Notes
I'm going to search more in a bit, but can someone explain these 5 points:
- (1) What is this じゃ at the end? I found an article saying じゃ is slang for "well" or "um" but it doesn't seem to be used this way. I'm going to try to find something for elders speech
- (2) I can't figure this sentence at all, especially 読み込まれよう. Can anyone break this sentence down?
- (3) I don't really know what the subject is. Is it really 森 that is the subject of these two sentences? is the forest the one rejecting the invaders and protecting the world?
- (4) How is 前 being used in this sentence? Does it mean "The previously talked about evil power"? Or like how I wrote it?
- (5)Ok, I found the grammar for this sentence. I will change the translation, and add an explanation in the Grammar page I will create soon. Reminder for myself, it's 立た+ねばならない
Notes for myself:
- The sentence with ことで is translated slightly incorrect
- おる is the modest form of いる
