OOOH FUN JAPANESE LEARNING UPDATE
#the simplest thing but it's progress!!!!#watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood in Japanese rn and I translated a phrase instantly#it was translated in subtitles as ''get out of my way'' but I knew that that phrase was actually 邪魔だ#''jama da''#''jama'' means ''obstacle/hindrance'' and has the connotation of ''annoying thing in the way''#''da'' is the sentence ending for ''is''; ''da'' is distinctly casual/abrupt in tone (there are other more polite ways to say ''is'')#so literally speaking ''jama da'' is an EXTREMELY abrupt way of saying ''[YOU'RE] BEING AN OBSTACLE''#and it's a very simple very short phrase but I translated it immediately in my head and :3 hehe yay#Robin learns Japanese
