How to say...

DanyFlorence · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hello there, may be this is not the best section or may be this is not the best forum to expose my doubt but I hope you are going to help me.

I was watching Kill Bill volume 1 and I noticed a dialogue between the main character and Gogo, a japanese girl.
There are english subtitles while they speak in japanese and I would like to know how to say a sentence in japanese.

It's "Our reputation precedes us"

Now, I know there is a sort of "western japanese writing" in english letters. May you give me this translation? Thanks

Hey i like that movie, i just watch it yesterday, but
to tell you the truth, i still suck at speaking Japanese.

But if i knew i would tell you. But Im still stuck at a point. >.<"

So good luck!

When they translate Japanese to subtitles it is often not a direct translation.

Rather they use English which would feel more natural but still capture the emotion of what is saying and/or what is trying to be conveyed to the audience.

Thanks. Then I should make you listen the dialogue.

I found it on Youtube:
YouTube - Go Go Yubari Love

The sentence I want to know is at 0:26

Sorry...

All I understood was ".......mitaidane"

Which I've learnt means "It seems........ " or "looks like" "resembles" when followed by a verb of some sort.

There are people on here more proficient than me in Japanese so you should have an answer.
