Did I translate right?

[munzy]

Thank you for the explanation I will consider again the way to translate, even if I already do all these things you explain to me... before I read the entire phrase, and often I start to guess starting from the end of the phrase , but stilll sometimes I have doubts sometimes, because I have always this sensation of doubt that I will never know if it's correct or not...


For example here another phrase, even if I start from the end, I have problem to understand because,
子守歌でも歌おうと思います (I don't understand how to translate that "と")

I don't understand if its:
子守歌で も歌おうと思います (comoriuta de)
子守歌でも歌おうと思います (demo)

子守歌でも歌おうと思います
but I think I'll sing a lullaby

子守歌でも歌おうと思います
I think I'll sing also with a lullaby


see also what's the thing confuse me?
Please help me in those other phrases, so that I can study also from my mistakes.

子守歌でも歌おうと思っている

子守歌 lullabye
でも even
歌おう shall sing
と [makes what precedes it what you are thinking]
思っている thinking

I'm thinking of singing even a lullabye. OR
I think I shall sing even a lullabye!

Maybe the person is thinking about what to sing for a voice recital, and he's saying he thinks he might even sing a lullabye!

This is a subtle thing that maybe I can't explain outside of English, and you might need Italian to understand. I can't explain in Italian.

Also, 子守歌 is komamoriuta.

Thank you so much! I learn a new thing about the "と"
when it's near words like "と思います"

it's something you are thinking about and not "to" and, if, when etc...

Thank you so much! See? For each phrase I learn always new things!




I read now the exact word, is not comuriuta is komoriuta 子守歌 (こもりうた) pardon!

3) 風邪しんどい
bothersome cold...


4)眠れない人　手をあげて
the person who can't sleep　 raise the hand


5) 眠れない人が結構いるみたいなので・・・・
because it's splendid that there's a sort of people who can't sleep ...
子守歌でも歌おうと思います
I think to sing also a lullaby


6) すっぴんですが元気ですの図


7) 王子たるもの部屋着はバスローブ（王宮にいる時）
the prince which he is also in the dressing room bathrobe (when it's in
the palace)
もしくはadidasです
it's adidas otherwise? ?

8) お腹が空いていては戦えない！
The stomach in the sky no battle!!! (what mean?? There's few context, simply that the person had a meal with other people)


9)壁に飾ってくれてるのかな
I should let decorate the/in the wall?


10)... 神メロディを探しての旅路は続く・・・
...God melody journey's search continue...

What's mean どり after the word uta? I can't translate this phrase at all ;_;

That's still wrong. It's komamoriuta. 守る is mamoru, not moru.

Thanks. I'm glad I've never had to use that word before. Still, it's surprising: Where did the ま go in 守る then? Just contracted away?

And I really love your new sig.

The term "child care" has always been こもり sound-wise and it's a 大和言葉. When we adopted kanji, someone just used 守 for the も（or　もり） part. So, it may look like a contraction but it really isn't.

Gotcha. Thanks! Does this count as 当て字 or not? 当て字、好きじゃねぇ！
