 滅法(めっぽう).
  • たわいのない = absurd. Kanji form is 他愛(たわい)の無(な)い, where the particle might be different or dropped.
  • ～公(こう) = name suffix, of a lord?
  • 姑(しゅうとめ) = mother-in-law. From 舅(しゅうと) + 女(め) (乙女(おとめ))?     嫁姑(よめしゅうとめ) later on in context.
  • 跳(と)ぶ = to jump; to leap (rather than, to fly = 飛(と)ぶ)
  • 凝(こ)らす= to focus on
  • 色(いろ)っぽい = voluptuous. Probably like 色気(いろけ) in the same context just before.
  • きな臭(くさ)い = smelling burnt. Probably from incense in this case.
  • 門構(もんがま)え = style of a gate. Also means gate radical.
  • 風情(ふぜい) = elegance; charm. Also means, the likes of, as posted before.
