Please can you translate what sasuke says in both speech bubbles?

Thanks in advance to anybody.

Everything there is basically first semester Japanese. What exactly are you having trouble understanding?

I'm feeling pretty lazy, but I'll at least throw you the Google Translate because it's *almost* correct.

Here's the grammar used, now improved with Tae Kim links.

それはいい ＝ XはYです。 Genki Chapter 1 (Tae Kim)
どうやって = Genki Chapter 10 (Tae Kim)
もう一つ = Basic Counting (Tae Kim)

Doh, which means he probably didn't see my edit adding the grammar references ... I guess that's lazy karma payback!

I recommend this site instead of Google Translate if you want to go that far.

Edit: Got very slightly less lazy.

もう一つ = Basic Counting (See Tae Kim on Counting)

Wow, you're such a charmer.
So how would you translate it then. Let's hear you.

OK. And then what does she say in reply in the second frame?

Original sideways text: !? (as a single character)
tokyostyle's transcription: ?!

Just to confirm: when reading right-to-left, punctuation like this should also be read right-to-left?

It's just a typo on my part.

I also added a period after それはいい because without context that made the most sense.

Since this is a site for learning Japanese I didn't really feel like he was putting in an appropriate amount of effort into learning Japanese. I wasn't being dismissive because he can't understand it, but because it doesn't seem like he was trying very hard.

If you put it into a translator you do get the meaning out. Furthermore if you have honestly studied Japanese you'll have studied 100% of the grammar within the first Genki textbook.

Something like:

"Yeah, man, I'm totally like down with that and stuff! Can you tell me like how you use actually use an izanagi? It sounds pretty complicated."

"Wait, what ... I need another one first? No one told me that!? LOOK INTO MY BROODING EYES!"

I don't know why it's such a biggie when people ask for a simple translation like that.

It can always be a starting point to discuss various ways that you'd translate the sentence and related grammar points.

I created a new sticky thread for all such requests.

It's pretty healthy I think for a language forum to have such requests.

From here on all such requests are welcome, but should be posted/will be moved to the sticky.
