It is all about how the "I" is pronounced.

Ivane (rise, prize, fight) = アイヴァニー

Ivane (pick, mix, win) = イヴァニー

also, that "." at the end isn't actually included is it?

No. It was a period.

Hi all,

I'm working on translating some dialogue and was hoping someone could help me with one part.

The line is:

ふふふ　い―の　い―の あれくらい!

What does i-no i-no (in bold) mean, or how is it used?

depending on context
it's good/it's fine/that's good/that's fine

Here, the いー is いい (good) and の is a softer (some would say "more feminine") version of よ.

There are some questions I'd like to ask today.

1. シャルの問いかけにたいして、俺は歯切れの悪さを悟ら れないように短く答える。
Can someone please tell me what 歯切れの悪さを悟られないように means? I can find the meaning of each word in my dictionary, but there's no example that is useful enough to help me understand the whole phrase.

2. 家族のこと......もとい、両親に関することは俺と千冬姉 の間では暗黙の了解でタブーになっているところがある 。
Does 間 mean "between (people)" here? And how is it read in the sentence?

1. "so that s/he would not sense the ambiguity in my answer"

2. It is read あいだ. "between 千冬姉 and me"

I thought it was something related to eating since the characters are having a meal, but it turned out to be something else O_o I have to note this one right away. Thanks again masaegu.

歯切れの良い/歯切れの悪い can mean "crisp/uncrisp", but the (un)crispness of a food item is not something one can 悟る.　悟る is a pretty big word meaning "to perceive (with a great amount of intelligence)".

These phrases are much more often used for their figurative meanings "articulate/ambiguous"

Thank you that clears it up! I had wondered if いー could be いい, and it definitely is a female speaking.

I need help with some dialogue;
「そのすぐ感情的になるところは致命的だ」
I'm pretty sure the speaker is saying "Your quickness to lose your composure will get you killed." but I'm not sure.
