Teasing Master Takagi-san 😝 ・ Volume 4 Discussion Thread [Volume Complete]

What does this mean? And how would you translate that sentence then?
そしたら私におこらなくていい→ “if that’s the case, it’s fine よく to become なる ‘untreated’ おごらなくて” (literally)
And in this case what would the のに sense be?

私におごらなくていい it’s ok if you don’t treat me to something

なる to become

のに even though

Becomes 私におごらなくてよくなる because you change いい to よい so you can add なる

Even though it will become so it’s ok if you don’t treat me to something

Even though you won’t have to treat me anymore

Feels forced af to me, don’t know why, but I will accept it :ok_hand: thanks!

Well, if you don’t know why, can’t really help you.

The ていい part?

よくなる?

It’s the order of the words in the sentence and the way they interact, I didn’t expect it this way

おごられなくてよくなる

Is いい in the よく form merely for conjunction?

Anyway, i can work around it :ok_hand:

Yeah.

Minor question, is it いい ?

Yes, that is correct. Sometimes か will look a bit similar when handwritten, but the direction of the line above the loopy bit (scientific term) is your hint as to whether it is や or か. They go opposite directions. Plus the loopy bit will usually be bigger with か also, not cutting off so high on the line.

Did I get it right?

I based on the loopy bit to guess the や but actually didn’t think at all of the か… haven’t saw it yet, I guess rhey’re very similar

Yes, you got that panel right.

With messy handwriting, they can be similar, but it’s usually quite obvious, regardless. I’ve only had one or two moments where I had to pause and look again to confirm (but I’ve also still only seen handwriting in manga, so could be that there are some folks with awful handwriting I wouldn’t be able to read at all!)

Yes, I can imagine that, most likely :joy:

Also I guess the translation for that line is

"When I treated Takagi-san, for me to buy (one), money ended. (there is a なんて missing but I didn’t know where to put it, but it’s not important).
At first I got 100% tricked into thinking that たら was if, but this time appears to be “when”

What does this mean? :thinking:

Oh, man. Reading students’ notes is pretty fun.

Usually not that bad, but…

Now that you ask, it’s something that went unnoticed but I have no clue
I can’t understand well how the や particle works

いい is good :wink:

Edit: was it いい (fine) + や particle or いいや as nay?

2 Likes

To buy mine, money ran out

なんて to think that

いい や

Also not the や particle, as in to list stuff

Somewhere back in the earlier volumes, we came across this や sentence ender… Volume 2, maybe?

But anyway, specifically with いい, it basically behaves no differently than just いいよ, or like まぁ、いいっか, in my experience.

Edit: It also gets discussed a bit in Volume 5. :stuck_out_tongue:

I can only imagine. :laughing:

By the way, here are some か from this mangaka:

a script I do use… has been helpful with reading, the more handwritten manga fonts though I come across the easier it is to sort of expect a certain word (happens for most people in their native lang naturally) so reading isn’t necessarily as bad the more you do…

Yes, I forgot the ‘ran out’ expression :joy:

But literally it’s ‘something like’ in a bad or surprised sense, right?

How much I’d like to try this, but I’m from phone :smiling_face_with_tear:

Haha, I know. Just figured he didn’t ask, so either he knew or ignored it.

Kind of.

(To think that) something like my money running out when I treated Takagi (would happen)
