Hey guys, need help understanding a translation...
こうやってニートが出来上がっていくのねー
So this is how people become NEETs/So this is how people end up becoming NEETs.
出来上がって means to be completed/finished. I don't understand where they got "become" from. Also, when they say いくのね is that the equivalent of 行くのね？ The script is from the anime K-ON, and a girl is speaking... if that helps? Thanks.

It's more like "to become complete" (and you can apply a similar transformation to many other verbs that the dictionary will define in passive voice) as in a bridge, a book, the solar system, or a painting.
Quote:Also, when they say いくのね is that the equivalent of 行くのね?It's the -ていく form and that's the right kanji for it (though in this use, it's usually spelled in kana).
