Please take my explanations with a grain of salt. I'm still learning as well, and I simply hope my ramblings will be an interesting way to make vocabulary stick more easily. Actual dictionary websites will always give more accurate descriptions, so it's recommended to check them if you're not a casual learner.
0:12 ラストダイブ: Last Dive 葛葉 「ちょっと待って、ラストダイブ行ける、俺」 > Hold on, I can go for a Last Dive. I thought this was some type of common phrase like "last spurt" or "last resort", but turns out it's just a reference to something from Made in Abyss. Lol
0:18 あんま: not really 叶 「ジンジャーエールとか飲める人？」 > Does anyone here drink ginger ale? 葛葉 「ジンジャーあんまだね」 > I don't really drink ginger. 16:08 葛葉 「俺、小豆あんまだったわ…」 > I'm not really into red beans... Saying あんま is really common in daily conversation! Sometimes it can mean "I don't feel like it" or "meh", etc. In general, I think it's more often used than あんまり.
0:37 ずっしり: heavily, profoundly イブラヒム 「ズッシリ来た？」 > Is that the thick one? 不破 「ズシってるね、これ」 > That's very heavy. I'm pretty sure this isn't usually used to describe food? The other examples I see include wet clothes that become heavy, bags filled with books, thick dictionaries, the plump bodies of reptiles, etc. Isn't it super hard to translate "来る"? Ibrahim says literally "heavy came" here which makes zero sense in English. I think Fuwa has the habit of saying things are "ている"(basically "-ing" in English) even when it's grammatically strange. Imagine it as adding "-ing" to adjectives. "Wow, the sky is so orange today." "It's oranging?" ← ?? 「ズシってるね」 = It's thicking, huh. ← ?? By the way, ~てる and ~ている are the same things, the former being casual writing. I got curious and searched if Zushiri's name has anything to do with this word, but the Wiki doesn't say anything, so probably not.
0:47 伊勢海老(いせいえび): Japanese Spiny Lobster 葛葉 「伊勢海老入ってる？」 > Is there a lobster in this? Kuzuha is exclaiming that the shrimp burger is ridiculously large, and omitting the full name of the lobster still got that across, so I took it out in the subtitles. This line makes even more sense if you know that "shrimp" in Japanese is "えび", and the spiny lobster is also an えび... even though it's a lobster. Apparently, "lobsters" are just called "ロブスター"? Is this why I somehow associate Yusuke(P5) with both lobsters and shrimps...?? I haven't finished the game yet. I wonder if there are animal names in English that are also so commonly used that they're referenced like this, too. Grizzly bears? Clownfish?
1:01 どっち: which 叶 「チリ、か…」 > It's chili, or... 葛葉 「どっちも辛い？」 > Are they both spicy? I wanted to point out that "どっち" is used when there are 2 options, and "どれ" is used when there are over 3 options. When ordering at a restaurant, I once asked a Japanese friend, "どっちにする？" and they got confused because I didn't give them 2 specific options.
1:03 いうて: even so 葛葉 「チリドッグって何？」 > What's a chili dog? イブラヒム 「ちょい辛だね」 > A little spice. 不破 「いうて辛くないでしょ」 > It shouldn't be spicy though, right? More official dictionaries say that this is dialect for 言って, but other ones say it's slang(ish?) for "even so/nevertheless". I kind of had to guess for this subtitle...
1:11 ノリ: mood, spirit, energy, enthusiasm, rhythm, feeling イブラヒム 「こういうノリの」 > This type of vibe. 葛葉 「あー…まあ、」 > Oh... well. 不破 「そういうノリね」 > Oh, that type of vibe. イブラヒム 「名称すんなよ（笑）」 > Don't noun-ify it. What does that mean!? I'm pretty sure that Fuwa is mimicking Ibrahim here, and Ibu tells him to "knock it off, don't make that a thing lol"...? I ended up not subtitling it because it seemed trivial enough. Note: ～んな is a casual way say certain negative forms. 見るな→見んな(link of Zuha saying it: 9:59) するな→すんな ノリ is a hard word. It's usually used as "mood" or "flow" but I feel like I've been using "vibe" a lot more recently.
1:24 えぐい: insane, crazy I'll never understand this word. Also, they say it with a certain tone in the video. Are they referencing something?
1:57 この期に及ん(このごにおよんで)で: at this point in time 叶 「達成したら、何したい？」 > If we succeed, what do you want to do? 不破 「テキーラ一万円分」 > 10K yen of tequila. 葛葉 「この期に及んで」 > At this point? Someone in my quotes pointed out that Kuzuha might be slightly misuing it here, and I see what they mean. It seems to express a feeling of "it's too late" rather than "why now"... which seems like practically the same thing once I type it out. Hm... The general meaning is still correct, so you can memorize it that way for the JLPT test, haha.
2:20 軽々(かるがる): lightly, easily, carelessly イブラヒム 「もう三個行ったよ、俺は。軽々」 > I've already had three, easily. 葛葉 「…軽々？」 > ...Easily? I wrote nonchalantly in the subtitles which is way funnier. But probably not exactly what the word means. Though if they spoke English, don't you think they'd say something like that? John Chalant In the first place, I'm not even sure if Ibrahim said かるがる. It sounds more like まるがる to me. I'm not sure if Kuzuha is doubting him, or if he genuinely didn't hear him well.
2:43 所持(しょじ): possess; to have 葛葉 「俺はチリドッグを枯れてる、五分も」 > My chili dog has been drying out for 5 minutes. 不破 「所持してる？」 > You have it equipped? イブラヒム 「あー着てるか」 > Oh, you're wearing it. 葛葉 「所持品だね」 > It's an item. Seriously, what does Kuzuha say here...!? I listened to him say the first line a lot of times. To me, it sounds like "俺はチリドッグを枯れてる、五分も" as I wrote above. But the subtitles said "俺はチリドッグを五分持ってる", maybe because they're not 100% sure what he said, either. I went with the latter for the graphic because Twitter is more strict with me(posts end up on timelines of people who don't know me) and I shouldn't write anything I'm not positive about if I don't have space to clarify. Twitter's text limit isn't enough, writing too many words somehow makes me lose interactions, and leaving a message in the replies means not everyone will see it! Anyways, Tumblr has none of those issues. Grammatically, "チリドッグを枯れてる" would be wrong. The correct form would be "チリドッグが枯れてる" or "チリドッグを枯れさせてる"... I think. Not that it matters too much when you're speaking.
3:03 ノルマ: quote, assignment 叶 「二千五百円か、ノルマ」 > I guess the target is 2,500 yen. 3:35 叶 「僕いけるわ、ノルマ」 > I can reach the goal! My teacher asked me for the meaning of this word in class and I got it wrong because I assumed it just meant "norm" so now I'll never forget it.
4:05 ジャン負け(じゃんまけ): rock-paper-scissors match with loser penalty 不破 「ジャン負け一人が三千いってもいい」 > We can play rock-paper-scissors and have the loser eat 3,000. It's crazy how easily you can shorten Japanese words.
4:12 恒例(こうれい) / 損する(そんする): established practice, custom / to lose[money], to waste[time, effort] 葛葉 「不破湊恒例、デスジャンケン」 > The Fuwa Minato custom: Death Rock-Paper-Scissors. 叶 「食ってるやつが損するのやめろって」 > Stop making one eater suffer so much.
4:21 スッと / 重荷(おもに): quickly, gently, refreshed / load, heavy burden 叶 「スッと軽くなった」 > A weight has been lifted. イブラヒム 「なんかね、重荷が」 > The heavy load... 16:03 叶 「思ったよりもスって食えて好き」 > It's way more effortless to eat than I expected, so I like it. Onomatopoeia is so cute. These would be closer to "It's gotten lighter with a su" and "I can eat it with just a su". Swoop, and the food goes down. Memorizing 重荷 might be easier if you remember it's just short for 重い荷物(おもいにもつ).
4:53 叶 「（ようかん）二個いける、あと」 > I can have 1 more. Wanted to add this to the list because you might be thinking, "Why did it say 1 more when he said 2?" I THINK(Not definitive, might need a native speaker's opinion) that the あと here is "later" and not "more," so he's saying "I can get to 2 youkan in total later" instead of "I'm going to have 2 more." If the あと was in front, I'd think otherwise... Or maybe my gut feeling is wrong. There's a thing we call 語感 in Mandarin(and Japanese?) which means language sense, the gut instinct feeling that usually comes with a lot of reading/listening. Kind of how native speakers know how grammar works without knowing the actual rules. I sometimes rely on that, so I'm not a dependable explainer;;
4:54 ～やすい: easy to ~ イブラヒム「そんな食べやすい？」 > It's that easy to eat? 14:23 不破 「モスは野菜良かったね」 > Mos's vegetables were nice. 葛葉「野菜のやつね」 > The vegetable ones, right? イブラヒム 「めっちゃ食べやすいな、あれ」 > They're really easy to eat. 21:37 イブラヒム「リンゴジュースよりの」 > It's closer to apple juice. 葛葉 「果物よりの野菜ジュースなのかな」 > Vegetable juice leaning to fruit, I guess? イブラヒム 「飲みやすいわ」 > It's easy to drink. Something I've always been bothered about in Mandarin is that saying something is "hard to eat" just sounds like saying something "tastes bad"(難吃). You always have to clarify and I'm surprised there hasn't been a new word invented for that.
4:58 ゴリゴリ: vigorously, hard [food], true, real (slang) 不破 「ふんわりスフレパンケーキってあります？」 > Are there any soft souffle pancakes? イブラヒム 「キツイって絶対」 > That one's gotta be tough. 葛葉 「ゴリパンだぜ」 > That's complete bread. I kept thinking of Marcille(DunMeshi) saying she's sick of eating monsters. Turns out that's 懲り懲り(こりごり), and someone had the exact same question.
5:44 ゲテモノ: unconventional/bizzare things 葛葉 「苦手な食べ物探せば？」 > How about finding out what foods you dislike on ROFMAO? 不破 「探した結果、ゲテモノが嫌いだな」 > I did, and found out that I don't like unconventional foods. The opposite of this is 上手物(じょうてもの), quality goods.
6:47 ポテト: fries 叶 「ポテト食べました」 > I finished the fries. 6:55 イブラヒム 「ポテトも二百円くらいすんじゃない」 > Aren't fries also around 200 yen? Just wanted to point out that "poteto" are not potatoes, but fries. Sometimes, it means chips(the junk food one). Potatoes are "じゃがいも" or just "芋(いも)". Fuwa fans know... imokatsu...
7:09 支えあい(ささえあい): to support each other 葛葉 「支えあいだろ！にじさんじはよ！」 > Isn't this a team effort!? That's what Nijisanji is!
7:48 撃破(げきは): defeating, crushing, smashing, destroying 葛葉 「チリドッグ。ウーロン茶。撃破」 > Chili dog. Oolong tea. Destroyed. This is the same "geki" from ROFMAO's "Ichigeki." In a literal kanji sense, 一撃 means one strike, and 撃破 means hit-break.
7:55 偉大(いだい): great, grand, magnificent, outstanding, mighty イブラヒム 「超うまいけど、質量がちょっと偉大過ぎる」 > It's super good, but the volume is a bit too great. I love it when they use adjectives like "magnificent" to describe things that can't be called magnificent. (magnificent volume...?)
8:11 造作もない(ぞうさもない): no trouble, effortless 不破 「俺が本気出したら、造作もない」 > If I get serious, it'll be a piece of cake.
9:21 赤べこ: Akabeko 葛葉 「赤べこみたいになってる」 > He's turning into an Akabeko.
10:05 逆算(ぎゃくさん): calculating backwards 叶 「みんなこれ逆算して、届くものを食べようよ」 > You should calculate it backwards, and eat what would get you to the goal. One of those sentences that are normal length in Japanese but super long in English. They're so good at omitting things... In the first place, 逆算 is short for 逆に計算する anyways, probably. = "Everyone back-calc, eat things that reach"
10:20 アド: ad/address/advantage イブラヒム 「俺一本もドリンク飲み終わってないアドがあるから」 > There's also the advantage of having an unfinished drink, so... 葛葉 「アドなん、それ？」 > That's an advantage?
10:29 コスパ: cost performance, value for one's money 叶 「僕ペプシとジンジャーとコーンスープいったよ」 > I had pepsi, ginger ale, and corn soup. イブラヒム 「コスパ良さそう」 > Sounds like a good combo. 叶 「マック回もそうじゃなかった？ドリンクがめっちゃ良くて、コスパ」 > The drinks were really worth it in the McDonalds ep. 20:02 葛葉 「確かビッグマッ食ったんだけど、ビッグマックがありえんリーズナブルで…」 > If I remember correctly, he ate a Big Mac, but it was a ridiculously reasonable price... イブラヒム 「そう、コスパがちょっと」 > Yeah, the value was... 葛葉 「コスパが良すぎて、俺らからするとコスパが悪かった」 > It was too good of a deal, that it was a bad deal for us. "Cost performance" is a really frequently used word in Mandarin too...! If it has the same nuance in Japanese, then it's likely people use it for non-money-valued things, too. If something is worth it, we say the CP value is high. If it's a bit of a waste of time, we say the CP value is low. No one actually says cost performance in daily English, so it's always replaced with other words when translating.
11:26 騙されたと思って(だまされたとおもって): trust me and ~, just take my word for it and ~ 叶 「騙されたと思って食べてみてよ」 > Just trust me and try eating this. I have no idea how the sentence that means literally "think that you have been tricked, and..." can turn into "just trust me and do it." Was very confused when I heard Kanae say this.
12:08 貸し切る(かしきる): to reserve, charter, book 葛葉 「どこ行きたい？ロケなら」 > For outdoor filming, where would you want to go? 不破 「遊園地貸し切る？」 > Can we reserve an amusement park? 葛葉 「やりすぎだろ」 > That's too much.
12:17 黒字(くろじ) / 赤字(あかじ): surplus, being in the black / deficit, being in the red 不破 「ユニバ行きたい」 > I wanna go to Universal Studios. 葛葉 「ユニバを貸し切る？」 > Reserve Universal? イブラヒム 「絶対黒字に出来ない」 > There'll definitely be zero profit. 葛葉 「超赤字。」 > Totally in the red. Mentioned here, the phrase originates from pen ink.
12:55 最後の一手(さいごのいって): last resort 葛葉 「まさか、ふわっちが最後の一手に」 > Could it be, Fuwacchi, as a final resort...
13:15 ヌルっと: oilily, slimily, slipperily 葛葉 「ヌルっといった」 > It went by smoothly. 17:00 叶 「でも美味しくない？」 > Wasn't it good? 葛葉 「美味しい！」 > It was! 叶 「ヌルっといけるよね」 > It goes down easily, right? Strange if you imagine these sentences as "slimily." Slimily down the throat... This words reminds me of Koro-sensei(AssClass).
16:44 食道(しょくどう): esophagus, gullet 不破 「ケツに溜まってきてんだよね」 > It's piling up in my ass. 葛葉 「ケツ？」 > Ass? イブラヒム 「意味分からん」 > You make no sense. 叶 「食道も腸も超えて？」 > Past your throat and intestine? A common thing in translating Japanese and Mandarin(and maybe other languages!) to English is that there are sometimes words easy to understand only in the source language. 食道 is a word everyone knows because it's just "food-pipe." Same for many other medical terms too, such as orthopedics being 骨科(bone-division/branch) in Mandarin... but what the heck is an esophagus? Also, fun fact: 整形外科 is plastic surgery in Mandarin(zheng-xing-wai-ke), but orthopedics in Japanese(sei-kei-ge-ka). The Japanese for plastic surgery is 形成外科(kei-sei-ge-ka), which sounds ridiculously similar. Memorizing that took years off my lifespan and I still get them mixed up now!! A word with the same reading 食堂(cafeteria).
18:08 貢献 / 界隈: contribution / neighborhood, vicinity; social media community(slang) 葛葉 「貢献してないとさ、やっぱ大食い界隈として…」 > I need to contribute, as someone in the binge-eating field... 界隈 is used to flexibly that I sometimes think it as the word "fandom," lol
19:09 根性比べ: test of endurance(lit. guts comparison) 叶 「ふわっちのフィニッシュで多分この根性比べが終わる」 > If Fuwacchi is finished, then this endurance contest will probably end. 根性 is the thing Yamamoto kept screaming about to Kenma(Haikyuu)... Ohh, Kenma......... Guts
19:30 挙句の果てに / 始末: in the end, on top of all that / end result, outcome 不破 「挙句の果てにミスドではに逃げる始末」 > In the end, this is the outcome of fleeing from Mister Donut. Took me a while to understand this, and I'm still not sure if I translated it right...??
19:57 微妙: subtle, delicate, fine; difficult, complex, tricky; doubtful, questionable, dicey; not great, iffy イブラヒム 「マックの時はまあ…微妙だった」 > The McDonalds one was, well... interesting. The word 微妙 itself is very 微妙 to me. Why are there so many different definition? I hear and use it a lot but still don't really know what it means. Personally... it's like the emotion of "...Hm.???" but in adjective form. (←Totally my own interpretation)
20:37 二日酔い(ふつかよい): hungover 不破 「二日酔いの分足したら、四千円になった」 > If you include the part where I'm hungover, it would be 4,000 yen. 葛葉 「勝手に二日酔いになったやつが… 二日酔いの分とか知らないよ」 > You're the one who went and got hungover on your own... We don't care if you're hungover or what. Hungover = day two drunk(real) Another related word is 酔っ払い(よっぱらい, drunkard)
21:37 より: leaning to, similar to(寄る i-form) イブラヒム 「リンゴジュースよりの」 > Close to apple juice. 葛葉 「果物よりの野菜ジュースなのかな」 > Vegetable juice leaning to fruits. Very easily confused with より that means "than/rather." If Ibrahim had said "リンゴジュースより ~ " then it'd mean "more ~ than apple juice." Was pointed out in this tweet.
21:45 伏兵: ambush 叶 「いいアシスト決めたと思ったんだけど、伏兵がいたわ」 > I thought I was being helpful, but turns out there was an ambush.
22:34 駆け巡る: to run about, to rush about 葛葉 「果物と野菜が体を駆け巡る」 > Fruits and vegetables are rushing through my body. I still don't know when to use を and when to use に or で. It's "公園を散歩する" but "公園で遊ぶ." Same here, "体を駆け巡る" instead of "体で駆け巡る"... Why......
If you read the entire post, I am proud and also very surprised(!?) that my notes are helpful/interesting enough to keep you for that long!!! I hope to upload one list for each clip I make, so look out for future updates (^^ ♪
I ate 3 kinds of cake today.
